At this point, I believe that if Apple released a piece of garbage on a stick, several million people would line up to buy it. (translated)

This is interesting because, when Pedro Zaragoza's journey —whether true or not— Benidorm was literally on the verge of disappearing: it had closed the last fish traps of the town precisely because the sewage contaminated that part of the Mediterranean to the point of almost leaving it. (translated)

Tim Curry has died. I'm sure the trip to your planet will be just as fun as the one you took here, old friend. (translated)

Y, moreover, Argentina is the only country in the world where a civil court judged —and condemned— the dictators who had been in power. Without a war or a revolution in between, by pure force of civilization. When those dictators were free. And although later the (translated)

The Cobra says that soccer is the only thing in which Argentines can excel. Well, Argentina is the country of Cortázar, of Borges, of Pizarnik, of Mariana Enríquez and Samanta Schweblin, of Clorindo Testa and Amancio Williams, of Adolfo Aristarain and Juan José Campanella, it is (translated)

I am fascinated by the number of people who, even after yesterday's match, continue to say that Spain is a mediocre team, that they have nothing, that they are boring, that France choked... I attribute it to the TikTok generation, to the hyper-spectacularization of football. In other words, (translated)

What happened? Well, that type of game can be somewhat beneficial if the draw is a good result for you, but if you have to go out to win, they end up erasing you from the field. As happened to France today. (translated)

Hola, David. Esa tribuna es de 2010, cuando España —no Francia— ganó el Mundial, y al decir que "Africa ganó el Mundial" se refiere a que el continente ganó porque el torneo se celebró en Sudáfrica. Está perfectamente claro en el texto que incluyes, ya que está en inglés, que es un idioma que, aparentemente, deberías dominar. Otra cosa es que hayas decidido mentir abiertamente en público y a la vista de todos, pero eso no es de ser muy buen periodista. #Mundial2010 #Fútbol #Sudáfrica

Yes. And I add that we also live a bit in Fahrenheit 451. (And don’t make me put the monologue of Captain Beatty back again). (translated)

The worst thing about the World Cup, by far, is that under every somewhat viral post about the World Cup, there is an advertisement for a betting house. IN EVERY POST. And it happens here, it happens on IG, it happens on FB, and it happens on TikTok. And we have normalized it in a way that is even scary. (translated)

Beneath Toronto, there is ANOTHER Toronto. An underground city of 32 km that allows you to do anything without going out into the sunlight. But why does it exist? Why was it built? (translated)

A story about soccer, but not about the sport, rather about how soccer can change a territory forever. (translated)

Ten generations ago, xenophobia left an ethnicity without land and forced them to live in the water. Two hundred years later, their great-great-grandchildren built the most beautiful football field in the world (thanks to Maradona). This is the story: Football reaches the whole world. To everyone. (translated)

I have news that I have been wanting to share for a while: "Catedral de Escombros" will be translated into English and published in the United States. It will be done by Graywolf Press, one of the most prestigious indie publishers in the USA. It is, among other things, the home of Percival Everett, and being there is a... (translated)

Siendo sinceros, esto mismo lo hacen unos cuantos cronistas deportivos, solo que le meten más palabras. #Deporte #Cronistas #Sinceridad

The work of Antoni Gaudí is known mainly for its formidable exterior image: curves, mosaics, voluptuous shapes that defined Modernisme. But what if I told you that the most important thing is actually in what is not visible? This is the story: Gaudí repeatedly said that he was (translated)

El éxito de canciones basura generadas por IA es perfectamente lógico porque hace mucho que la mayor parte de las canciones de éxito son basura, también las generadas por personas reales. #ÉxitoMusical #CancionesBasura #InteligenciaArtificial

And another day we will talk about the journalistic ethics of publishing a "biography" of a deceased person, with children, with siblings, with family, three years after their death and without the possibility for that person to have their right to reply. (translated)

A friend from @MuseuNac_Cat just whispered an amazing piece of news to me, which if confirmed could be the artistic news... (translated)

Today we do not remember any fatalities due to #terrorism in Spain. Every injured person is a frustrated attempt at murder. Much… (translated)
