*** Publicación de Iñaki Gabilondo contra la desmemoria. “No me hubiera gustado escribir sobre esto por respeto a las víctimas del accidente ferroviario de Urda y a sus familiares. Pero, ante determinadas intervenciones del PP y Vox, tampoco parece justo dejar que la memoria desaparezca del debate.
Hay que investigar hasta el final, explicar qué falló y exigir todas las responsabilidades que correspondan. También al Gobierno actual. La vida de las personas no tiene precio y ninguna sigla debe servir de escudo.
Pero una cosa es reclamar respuestas y otra llamar a Óscar Puente «ministro de la muerte», como ha hecho Abascal. Eso no esclarece las causas ni mejora la seguridad: convierte una tragedia en una agresión política.
Y cuando el PP se presenta como ejemplo de gestión y responsabilidad, conviene recordar su trayectoria.
Prestige, 2002. Gobernaba Aznar; Álvarez-Cascos era ministro de Fomento; Rajoy, vicepresidente, y Fraga presidía la Xunta. Ni Cascos ni Rajoy dejaron sus cargos por aquella gestión.
Yak-42, 2003. Aznar presidía el Gobierno y Federico Trillo era ministro de Defensa. Trillo no dimitió como ministro por la tragedia. En 2017, Defensa reconoció formalmente la responsabilidad patrimonial de la Administración.
Metro de Valencia, 2006. Francisco Camps presidía la Generalitat. Las familias tuvieron que esperar casi catorce años para que cuatro exdirectivos de la empresa pública fueran condenados.
Madrid Arena, 2012. Ana Botella era alcaldesa cuando murieron cinco jóvenes en un recinto municipal. Ella permaneció en el cargo.
Angrois, 2013. El accidente del Alvia ocurrió con Rajoy como presidente y Ana Pastor en Fomento. Ninguno dimitió.
11M, 2004. Los responsables de los asesinatos fueron los terroristas yihadistas. Lo que corresponde recordar del Gobierno de Aznar y de su ministro del Interior, Ángel Acebes, es su insistencia en atribuirlos a ETA mientras avanzaban los indicios de otra autoría. El apoyo de Aznar a la invasión de Irak fue su detonante. Aún no ha pedido perdón.
Dana de Valencia, 2024. La Generalitat de Carlos Mazón tenía competencias esenciales en la gestión de la emergencia. Su prolongada comida en El Ventorro y las distintas versiones sobre aquella tarde exigían explicaciones. Sí, acabó dimitiendo: un año después, pero le dieron otro carguito.
¿Son estos los antecedentes desde los que pretenden dar lecciones? Gobernar cuando sucede una tragedia no convierte automáticamente a nadie en culpable. Pero ese mismo criterio debe aplicarse a todos.
Y la exigencia de transparencia también vale para Vox. Según sus cuentas, había transferido casi trece millones de euros a Disenso, la fundación presidida por Abascal, desde su creación y hasta mediados de 2026. Es legítimo exigir claridad sobre el destino y los beneficiarios de ese dinero. También sobre las relaciones económicas publicadas entre empresas de su entorno y su esposa, Lidia Bedman, sin dar por probada ninguna ilegalidad.
La memoria importa igualmente cuando hablan de independencia judicial. No se ha olvidado aquel mensaje de Ignacio Cosidó sobre controlar la Sala Segunda del Supremo «desde detrás». El objetivo ahora es el Constitucional y el Consejo General del Poder Judicial, ninguno debe convertirse en instrumento de un partido.
Nos jugamos una gestión pública responsable, unas instituciones independientes y unas prioridades que protejan las pensiones, los salarios, la sanidad, la educación y la dependencia.
Hay cosas que corregir y responsabilidades que exigir. Todas. Pero reclamar soluciones no obliga a entregar la confianza a quienes utilizan una vara de medir cuando gobiernan y otra cuando están en la oposición.
Si eres de izquierdas, participa y vota a la izquierda. La clase trabajadora y la clase media tenemos demasiado en juego.

SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026)
Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.
We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.
America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.
His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen.

They say you should never meet your heroes, but as one of millions who grew up admiring Patrick Stewart, it was a joy to get to know him and discover that his kindness and decency were just as great as his enormous, generational talent. There will not be another like him, and with the sad news of his passing, our thoughts are with his wife Sunny, his family, and his many friends. Our culture is so much richer because of Sir Patrick Stewart’s life and work.

In 1952, an English teacher named Cecil Dormand secretly paid for a dirt-poor 11-year-old to take a drama course.
He never told him and the boy didn’t find out until decades later.
By then, he was a knight, that little boy’s name was Patrick Stewart.
He was born into a poor family in Mirfield, a small mill town in Yorkshire and his father came home from World War II a violent man, and he was violent toward Patrick’s mother.
Young Patrick learned exactly when to step between his father’s fist and his mother.
An English teacher put a copy of Shakespeare in his hand and told him to get up and perform.
He never stopped and left school at 15.
By 19 he was completely bald... most agencies told him he'd never make it because of that.
In 1987, the LA Times called him an “unknown British Shakespearean actor” when he was cast as Captain Picard.
Then he became one of the most famous faces on Earth.
You’ve probably heard that part.
Here’s the part you haven’t:
He spent decades as a patron of Refuge, sheltering women and children from domestic violence.
But he never stopped trying to understand his father.
He dug up a 1940 newspaper clipping that said his dad had come home with severe shell shock.
He went to France and walked the ground where his father’s unit was pinned down under bombing for hours.
He learned his father had PTSD, and nobody ever helped him.
So Patrick became an ambassador for Combat Stress, a charity that helps veterans.
In 2013, a young woman at a Texas convention told him she was a survivor of domestic violence.
He asked, “My dear, are you okay?”
Then he hopped off the stage, held her, and told her: “You never have to go through that again, you’re safe now.”
At Dragon Con, a Make-A-Wish girl dressed as Spock came to meet him.
2,000 people were waiting for him to speak... he sat down and talked with her for 15 minutes, making all of them wait.
He told her that since they were friends now, whenever she saw him on screen she could wave and say, “Hello Patrick.”
After 9/11, he felt helpless, so he brought his one-man A Christmas Carol back to Broadway for a full week of charity shows.
He played every character himself and donated every cent.
In 2019 he did it again, and every dollar went to feeding hungry New Yorkers.
In 2017, he fostered a pit bull named Ginger, who had been rescued from a dogfighting ring.
She was his first dog in more than 50 years.
He couldn’t bring her home to England, so he found her a family.
Then he kept fostering more.
When he said he was done with Star Trek so many people told him the show had gotten them through the hardest times of their lives.
So he wanted to see if Picard could do it one more time.
Rest in Peace, Sir Patrick 🖖

Libghostty progress in the past 6 months. It's amazing that NOTHING IN THIS LIST was true 6 months ago, and now its ALL VERY REAL. I remember bringing up the idea of libghostty 4 years ago and most people saying "but why." I did it anyways. And here we are!
Text reproduced in case its easier to read this way:
As a reminder, libghostty is the highly portable, embeddable library that provides core terminal emulation, render state, and more. I always felt that a free, high qualty, lightweight, reusable terminal emulation core would benefit the developer world more than any single GUI application. And that is playing out!
It is and always was my true purpose with the Ghostty project (I said this in my first ever talk about Ghostty!). I've jokingly said many times that Ghostty GUI is just a glorified tech demo for libghostty. That's not fair though, because GUI is great and there are really talented people working on it.
Since I started the project, Ghostty has always gotten people saying "I don't understand why you'd start a terminal emulator today." Well, the answer is libghostty. It's truly unique and its enabling something special (imo!).
Highlights of libghostty since 6 months ago (none of the below was true 6 months ago):
- Libghostty has nearly 100% coverage of all of Ghostty's core (and you can compile with flags to remove any of these features for size/safety): libghostty.tip.ghostty.org/
- Libghostty now builds and is tested (in CI) for: Apple (macOS, iOS, visionOS), Windows (MSVC and GNU), Linux, FreeBSD, Android, WebAssembly, and freestanding (i.e. direct on hardware with no OS).
- Libghostty has bindings in pretty much every popular programming language: C, Zig, Go, Swift, Python, Rust, .NET, etc.
- Libghostty's memory requirements have dramatically shrunk to enable the portability above. There's still work to do but a single empty terminal now takes 90% less memory. And at scale I've proven 10,000 active (input/output happening) terminals on a Linux server with 4 cores and 8 GB of RAM.
- Libghostty powers all JetBrains IDE terminals, over 12.5 million active users. blog.jetbrains.com/platform/…...
- Libghostty is the most popular core behind the wave of venture-backed "agentic" terminals and editors, such as Herdr, cmux, and many others.
- Libghostty is being discussed and has been verbally accepted to replace the terminal core in Neovim: github.com/neovim/neovim/pul… (work still to be done)
- Libghostty powers a really popular and powerful terminal emulator for emacs (Ghostel): github.com/dakra/ghostel
- Libghostty's speed is used by Antithesis to fuzz popular terminal programs and has directly led to hundreds of bug fixes sent upstream to programs such as tmux, btop, shells, and other terminal emulators. :)
- And so much more: github.com/Uzaaft/awesome-li…
Libghostty is really successfully turning into the tide that raises all boats. As it becomes more popular, Ghostty itself gets more performant and stable, and so does everyone else. It is also a vehicle for delivering modern terminal emulation to the widest source possible.
I plan on tagging libghostty 1.0 in the next few months and declaring ABI stability at that point!

El que abraza a Lula es @AndreJanonesMG el diputado que con un canal de WhatsApp rompió el bloqueo de Meta y las otras empresas tecnológicas, y cambió la campaña después de la derrota en primera vuelta.
Hijo de una empleada domestica y un padre discapacitado, se pagó su carrera de abogado trabajando como cobrador de pasajes en los buses.
Su canal de WhatsApp (donde creó el “Ejército de Lula) pasó de 50 mil personas en primera vuelta a 10 millones para la segunda.
Sin el trabajo de Janones no hay remontada, Lula lo sabe y por eso el reconocimiento de ayer.
Como anécdota, fue quien convenció a Lula de finalmente usar teléfono celular, un iPhone.
Ahhh y reivindicó la camiseta de la selección Brasil para la campaña, de la que se había apropiado el bolsonarismo.
Esta é a foto que está estampando a vitória de Lula nos principais jornais do mundo (vi no The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian e no The Times).
Bastante representativa para ilustrar a importância de @AndreJanonesMG nesta campanha! Arrisco dizer que sem Janones, Lula não teria virado. E Lula reconheceu isso. Só Alckmin e Janones receberam o microfone para discursar na Paulista.
Não há dúvidas que, descontado o próprio Lula, André Janones é o nome que sai maior desse pleito presidencial. E com altas credenciais para disputar o governo de Minas Gerais pelo PT em 2030.
Por hora, espero que seja nomeado Secretário de Comunicação Social ainda em Lula 3! Tem tudo para conseguir cumprir a promessa que acabou de fazer: garantir que Lula termine o próximo governo com uma aprovação beirando os 90%.

Este es el momento exacto en el que Lula ganó las elecciones de Brasil.
Ocurrió durante el debate. Convirtió una burla en un discurso de clase.
Por estas cosas ha ganado. Honor.

gimme a sec. (and feedback on this)
i’m currently reversing and documenting the entire OS.
the plan: release a simple open source distributable that lets you flash a custom OS on your tv with ZERO telemetry*, that sacrifices no functionality
this would include the full exploit. when it matters to the general public’s privacy i wont hoard zero days.
*apps like youtube, netflix, etc. will still send their ordinary telemetry. highly impractical to defeat, but you can load your own ameliorated forks if you prefer

We finally have an explanation for “Facebook is listening to me through my phone”. They’d never do that (and it’s not really possible).
Turns out literally everyone else was — and then selling that to ad data brokers.
WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.
Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.
Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.
then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.
This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.
