Some cities had Halloween; we had SantiagLOWEEN last night: vampires, witches, petro-chic tycoons, marigold-haloed Catrinas & one hard-rock warlock turned the patio into a coven mosh pit; jack-o'-lanterns demanded encores. Trick-or-riff achieved! 🎃🧛♀️🧙♀️🤘 #Halloween2025

Preliminary notes in High-Altitude Urban Economics: ascend Sky Costanera, see Santiago de Chile like a board game, achieve brief enlightenment (peer review pending), and begin inventing urban policy. For the record: not just for fearless 7-year-old girls—or their moms—I got in 😅

A passing remark, with a nod to dark-humor gravitas: a few allegedly “serious” outfits underwrite peak performative idiocy, never gaudier than during Econ Nobel week (and yes, I assume the de-growthers booked the wake). 🎭🤡📣🍿⚰️

Santiago offers viewpoints by the dozen; assemble a quorum of aficionados and up we go, boots laced, spirits high. With lookouts in surplus, the market clears at sunrise on Sundays; this round, the Econs (with some business-school cousins in tow) set alarms before the city stirs.

Acabamos de ver NUBE de Jose Vidal en el Teatro Municipal de Las Condes: nos encantó a todos, pero nuestra hija de 7 años (que hace danza moderna) quedó completamente cautivada. Pura poesía en movimiento! www.tmlascondes.cl/n...

De la subida por Parque Mahuida, entre bosque verde y montaña, a la bajada hacia Caleta La Reina para un almuerzo simple-perfecto de mariscos (¡con música chilena en vivo!): del mapudungún al chileno, hasta este gringo cacha el ritmo, po. #SantiagoDeChile

Saga OrangeFR, ép. 2 (épilogue ?) — Réveil in extremis : la Direction Orange - Relation Clients corrige le tir.
Remboursement acté, excuses, Médiateur évité. Preuve qu’avec un peu de droit, beaucoup de méthode et une pincée d’ironie, on peut encore débrancher l’absurde. QED

Orange France : anatomie d’un naufrage, ép. 1 :
Quand une procédure interne percute le droit, c’est la procédure qui cède. Quand une entreprise confond « client » et « suspect », elle paie — min 77,74 €, mieux en crédibilité. Ils ont oublié un détail : they’re trying to fuck with me. Mauvaise idée.

Dalla mia cantina, il Barbaresco Rabajà 2012 di Bruno Rocca ha brillato come rubino liquido: apoteosi del Nebbiolo. Ha atteso paziente nel buio fresco. Rosa canina, ciliegia e tartufo d’Alba; tannini setosi, finale infinito. Un sorso che parla la lingua delle colline langarole.🍇

Mi hija tuvo hoy su primera clase de ukelele. Ya está lista pa’ dar conciertos, firmar autógrafos y grabar su disco debut. Le faltan acordes, pero le sobra perso. El mundo no está preparado… y capaz que mis oídos tampoco, pero fijo me deja pa’ dentro en cualquier momento! 🎶😅🤯

Kiddo’s first day at school in Santiago—skipping right into Segundo Básico’s second semester—was unforgettable: she poured energy & enthusiasm into a vibrant “Hola” drawing for her classmates and teacher, only to find they’d all made their own “Bienvenue” art for her! ¡Qué bacán!

Burduja deplânge „baletul politic” după ce-a luat sub 8%. Caz clasic de disonanță cognitivă cu nuanțe Dunning–Kruger: plié pe orgoliu, piruetă pe ipocrizie, iar la final turcoaz... pe el. Publicul? Sătul. Aplauze? Doar de la oglinzi.
Doar eufemisme, desigur.
Chapeau, ALP! panorama.ro/panorama-alp...

„Scuzați-mi franchețea, dar trebuie să scoatem bățul din fund”, zise un zâmbăreț oficial. Între timp, bățul și-a dat demisia, recunoscând candid că a dat șpagă pentru dreptul de a supraviețui în selfie-ul din avionul de stat: decor obligatoriu în poza puterii. Panem et circenses!

Ozzy screamed what we couldn’t: rage, grief, salvation. Two weeks ago I said Black Sabbath had healed our minds: x.com/sbuhai/status/...
Today, the mind behind the madness is gone. The Prince of Darkness chose his exit. The flesh is gone. The howl remains. The riff burns eternal.

Franco Biondi‑Santi knew only pure Sangiovese can unlock Brunello di Montalcino’s soul. His 2007 is sublime perfection—dried cherry, rose, tobacco, and earthy depth in pure harmony. I declined a small fortune for this gem ensconced in my cellar: had to pour, savor, and revere it!

Velvet night in a crystal chalice: bought en primeur and held until its ripe moment, my 2012 Ch. La Conseillante awoke with deep plum and truffle sighs. Graphite whispers and violet echoes unfurled over an hour of decanting: Pomerol PERFECTION, time pouring memory into each drop!
