Good to see @europarl.europa.eu refer to principle of solidarity in its resolution on Hungary calling for triggering of Art. 7(2) TEU. With @dimitrispieker.bsky.social and Ulrich Karpenstein, we argued that new Art. 7 procedure should be initiated against HU based on breaches of solidarity in CFSP

new paper by Sean Westwood:

With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

Today we commemorate Georges Friedmann, who died on this day in 1977. A French sociologist and philosopher, Friedmann was among the first to study technology as a social and philosophical problem in the 20th century.

'Emergency Europe' and the Question of Intertemporal Conflict Management in Constitutional Governance (Leone Niglia (ed), Europe's New Frontiers: Law, Crisis, Governance, Constitutional Transformations, Volume 1 (Bloomsbury forthcoming)) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: In this paper, I aim to contribute to the literature on the emergency constitution by taking up the question of time in constitutional governance through an examination of the European Union's (EU) emergency-driven constitution-reshaping starting from the Eurozone crisis.

I love London so much. So much.

Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world?

Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.
In London, hate will never win.
