No los quiero desilusionar, chicos, pero el FMI también felicitó a Menem, a De la Rúa y a Macri. Siempre felicita por el ajuste y advierte por “las consecuencias”. Pero el público se renueva.

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents. It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years. There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

has there been a piece about Giselle Pelicot by a man, reflecting on what he's learned about masculinity, about himself and about other men from this horrific case? I feel I've seen so much by women, but it wasn't women who bloody did it. It's not women who need to reflect on how it could happen.

No shit murder is bad. The jokes about the United CEO aren’t really about him; they’re about the rapacious healthcare system he personified and which Americans feel deep pain and humiliation about

Hablar de VIH/sida para muchos sigue siendo un tabú. Quizás no lo sabías: Asimov murió en 1992 pero recién 10 años después se supo que murió por complicaciones relacionadas con el sida. Había contraído el #VIH en 1983 en una transfusión de sangre, cuando se le practicó una cirugía coronaria.

Netflix - please stop minimising the end credits of movies to suggest something else. Let viewers enjoy the soundtrack and see the cast and crew that worked on the film. We'll exit it ourselves when ready to. #film #filmsky #movies #moviesky

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example). 1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company. 2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly. 🧵
