Twice now, I've suffered a pile on attack out of nowhere here on Bluesky - both conversing with Americans in a courteous manner about cultural differences regarding food and eating habits and both steered by female journalists with 100k+ followings... That's some major food hang up.

Cash, emergency food and wind-up radios: How to survive a power outage
Citizens across Europe have been getting advice about emergency planning, which may feel more urgent after blackout on Iberian peninsula If the lights went out in your home or office, on your train home, or in your local supermarket – would you know what to do? That question became more urgent this week, after almost the entire Iberian peninsula suffered a mass electricity blackout, leaving tens of millions across Spain and Portugal without power. As a result of the two countries’ outage on Monday, millions were left unable to get home from work, take out cash, buy food or in some cases escape lifts that were stuck between floors.

El PP y Vox, de derechas en España, ahora afirman que el incidente eléctrico de ayer se debe a la excesiva dependencia de las energías renovables y que nunca habría ocurrido si España dependiera más de la tecnología nuclear. Porque, como saben, nunca ha habido desastres en centrales nucleares...🙄🤷🏾‍♀️

@robertharrishome.bsky.social You should be peddling The Second Sleep like no one's business - especially if you have a Spanish edition... There was a moment yesterday, sitting in my house with no power and no comms or cash, when your predictions were nearer the truth than ever before 😱😱😱

El PP tiene cierta cara al ir a por Sánchez por cómo el Estado federal manejó una emergencia nacional con calma dentro de 24 horas; un poco exagerado cuando la debacle por respuestas por parte de PP en Valencia todavía continúa sin solucionarse 🙄 www.elconfidencial.com/espana/2025-...

So glad I live in Spain today. Everyone in the most part kept calm. Everyone in the most part came together. Everyone in the most part took it in their stride, kept smiling and just kept on going. And the public services did a fantastic job under very difficult circumstances.

Notes from Spain: Seriously! Make sure you have cash at home. Candles, batteries, lamps, matches. A radio or a radio in your car. Chargers in your car. Fuel tanks topped up. Dry goods. The mobile phone networks lasted about 2.5 hrs before complete shut down and cut off from outside world.

"I noticed that most members seemed more interested in companionship than political debate." Fascinating, incredibly brave reporting by @harryshukman.bsky.social, who spent a year infiltrating far-right groups. Vital to understand their motivations. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ap...

There was a time when people were courteous to others because of the shame and fear of upsetting others in public. But that society is now broken, it doesn't give a fuck who it upsets as the state stopped people from being able to defend themselves. Hence the state now needs to put rules in place.

Seriously, politics should be boring in the main. It should be something that plods along in the background while working people pay their taxes, recompensed with easier lives, lived in good faith that the people they vote to pay, work everything out equitably. This shitshow is not it.
