The reason Texas is part of the USA is that Mexico made slavery illegal.

Remember the Alamo? A lot of white people don't know is that what the "brave" people in the Alamo were fighting for was slavery.

That's also why it took two years after the civil war ended for enforcement of anti-slavery in Texas. (it wasn't because of slow communication, as is told in revisionist histories, it was because white people willfully defied the law).

Freedom is always worth fighting for.

💥 WHEN THE INTERNET DIES: DIY COMMS SURVIVAL TOOLKIT

Some of my personal favs?
📦 Internet in a Box – Doesn’t fix comms but is clutch for info sharing when it all goes to hell.
📡 Cantenna – Because it's cheap, DIY, and let’s be real, it’s fucking funny.

Me sé un prompt para esto, pero a los "writingWithAI no les va a gustar.

>Escríbelo tu.

"AI" ethics is a loaded phrase

A MLM can not be evil; only the company creating it can, because models have no intent

And there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that these companies will prioritize them getting first mover advantage over literally the planet and every person on it

It is realistic we could slow down, and build chips that do this type of work with less energy. But doing that would mean Google,OpenAI,etc can't use their exclusive access to chips for rushing to the market

Ayer por casualidad me dio por bajarme los datos de vivienda construida en España del INE porque veréis, la derecha, los serpientos, la fachosfera y toda esa recua vienen diciendo que la culpa de que la vivienda esté tan cara no es de la especulación o los pisos turísticos sino de que no se construye vivienda porque el malvado estado con sus malvadas regulaciones impide que se construyan los muy necesarios pisos y claro, oferta y demanda.

Con esa retórica cualquiera podría suponer que el ratio de casas por habitante habría descendido abismalmente para justificar la actual espiral de precios, ¿no?

Pues oye que raro, porque a mí me sale que en 2001 había 0,51 viviendas por habitante en España y a fecha de hoy hay 0,55, vamos que hay más viviendas per cápita que las que había hace 25 años.

Pues igual no era eso, ¿eh?

"Mi hermano/a/e de Cristo"
→ asume género del oyente
→ expresión inglesa, suena raro en español
→ asume fe religiosa

"Alma de cántaro"
→ aplicable a todo el mundo, incluyendo mascotas y plantas
→ expresión perfectamente autóctona
→ ¿es tener alma una cuestión religiosa? No lo sé del todo pero al menos no es exclusivo de una sola religión
