He recently released a book titled the ‘Manual for living together.’

The first 18(!) pages of El País dedicated to Trump, Maduro and Venezuela today.
The Spanish media can’t get enough of Trump on a quiet day - so with 200,000 Venezuelans living in the Madrid region alone, you can imagine how big this Maduro story is.

India will undertake its first census in 16 years in 2026.
It will require 3.5 million workers to count about 1.45 billion people!

That comparison to Ange Postecoglou is on point!
On Rosalía, her music is not really my style but I must acknowledge she is a genius. I saw her perform live in 2023 (she played at a music festival I went to) and judging on that experience I think her new tour will be insanely good.
