gotta say i still love those mid-90s real madrid teams, and raúl will forever be my favorite player. i remember watching him debut at 17, away at zaragoza.
the spanish were extremely critical of luis enrique's tenure as spain manager. but he deserves a ton of credit for putting together the team that just won the european cup and world cup. here's the linup the final game he coached, which spain lost in PKs to morocco in the round of 16 in 2022:

so....the guy worried about people using depopulation to suit their agenda of nationalism, inequality, exclusion and control took a $10 million dollar donation from elon musk to fund his center on population studies? cool cool cool
basically every new york times panel of trump voters is this:
people like tucker carlson know how to play the media game and the ny times is happy to be played
this paragraph from "the work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction" about film destroying the ability of the spectator to reflect on what they are seeing really hits different when you become a parent and see how children react to television
this is honestly a fascinating map, just because of the variety of colonial experiences across the americas (canada versus US versus mexico versus jamaica, etc.) and yet they all ended up with the same citizenship system!
