No más chocolate Dubai y gildas a precio de oro: las modas ‘gastro’ más irritantes de 2025 De los macarrones pijos a las neotabernas y los tiramisús en todas partes, ponemos las peores tendencias sobre la mesa y pedimos su desaparición como deseo para el Año Nuevo

The road to autocracy is paved with false equivalences.

¡Enhorabuena, amigos!

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

AI-powered textbooks fail to make the grade in South Korea South Korea’s AI learning program was rolled back after just four months following a backlash from teachers, students, and parents, underlining the challenges in embedding the technology in education.

South Korea pushed AI hard in schools. The national program was aborted within months, following massive pushback from students, parents and teachers, after a fortune had already been spent by both the government and education publishers

"This is, in many ways, the dynamic that defines reactionary centrism: the right must be understood, but never blamed. The left can be blamed, but need not be understood."

Very, very good piece, highly recommended. This is the dominant ideological tendency in the US elite today and it is *toxic*.

Warnings From Weimar Why bargaining with authoritarians fails.

“At a moment in which democracy is backsliding in places as varied as Hungary, India, Turkey, and the United States, it is a reminder that democracy often erodes slowly at first, via the gradual surrender of those entrusted to defend it.” By Daniel Ziblatt

🚨 New report by Le Monde on Spain’s far-right media ecosystem:

“En Espagne, une constellation poreuse d’influenceurs-journalistes au service de l’extrême droite”

From Parliament to social media, Spain is a testing ground for influencers spreading far-right narratives as news.

8/ And on a more personal note, it’s a joy to embark on this journey alongside colleagues who are, above all, great friends.

Looking forward to sharing more as the work unfolds¡

7/ It’s a project I’m especially excited about: it brings together shared research, collective reflection, and a chance to rethink Francoism’s place in 20th-century global history.

6/ 🔗 Our project forms part of the coordinated project
“Compared Post-War Regimes II: The Spanish Dictatorships in the Transnational Context of Counterrevolution and Anti-Communism in the 20th Century,” led by @maxifuentescodera.bsky.social (‪‪@univgirona.bsky.social‬)

5/ 🧑‍💼 I have the privilege of co-leading this project with my long-time mentor, Miguel Ángel Ruiz Carnicer, as part of a wide team of historians from several European and Latin American universities.

4/ We’ll examine its ideological, diplomatic, and organisational influence — and how it integrated into broader transnational spaces shaped by anti-communism, counterrevolution, and critiques of liberal democracy.

3/ Over the next four years, an interdisciplinary and international team will explore how Francoism became a reference point for conservative and authoritarian networks across Europe and the Americas during the Cold War.

2/ 🎯 The project, funded through the 2024 Generación Conocimiento call (PID2024-155891NB-C22), is titled:

“Transnational Francoism: Francoism as a model for authoritarian and anti-communist political organisations and movements during the Cold War, 1945–1975.”

1/ A few days ago, I was thrilled to share that I’ll be leading a new research project funded by Spain’s National Research Plan. Today, I’d like to tell you more about the collective work we’re about to begin 🧵
