Activist NGOs are like an eternal toddler in the terrible twos. All they know is to say ‘NO’ and get tantrums when asked to give viable solutions.

Living with the yup’ik Eskimos, they talked quite matter of factly about spirits, little people, etc. They spend most of the time outdoors. Today, while ploughing a certain field I felt very strongly a very distinctive presence. It happened same 2 years ago. Really weird.

One thing about farming many people don’t get is: activity is really restricted by weather. I had 2 weeks to finalise pruning, chopping the wood, crushing the branches, ploughing, always with the threat of rain. That means working 5 am to 10pm, non stop, eating on the tractor

One thing I really hate about coming to Madrid is graffitis. I find them disgusting. 50km around Madrid is covered by mindless, chaotic tagging. It gives a sense of decay and they are ubiquitous. I’d like to know how the Dutch have been able to largely avoid this pest.

I’ve lived in two places in the Netherlands, major city. Kids 3+ play in the streets and go to shops unsupervised. Just like the most natural thing. I think that points at a successful society.

The problem with evil isn't just evil. It's the bystander. #Gaza

Tattoo removal companies will be big business in USA and latam. A Colombian acquaintance legally in the USA is seeking advice from me on how to obtain Spanish passport and move to Spain. He is afraid his tattoos will make him end in a Salvadorean jail.

The most moral army in the world A lot of folks I know in the USA -mostly liberal!!- just keep saying ‘return the hostages’. So sickening. elpais.com/internacional/…

Qu’est-ce qu’on fait de concret pour mettre un terme à ce scandale?

My sister who works at every company offered the better explanation so far. There was excess solar production which couldn’t be absorbed by system, led to very fast increase in frequency and France shut connection, causing Spanish grid to collapse.

Spain brand severely damaged today. I have been victim of the solar mafia taking away my land with no recourse. 200 year old olive trees expropriated because I asked the developer to move the perimeter three meters. Like it or not, we are the land of Mortadelo y Filemón.

Spanish president (the same crook that takes photos of himself with Xi Jinping, dividing Europe’s position) says it’s not a cyberattack, and ‘it’s not the renewables’. An independent investigation to follow. Like in the Valencia floods, we will never know. What a joke

Italians are among the best marketers I’ve known. Spain produces 7 times more olive oil than Italy, and overall quality is better (Italians import our bad oil to blend and resell as Italian). In the USA the Italian diaspora has massive influence.

Trump: “Netanyahu is there greatest man in the world.” State Dept spokesman: “Israel is the greatest country in the world.” Multiple GOP politicians: “The IDF is the most moral army in the world.” Cruz: “I ran for Senate to be Israel’s greatest defender.” FBI Director: “We will

This blue-cheese brain Secretary Marco Rubio just made Francesca a hero, perhaps even something equivalent to a martyr. #Antifragile

A Zionist will flat out tell you that every humanitarian organization, journalist, doctor, priest, the UN, the ICC, sovereign countries like Ireland, are all lying because they have something against Jews, and we’re just supposed to treat that as if it’s not ridiculous.

This is perhaps the most heartbreaking story of all x.com/abierkhatib/st…

Four things are key to Spaniards' low productivity: 1. Too much talk-> lose attention -> make mistakes 2. Really bad listening skills 3. Assume rather than seek to clarify 4. There's not even a word for 'accountability' All compound lead to huge inefficiencies
