Monday morning open thread

I'm back from Barcelona. Got in last night. It was a quick trip, unfortunately - my God what a gorgeous city - but it was an incredibly worthwhile experience. I got to meet so many interesting political Internet activists and consultants and just overall experts from around the EU, and even a few from the states. I'm jet lagging massively as I write this, but will write more about who I met and things I learned, and just the overall experience, over the day. And share a few more photos (though I didn't get that many - most of the trip was spent at the conference site). The photo above is of the Sagrada Familia church, and the surrounding grounds. A truly spectacular building. It's been under construction since 1883. Seriously. 1883. It's scheduled to be completed in 2026. Talk about taking a long view of history.
