🆕💼 Today marks a new chapter: I'm starting as a Researcher at @moreincommonuk.bsky.social in Spain!

After 4 years working on my PhD, it was time for the next step. Grateful to my supervisors and colleagues, I learned so much and will miss working alongside them.

Buenos días,
Creo que se ha confundido de "handle" de bluesky. Aunque tenemos el mismo nombre, yo no soy el portavoz de Podemos. Un saludo cordial

Hoy traemos un post de rabiosa actualidad. @lluisorriols.bsky.social hace una radiografía del trasvase de un millón de votos que se estaría produciendo entre el Partido Popular y VOX.

It’s totally bonkers that POTUS openly threatens to terminate signed government contracts with a private firm because he doesn’t like what its CEO said about him. Banaba Republic.

Spanje heeft het meeste uren gratis stroom en ook gemiddeld de laagste stroomprijs.
Voor de rest ontlopen de West-Europese landen elkaar nauwelijks, ondanks flinke verschillen in de nationale power mix.
