Man, one of the most depressing aspects of modern scholarship is finding a great article and then looking up the scholar to see what else they’ve done and just catching a glimpse of an abbreviated career hopping between visiting positions and publishing great pieces before disappearing from academia

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.

Kind reminder to non-Spanish commentators:

True. But many of Sánchez successes can be explained by the presence of leftwing junior partners in his coalition government: first Unidas Podemos (2020-2023), then Sumar (2023-now). In economy and foreign policy precisely.

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

Va todo de la mano: decir no a la guerra, decir no a un modelo económico que beneficia a una oligarquía en detrimento de todos los demás y decir no al capitalismo fósil que está destruyendo el planeta. 

Va hilo:

Luego he empezado a usarlo en contexto académico pq analíticamente me parece importante. Y pq ahora si veo más claramente similitudes. Pero como arma política la veo igual que tú, no sirve de mucho y de hecho a menudo refuerza pq a los fachos les gusta la lógica del escándalo, de romper el tabú./y2

Muy interesante. Yo me resistía hace años a usar “fascista” con V0X por estas razones (el escándalo izquierdista automático para evitarse analizar con más atención, ver lo nuevo, etc) y porque efectivamente se ha abusado del termino./1

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest.

In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

Vera Fauna, Rufus T Firefly - Los grillos (Live session) YouTube video by Vera Fauna

Muy a tope con esta colaboración entre las que para mi son las dos mejores bandas en Esp ahora mismo. El tema original de Vera Fauna es espléndido, pero la participación de los Rufus le añade un toque prog canterburiano que me encanta.
