A stock market is where shares in companies are bought and sold based on economic data such as “did the president say war words or peace words last night?” and “can you imagine a future where computers do all your work for you much better than you do would but you keep all the money?”

Thanks. Yes, that's what I was trying to say, but took too long to get there. Our politics community is strong, and I'd love for us to expand into new communities. Science and sports have already taken off. Birding, gardening, K-pop, we're open to all (except nazis and jerks).

It’s happening.

La cuantía de la sanción está limitada por ley, pero ojo: lo que implica un expediente de Consumo de esta naturaleza es también el precedente de prohibición explícita de estas prácticas. Si se reitera en prácticas abusivas, las empresas quedan expuestas a más multas y otras sanciones crecientes.

El Ministerio de Consumo sanciona con 320.000€ a una empresa que organiza festivales de música por prácticas abusivas como no permitir la entrada con comida o bebida del exterior. Paso a paso, hasta que se respeten los derechos de los consumidores en todas partes.

Ay mecachis.

Robinhood now makes more money from prediction markets than it does from stock trades or crypto. This adds weight to my theory that Bitcoin and crypto has crashed due to competition from Polymarket and Kalshi for the online gambler demographic.

The far-right reactions are not the real problem. They do what they believe in. The big problem is the similar reactions from liberal democratic parties from left to right. And thát, more than anything, is the problem of the 21st century!

Nathalie Tocci@nathalietocci.bsky.social · 3d ago

When an EU member is in trouble, esp if instigated from outside, as for Spain in Ceuta, solidarity should be the only EU response. Far-right reactions is yet more proof there’s no “moderate” far-right, only different ways far right forces seek to dismantle European integration

You can talk about tech sovereignty and defence all you like, but it doesn't matter if you're caving in to hybrid attacks within five minutes. Might as well save the money on the weapons, frankly, if European leaders are just going to surrender to hybrid attacks like this.

John Springford@johnspringford.bsky.social · 2d ago

Treating this as a pan-European crisis and closing borders disproportionately *encourages* other countries to use these tactics as political weapons. Sow division, isolate EU countries who are particular enemies.

Me lo pasé en grande.

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

Hungary's new government is tested very early. Paks nuclear plant is about to go offline for the first time in 44 years because the Danube is drying up. That's nearly half the country's electricity. Collapsed supply & gas prices spiking throughout the region. Just brutal. apnews.com/article/hung...

Hungary braces for a full shutdown of the Paks nuclear plant as the Danube River hits record lows

Hungary's only nuclear power plant is shutting down for the first time due to record-low water levels on the Danube River.

Everything will keep getting worse until we reach net zero. If you only believe in adaptation, you have to adapt forever. But at some point we reach the limit of human ingenuity and physics, and can't adapt any further. Meanwhile, we need essentially no new tech to reach net zero

Swedish migration minister Forssell (M/EPP) now says he believes that #Ceuta was a hybrid attack by external actors, but still blames the Spanish government for what happened. This is getting ridiculous.

Paul T. Levin@paultlevin.bsky.social · 3d ago

Tvärtom belyser detta perspektiv problemet med de instinktiva populistiska reaktionerna från många europeiska politiker. Dessa spelar rakt i händerna på Marocko och de eventuella andra externa aktörer som legat bakom krisen i Ceuta. (Efter att jag skrev detta såg jag att Forssell svarar på det.)

Parece ser que lo que contiene el texto aprobado hace dos semanas es el reconocimiento de que Ceuta y Melilla están en territorio marroquí, y apoya los esfuerzos del Departamento de Estado para que España y Marruecos “aborden” el asunto (!?). Aquí hay detalles: www.newsweek.com/massie-accus...

Massie says fellow Republicans condemning the Ceuta migrant surge backed House language aligned with Morocco's claim to the Spanish enclave.

Hace dos semanas, el Congreso de EEUU aprobó un proyecto de ley que litetalmente daba luz verde a la transferencia de territorio español a Marruecos... Esto es lo que está ocurriendo, Trump atacando la integridad territorial de otro aliado en Europa y la OTAN

La disponibilidad de Almaraz 1, la central que debería cerrar el año que viene en caso de no prorrogarse, es del 65,72% del 1 de enero al 18 de agosto. Y para todo 2026, si no tuviese ninguna incidencia más hasta fin de año, en el mejor de los casos del 78,49%

Me parece inteligente, ahora mismo, poner el foco en vdL para tratar de desautorizar a los EM que han aprovechado para atacar a España, especialmente a Meloni. El premio gordo sería tumbar los controles fronterizos injustificados, pero todo lo que se pueda conseguir será positivo.

Gabriela Martínez@gabrielanm.bsky.social · 4d ago

Estimada Presidenta @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu: Le escribo para expresar mi seria preocupación por la reciente reacción que algunos gobiernos europeos han mostrado tras el incidente que tuvo lugar en la frontera exterior de la Unión Europea en Ceuta.

Germany is not going to make it.

Finbarr Bermingham@fbermingham.bsky.social · 5d ago

German economy minister Reiche's answer to Chinese EV competition is to weaken vehicle emissions rules. What decade does she live in? Reiche: "It is important that Brussels now delivers on making fleet regulation flexible enough to ensure that no fines are imposed"

No recuerdo con quién tuve la conversación, pero hace poco alguien me decía que El Confidencial era un periódico relativamente serio del centro político, y yo insistía en que era un panfleto ultra que cada vez disimulaba menos. Sigo pensando que tengo yo razón.

Idafe Martín Pérez ✨ 🚴@idafe.bsky.social · 5d ago

El jefe de investigación de El Confidencial cree que los gobernantes europeos pueden ir por ahí expulsando Estados miembros de la UE. O sabe que es mentira y un disparate e intenta engañar. O cree que es posible. Y estoy por pensar que es esto.

Marruecos y la ultraderecha internacional han enviado a la muerte a unas 60 personas (por el momento) para sumar unos puntos en su campaña de acoso y derribo al gobierno de España.

My favorite product at the moment. An agricultural by-product is transformed in Europe into a high-performance insulation material using a simple mattress sewing machine from China. Fossil, linear economy hates this trick.

obsessed with the font on IKEA's clam chowder packaging. this is what's in the freezer on the Nostromo

it’s never a great sign for your society when all the competent people who believe in doing a good job for the sake of it conclude that they’re actively being punished for these qualities, while malignantly stupid criminals are making bank

(1/3) The IMF finds “China is backing strategic businesses, like green tech, while the west props up old sectors with political clout, like agriculture.” In the West, capital disciplines the state to prop up high profits in old industries.

The real issue on Ceuta is the lack of solidarity with a Member State under external attack for reasons of internal politics and political exploitation. Italy, Denmark, Finland, but also the von der Leyen Commission. Meanwhile, more than half have already returned to Morocco.

NYT reporters Jason Horowitz and Carlos Barragán are in Ceuta and have spoken to several Moroccans who say they were encouraged to cross by Moroccan authorities www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07...

Sobre Ceuta, algunos puntos que se están haciendo cada vez más evidentes con el paso de las horas: Lo primero, esto parece claramente una operación de desestabilización política y un ataque a la soberanía española por parte de Marruecos. ¿Por qué se puede detectar? :
