Cuando la mayoría se arroga el poder de decidir el significado de las palabras, avanzamos por la pendiente populista. Siguiente etapa: ¿para qué tendremos una Constitución, si EL PUEBLO decide?
Y el señor Simancas, nuestro Humpty Dumpty: "Una palabra significa lo que quiero que signifique, nada más y nada menos."

RT by @lugaricano: Os parecerá normal que 2 grupos parlamentarios viajen para reunirse en Suiza, con un mediador extranjero que trata conflictos armados, en vez de usar una puñetera sala de reuniones del Congreso.
Pero no lo es.

RT by @lugaricano: Que dice Bolaños que cómo es que la sociedad civil se permite organizarse para hacer frente por medios democráticos al abuso de poder.
Y este tipo es el ministro de Justicia.

Enorme enhorabuena a la fundación

por su infatigable lucha por que no seamos una república bolivariana. El reconocimiento de que "jurista de reconocido prestigio" no quiere decir "amiguete del Presidente" puede ser el principio de algo importante.

RT by @lugaricano: Labour has been deeply proud of UK leadership on military aid to Ukraine, and I want to say the same in six months time.
But there are real fears that UK leadership on Ukraine is flagging.
We must not step back. Britain must stand with Ukraine as long as it takes to win.

RT by @lugaricano: My quick chart of what America's Ukraine fatigue looks like in dollar terms: US PDA announcements, $ million per quarter. (NB I have extrapolated a figure for "December" as the average of October and November. It may well be lower if there is no supplemental)

Scary prospect: Wilders success shows that Putin may succeed by simply waiting for Europe to tire.
Come on Europe!!!
This fight is existential! Don't give up!

"Turkey’s exports to Russia of goods vital for Moscow’s war machine have soared this year, heightening concerns among the US and its allies that the country is acting as a conduit for sensitive items from their own manufacturers." https://www.ft.com/content/1cef6628-32eb-49c9-a7f1-2aef9bce4239

Escribo hoy que los españoles no debemos esperar de Europa que nos salve de la polarización y deterioro institucional creados por la amnistía: no tiene las herramientas para ello.
Eso sí, Europa será un freno que evite lo peor del populismo económico.

RT by @lugaricano: I'd like to respectfully point out that the logic in this argument is based on a flawed model for how scientists think. Scientists don't just take a weighted average of others' opinions to form their own.
A good scientist takes as input lots of data, including others' opinions, and then ultimately has to reason, build their own internal model of the world, and draw their conclusions from that model.
I give your opinion a lot of weight. And, after having heard many opinions including yours, my internal model tells me that there is essentially no risk of AI human extinction.
So I don't follow the logic that because @ylecun or anyone else disagrees with you (and other AI extinctionists, which IMO are in the minority) that they gave your opinion very little weight, unless we think scientists arrive at conclusions by taking a weighted average of what everyone else thinks.
Since you've gone against the grain many times in your own career -- often brilliantly so -- I assume you're also familiar with what it feels like to give someone's opinion weight, but then ultimately to draw a different conclusion!

Incredible we don't have the fiscal space at EU or national level to support Ukraine, a country fighting a real war today for democracy and freedom, but have billions for subsidies for fossil fuels.
Geopolitical EU? My answer is unprintable.

RT by @lugaricano: Imagine EU will default to keeping Ukraine afloat via 2023 MFA on a monthly basis until March. And try to agree a medium term framework beyond then, once there's more clarity over fiscal mess in Berlin & what it means for broader MFF top up

RT by @lugaricano: 21) the WHO has made an official request to China for more data on the unknown pneumonia outbreak. But while their post is vague, the WHO summary is clearly worried to make their demand to China 🇨🇳 public. It suggest the situation of my thread 🧵 above is very real…

RT by @lugaricano: 🤞 this isn’t serious. The hope was that we would get to the end of covid feeling better about handling these situations. But the extreme opacity in China and lack of any open investigation into how covid happened is only going to make the world less confident
