Argentine politicians aspiring to become our next President seem to be practicing “polyamory”. Those who used to hate each other and said it openly, have now become best friends. These forced or arranged “marriages” are so hard to believe, though. Only yesterday they behaved like Montagues and Capulets; now, they Seguir leyendo
Marina Simian, a scientist from Argentina’s CONICET research body, has won 500.000 pesos on the local version of “Who wants to be a millionaire?” So far, this piece of news shouldn’t call our attention. What really struck us all is what she intends to do with the prize. She will Seguir leyendo

Manu Ginobili’s tweet. a couple of days ago. Seguir leyendo
