‘Countries that claim to oppose unprovoked wars have, with the commendable exception of Spain, welcomed this one.’

Tragedy, farce, reckoning. We've been here before. We know how it ends. We know what to do.

1. La vivienda en alquiler se ha convertido en un gran negocio. Los rentistas controlan la economía y la política, pero destrozan la sociedad.
Hay alternativas. La generación inquilina puede acabar con esta desigualdad y cambiar el modelo para siempre.

Wow.
Enhorabuena a los decanatos que organizan jornadas de puertas y abiertas y orientación profesional de sus facultades para estudiantes de bachillerato entre semana y en pleno período de exámenes trimestrales. Visionarios.
Hacía tiempo que no me reía tanto
I've enjoyed Barnard’s book. Early chapters feel rushed, clearing space in crowded debates on hominization, language, and behavioural modernity. But it powerfully defends anthropology and centers forager kinship & myth in symbolic thought. Highly recommended.
Qué ilusión saber que el libro circula y resulta de provecho ☺️
¡Qué ilusión! Muchas gracias por el interés y espero que os guste 😊
Conozco un libro que habla de esto
Es el momento de recuperar el proyecto de cultura digital libre, depurarlo de ciberfetichismo, y convertirlo en un modelo que asombre al mundo. Nuestro país está en condiciones de liderar un futuro de abundancia solar y digital frente a las las viejas potencias en descomposición y a las emergentes.
Holy shit. So this just happened at Minneapolis's legendary First Avenue club. That's Tom Morello introducing Springsteen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jHe...
Proud.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

A politics worthy of the term
A propos police "training" we published this extraordinary essay by Jessica Katzenstein in Cultural Anthropology only a couple of issues ago. A must read in these times

THREAD START 👇
AUGURAL TERRITORIES: How pandemic Madrid’s grassroots reinvented urban life by working in the mid‑range—the space‑time between near and far where logistics, care, and improvisation rewire territory.
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Takeaway: The mid‑range returns as an engine for collective transformation. Nearness = intensity, not distance. Territory emerges from logistics, attention, and care—this is an augural territory. THREAD END
Municipal services quietly referred urgent cases to community networks. Pantries added paperwork desks, mental‑health signposting, and “quality time” triage.
Hacks that mattered: IFEMA field‑hospital overstocks rerouted to neighborhoods; hundreds of beds saved from disposal; WhatsApp alerts synchronized bulk pickups.
*Prophetic organizing* = seeing what’s here and what’s ahead. Grassroots collapsed near/far with improvised corridors, storage, and transport that bent the city’s topology.
3- Intensification—new regimes of attention. Hotlines rang 9am–midnight; weekly check‑ins with 2,346 elders; home deliveries to avoid shaming queues.
2- Lamination—layering knowledges. La Prospe launched a volunteer “taxi” for discharged patients—pairing drivers, stair help, routes, and care without algorithms. In Moratalaz, networks mapped buildings without lifts and targeted isolated elders—anticipating where vulnerability would spike.
Three grassroots operations:
1- Decoherence—taking territory apart and refitting it to needs (e.g., La Piluka’s zoned grid and satellite depots).
Citywide tally: 63 pantries reached 13,222 families (~46,000 people), thickening the city’s mesh with ad hoc transport, storage, and distribution lines
