Fed up by now…

Whatever the result of the October presidential elections is, whoever  wins, I do hope everything’s over as soon as possible, so that we can leave this sort of limbo, this endless period of waiting, this nowhere land we’re all living in, with candidates promising things and the government taking last minute, Seguir leyendo

The rest is silence…

I was literally struck by her short but powerful speech. Let me quote 16-year- old Greta Thunberg’s warning to world leaders (and to all of us), at the UN climate summit: “My message is: we’ll be watching you”. (the audience chuckled and clapped). “This is all wrong. I shouldn’t be Seguir leyendo

There’s so much to learn from these players, their discipline, their commitment, their passion. We should listen to star Luis Scola’s advice and apply it to our everyday life. There’s no magic here, he says.  Simply Seguir leyendo

Reina el caos

Después de las PASO, reina el caos en nuestro vapuleado país. Esa es mi sensación. Violencia, agresión, enfrentamientos, intolerancia, incapacidad de diálogo, de intentar acuerdos.

Stop the world!!!

Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro said he will only accept $20 million anti-fire funds from the G7 if Macron withdraws «insults.”  He’s not talking about his back yard, mind you, but about an unheard of environmental catastrophe that will affect the whole planet.

The Chosen One?

Is it a joke? Does Donald Trump really want to buy Greenland from Denmark? Who does he think he is? The answer is clear. “I am the chosen one”, he stated in an interview with White House reporters.  A song comes to mind: “Megalomaniac”.  “Hey megalomaniac/You’re no Jesus/Yeah, you’re no fucking Elvis/Special, Seguir leyendo
