One thing that is immediately apparent when watching “the wire” is that is definitely from a time when it was assumed the viewer was actively watching TV.

It's notable that when Belarus/Russia did this to Poland, other EU countries didn't respond by blaming Poland. They blamed Belarus/Russia. No mystery why Europe's governing conservatives are blaming the EU's only leftist prime minister.

30% of SpaceX shares (so far floated) have been borrowed to short sell? Wow! Guess the stock of tradable shares doubles (?) next month, and flow of stock looking for a home set to ramp up over next 12mths. www.ft.com/content/2b96...

“About 30 per cent of the roughly 640mn SpaceX shares available to trade have been borrowed to sell short, up 10 percentage points over the past 10 days, highlighting how traders are becoming increasingly sceptical of the company's market prospects.”

Sánchez is, rightly, not seen as supporting Andalucía-the PSOE's effing heartland. Exactly how much resentment can anyone hold against Susana Diaz loyalists?

Charles Butler Mackay @ibexsalad.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Let's try it again without the giant typo. I meant to write anti-Sánchez and anti-Montero sentiment. A world of difference. Sorry.

Charles Butler Mackay @ibexsalad.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Pardon the intrusion, but it's more anti-Sánchez AND anti-Moreno sentiment within potential PSOE voters that drives this result. (Imo)

Charles Butler Mackay @ibexsalad.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Biggest challenge for the PSOE is to win the Jaén (my province) provincial 'diputación'. Why tf Sánchez picked MJ Montero to do that job is beyond comprehension. She is loathed here, proving that, with a right that can't sort itself out the left can take the country even without it's stronghold.
