Continuing our pre-holidays series, @vanghel.bsky.social is hibernating with her partner in Oxford, firmly insisting that doomscrolling the news and rewiewing debut books for the 2026 Council for European Studies Award is absolutely not work and that she is, in fact, on a proper Christmas break 🎄

📅 Just a few more days until the holidays! Martin Bæk Carstensen shares his plans and end-of-year reflections:
This year, I’ll celebrate Christmas with my family at my brother’s place. With six kids aged 2 to 14, the (sugar-induced) energy level will be high, and the quiet afterwards well-earned.

🐈 The tree is up, marking the final few weeks of the year. We have recently got a new, much younger, and more active cat, and so we suspect it won’t be the only time we have to put the tree up (the older one is fine, just past her tree-climbing days) 🧵

Great data. I noticed in my data collection on the Council of the EU that the number of legislative act it passes per year keeps falling each legislative period since at least 2009. But this data implies that the regulations & directives individually get deeper.
The EU 🇪🇺 now adopts fewer legal acts per year, but the regulatory load inside them keeps growing 📈
A new @jeppjournal.bsky.social article by Brandsma et al. measures regulation by counting actual regulatory statements (“Companies shall…”).
I plotted their data: fewer acts, more obligations.
