One of the most insightful things I've heard about QAn*n was @foldablehuman.bsky.social's description of flat earth as "esoteric fictionalism" where the adherents seek to understand the world through a syncretic blend of fictional pop culture texts including sci-fi and fantasy

Nothing helped me understand how much energy a car uses like having solar on my roof. On a good day my house generates enough for my house + a comparable house -- or my house + my car going 200 miles.
200 miles in an EV = an entire hot summer day of AC, hot water, dishwasher, dryer, etc.

1/n Recientemente @ahorapodemos.bsky.social ha expresado su preocupación por el RDL 7/2025 porque dicen que no ataca las causas del apagón ni castiga al oligopolio. Esto es lo contrario de lo que puede lograr este RDL.

Lo de estos días no nos debe hacer discutir sobre la inmigración, sino sobre la posibilidad de ilegalizar partidos sustentados en la difusión de fakes y violencia. Ese es el tema. No hay otro.

Congestion pricing in Manhattan is a predictable success
So why on earth did it take so long to start?
“The idea of paying a $9 toll each day infuriated her. Yet since the policy was implemented she has changed her mind. A journey which used to take an hour or more can now be as quick as 15m. Polls show more New Yorkers now support the toll than oppose it. A few months ago, it saw staunch opposition”

Miedo, vacío y Pedro Sánchez
Los socialistas pueden mantener a Vox fuera del Gobierno ofreciendo una gran coalición al PP en caso de perder en las urnas
Mira, es fin de semana de hacer amigos en el PSOE y que no me llamen nunca más desde Ferraz.

Electric shock: The Chinese threat to Europe’s industrial heartland
The industrial heartland of Germany and central Europe is at risk from the second “China shock”. Here is how decision-makers can save industry and avert social and political strife.
Central & eastern European countries “have been looking for a sweet spot: attaching themselves to competitive German global value chains, while cosying up to China for additional economic benefits. Yet they fail to grasp that this China shock will be bruising for Germany—but fatal for them.”

Newsletter: We are in the era of the Business Idiot, where middle management has seized power, breeding out true meritocracy and value-creation in favor of symbolic growth and superficial intelligence. This piece ties together everything I've ever written.

Congestion pricing was designed to finance more than $15 billion in critical transit upgrades in New York City. Those investments will take years. But the parallel changes at street level are already apparent. Here’s what we know so far. nyti.ms/4mbuGg0

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.
He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords
Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

There was this whole thing where people said the French wouldn't embrace bicycle commuting like the Dutch because of inherent cultural traits and these lanes would be ghost towns. Instead, obviously, bike usage exploded as soon as the infrastructure was made available. These are all lessons people!

Mucha de la derecha europea que se queja de que Europa es débil, que es cierto, han trabajado activamente para ello, para debilitar a la UE desde dentro, y la complacencia con la ultraderecha tiene mucho que ver. Yo estoy a favor de aparcar diferencias YA pero sin tragarme sus relatos.

Trump and Musk are eliminating any part of government that works well, because that undermines their thesis that government doesn’t work.
GSA (which houses 18F) turns a profit as an agency. Naturally it has to be destroyed. 18F’s healthy revenue stream also means it must go.

Winston Churchill at the White House wearing a one-piece garment known as a siren suit.
Zelenskyy's character can be judge more directly by how he treats others and whether you think he's protected his country. From what I've seen, he has treated Americans with respect. His attire is to remind people he's at war, not unlike Churchill wearing a siren suit to the White House in 1942.

10 Observations About Tokyo
Notes on the world's most successful failing society.
"How a compact metro area of 37 million people manages to feel this relaxed isn’t really a mystery: the city declared war on cars, and then won that war. Citywide, there are 0.32 cars per household, half the level in New York or London."

Desfinanciar lo público, sea sanidad, educación, servicios sociales, etc, es una estrategia para generar también la sensación de ruina y crisis permanente y que sea algo para pobres que no merece cuidado. Sé que soy pesada con esto pero insisto en que lo estético es esencial.
