Spain invested heavily in clean energy over the last 6 years. Now, as gas prices rise, Spain has some of the lowest electricity costs on the continent.

In August 2025, Spain used zero coal — just 10 years ago it powered 25% of the country.

This is what energy independence actually looks like. 🌎

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

The Sims Creator’s Audacious Quest to Turn His (and Your) Mind Into a Video Game Since 2015, Will Wright, the creator of The Sims and SimCity, has been consumed by an audacious quest: to build a video game set inside the player’s own mind and memories. It’s called Proxi, and it’s nowhere close to finished.

Always happy to talk to folks about the political power of memes & memes as pedagogical classroom tools; the value of philosophy in polycrisis times; the Belgian-Flemish far-right; women's & gender studies as academic discipline.
