Imaginad que decís que os gustan los gatos pero que no os gusta que llenen todo de pelo, ni que se afilen las uñas, ni que ronroneen, ni que se os suban pidiendo mimos. Imaginad que no sorportais tener un arenero o tener redes en las ventanas. Pero os gustan los gatos.

Pues los "heteros" y que todo lo referente a "la mujer" os disguste, moleste u os repulse

I was the victim of an extremely clever card fraud/social engineering hack.

Well, partly a victim since I managed to stop it.

I was called by my bank, as they wanted to “verify some suspect transactions on my account”.

Then things got weird…

Ipar Afrikako hiru neska migratzailetik batek sexu-abusuak edo beste genero indarkeria mota batzuk jasan edo ikusi izan ditu bere jaioterrietatik segurtasun bila ihesi zebilela. Migratzaileen eta errefuxiatuen egoera antzekoa da beste ibilbide batzuetan. 50 iheslari eta migratzailetatik bat hil edo desagertzen da Europaranzko Mediterraneoko bideetan, eta haurrek indarkeria eta baldintza ankerrak pairatzen dituzte iristen direnean.

En un giro inesperado del guión, la madre de Rubiales sube al campanario de la iglesia y despliega una pancarta que dice: "Hijo, estoy cansada y tengo hambre, si tienes huevos dimite ya de una pvta vez..."

45 climate scientists were asked what we thought of this years' climate disasters. Here are the highlights.

We all pretty much agree that "despite it certainly feeling as if events had taken a frightening turn, global heating to date is entirely in line with 3 decades of scientific predictions. But being proved right is cold comfort, as our warnings had so far been largely in vain."

"Climate science’s projections are pretty robust over the last decades. Unfortunately, humanity’s stubbornness to spew out ever higher amounts of greenhouse gases has also been pretty robust." @meinshausen

"What we are seeing this year is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, of what we expect to happen,” says Natalie Mahowald, and "this will become the average summer in 10 years’ time unless the world cooperates and puts climate action top of the agenda" adds Piers Forster.

As Gavin Schmidt said previously, we are not surprised, but we are shocked. Krishna AchutaRao agrees, adding that "the impacts are frighteningly more impactful than I – and many climate scientists I know – expected.”

As a result, psychological distance is decreasing. “I do think we are hitting a tipping point in global consciousness,” I said. “Nearly everyone can now point to someone or somewhere they love that is being affected by wildfire smoke, heat extremes, flooding, and more.”

And we all agree about what needs to be done. “We need to stop burning fossil fuels,” says Fredi Otto. “Now."

* By "we," we mean starting with the biggest emitters. As Paola Arias says, "We need a just + equitable transition. A very small % of the population is responsible for most greenhouse gas emissions.” [specifically, Oxfam finds that the richest 1% produce 2x the carbon of the poorest 50%]

So, #wikipedia is fun, but depending on the language you can see the bias or what some people try to impose or want to hide.

Today's example: Gamazada. During this Basque revolt in 1893, the Spanish civil guard killed 6 people.

The Basque Wikipedia (https://eu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamazada) mentions that 6 (Basque) people were killed and a number of other civilians were injuried.

Neither the Spanish (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamazada) or the English (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamazada) one say anything about the people killed.

Spain has asked the European Union to recognize Basque, Catalan, and Galician as official EU languages.

For those of us who translate to or from any of Spain's co-official minority languages, if this proposal is ever approved, it would mean that the EU's excellent multilingual terminology database IATE would start to include terms in those languages.

Tamara Ramos era empleada de Rubiales en la AFE. Presentó una demanda por acoso.

Estando embarazada pidió a Rubiales que no lo cuente, que no lo sabe nadie. Y acto seguido él convoca una reunión y se lo dice a todos los empleados. Y dice: "Yo ya le he dicho que le den por detrás".

También la golpeaba e insultaba en público: "cállate la puta boca", "no le hagáis caso a esta preñada. Las neuronas se le han ido" o "aquí se hace lo que me sale a mí de la punta de la polla"
