In case it was not yet clear that who you vote for has immense consequences.
Well deserving of the FIFA peace prize
So far in 2026, America has launched a military strike on 22% of Saturdays
In the generation of my parents there were a lot of stay at home mums that, very literally, are the reason why men have the careers they have. They donβt have pension upon retirement. Me parece insultante.
Nosotras tmb sufrimos la pΓ©rdida de nuestro Γ‘rbol :(
I am getting started in Claude Code. The same mentor who walked me through being a RA, then through the PhD, is now building the path for me to use AI. I got really lucky. He is not in here, but thank you, Cblatt.
Si vuelvo a oΓr βSanchismoβ me va a dar un derrame. Que forma tan vil y cruel de cargarse las normas informales que sostienen la democracia.
One day a year, all of us immigrants (who are not under direct threat) should wear a t-shirt saying so. It would be a powerful and visual reminder of how essential immigrants are to all aspects of the societies we live, construct, and contribute to. Lets add second generation too.
I might even dare to advocate for learning languages, benefits are infinite.
Imagine being able to enjoy music of which you donβt understand the lyrics (and have it represented in all mayor cultural events). Great discovery for some, a known fact for all of us which are not native English speakers.
What a lot of us needed but didnβt (?) know we did was that half time sΓΊper tazΓ³n show. Thank you, Benito Antonio MartΓnez Ocasio, desde el corazΓ³n.
Que viva f*** Latin America y todo su talento. The only thing more powerful than hate, is love. Que espectΓ‘culo amores.

What a moment.
Where I live gives me life. Todayβs run.
Sometimes, Spain makes me proud. In the face of declining international solidarity and rise of nationalism, authoritarism, and isolationism, the Prime Minister of Spain thinks differently. And you should hear him out. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/o...
I am an immigrant. I was educated in Spain, UK, & US. I worked in Colombia. I live in France. I teach French (+ international) college students. Research how to help youth suffering from marginalization. Consult with European policy makers. Pay my taxes. And I, too, try to make this a better place.
Dang so school may matter
I am genuinely very happy with the team I work with on a regular basis. It does such a difference in my day to day.
Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right β you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.
lol our society is allergic to holding powerful men accountable
Too often during the last *6* years meetings start with a version of "the world seems to be on the verge of collapse, but... I guess we just have to keep working".
I find myself organizing panels with high up members of different organizations. My experience is that people are vigilant of not creating panels of all men. I want to scream that the problem is not only the panel, is that you donβt give top positions to women enough. *So many* men up there.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
And I am worried about being not being knowledgeable enough when presenting at academic conferences. At least I get my countries straight.
Any wild guesses of where I am? I think this might be Paris, France, but you know, Europe is unrecognizable these days⦠#ThisIsEurope
In the middle of all of this⦠you really tell me I have to go on and do my job as if nothing was happening and we are just in business as usual?
I have very good friends. And this makes me feel I got really lucky and that I must not be handling all that bad life :)
