«Lo que más me llama la atención cuando entro en una juguetería es el exceso: demasiados colores, demasiados tipos de juguetes y demasiadas versiones de la misma idea. Vivimos en una sociedad de abundancia y eso también afecta a la infancia.»

They’re treating the production of this Club World Cup Final so weirdly. Doing boxing style announcements. Player intros. Endless club music. Pre-game performances. Like mixing NFL, NBA, and boxing because they don’t think Americans can handle sitting down and watching a game.

Appreciated this moment
My first walking story for 2025 is about the subversive fun of walking the border of a wealthy “village” within an urban area. Recruit a few friends and give it a try this winter, when the ruling class are away at their chalets and bungalows.
