No soy muy futbolera. Como platense, simpatizo con Estudiantes de La Plata, y me alegró el golazo de Rojo, obviamente. Pero más allá de todo, sentí algo muy claramente al percibir el tan necesario desborde de alegría colectivo, en casas, oficinas, calles y plazas. Cuando el adversario (o enemigo) es Seguir leyendo
When I saw the images and heard those kids crying, I naively thought it was the preview of a movie, a horror movie. I’ve always considered Trump a dangerous individual, clownish at times, always bossy and boasting of an Ego as big as his country. But this family splitting immigration Seguir leyendo
Robert de Niro received a standing ovation at the Tony Awards in New York last Sunday, when he stepped on stage and stated briefly: “I’m gonna say one thing: Fuck Trump. It’s no longer ‘Down with Trump’. It’s Fuck Trump”. The audience seemed to agree wholeheartedly. How did Trump react: Seguir leyendo
Los adultos solemos descalificar a los jóvenes. Que nada los motiva ni los entusiasma, que son apáticos, abúlicos, que viven en sus burbujas electrónicas, que les falta pasión y vocación, que carecen de valores, que no se esfuerzan, que quieren todo fácil y YA, que bla, bla, bla. Y resulta Seguir leyendo
Paraphrasing Prince Hamlet, something has historically smelt rotten in the Argentine Football Association (AFA). Suddenly, the friendly match between Israel and Argentina in Jerusalem has been cancelled. Why, you may ask: threats and provocations against Lionel Messi, they say. Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia, AFA’s President, in a Mahatma Gandhian style, said Seguir leyendo
Lo sabíamos. Era una fija. Ni bien empezamos a ver “Un gallo para Esculapio” el año pasado, supimos que iba a arrasar con todos los premios. ¿Por qué? Simple. Por un cocktail explosivo: excelente guión, un elenco impecable, una dirección de actores soberbia, una producción de lujo. Todos los rubros Seguir leyendo
What?! Marcelo Tinelli for President?! Well, come to think of it, we’ve had a freaky presidential parade so far in the last few decades: a playboy born in La Rioja, a flying-fleeing “radical” (in Spanish), a Southern Penguin juggling with his baton; a megalomaniac Egyptian female architect, and now, a Seguir leyendo
I’ve always wondered why we are so attracted to royal weddings. It’s a strange kind of voyeurism most of us practice, although we might not confess it openly. We all feel invited to the ceremony. Everyone becomes an expert on hats, tuxedos, gowns, bowties, hairdos, make-up; on what to wear, how Seguir leyendo
“Make sure you’re clean, smell good and dress well. Russian women don’t like to be seen as objects. The advice is to treat the woman in front of you as if she were someone of value” It’s not a joke, although it sounds like one. These “pieces of advice” are Seguir leyendo
I like comparing our country to a household. The people who live in the same house –parents, children, maybe grandparents, an uncle or an aunt- don’t always see things eye to eye. They don’t agree all the time on all matters. Nevertheless, whenever there’s some sort of danger, call it Seguir leyendo
