This is the same guy.

As Fascism Takes Hold in the U.S., How Will — and Should — the TV Landscape Depict Our Real-Life Horrors? In his Awards Circuit column, Michael Schneider looks at the U.S.' descent into fascism, and asks how the TV landscape should depict the horrors.

Interesting read. Has the glorification of anti-heroes in pop culture (especially TV) contributed to the current era of winner-take-all mentality? variety.com/2025/tv/awar...

More people are coming to the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral to pay their respects. A mass ceremony is underway.

One woman was handing these out. “For those who were proud of having an Argentine pope”.

Many people in Buenos Aires are showing up at the city’s National Cathedral to pay their respects to Pope Francis and leave farewell messages.

Pope Francis died at 88, the Vatican announced Monday, ending a pontificate that sought to reshape the Roman Catholic Church into a more inclusive institution. Cardinals will now decide whether to continue his approach or restore more doctrinaire leadership.

Hahaha sad!

Un británico se muda a España e inmediatamente se arrepiente de la jugada: lo que le molesta de los españoles La burocracia o el idioma fueron algunas de las barreras a las que se enfrentó este hombre.

Otro artículo sobre extranjero que se muda a España y que se arrepiente, entre otras cosas, porque es difícil contar chistes en un idioma que no es el suyo.

No es coña.

This is like me moving to North Korea and complaining that there's no Starbucks.

She relocated to Spain in 2022, but after struggling to adapt, this American woman has packed up and returned home | CNN After vacationing in Spain a few times, Cristina Martinez, from the US, felt enamoured with the European country and was eager to return – for good. She left Miami for Spain in 2022, but decided to re...

I don't get the point of these articles. The only thing this does is show a person who failed to do research about where she was moving to. You don't like seafood, siestas and the cold weather? Jesus, just don't move to Santander.

So far Spain seems to be a secondary priority to the US govt (which probably explains why Elon still hasn’t come out to explicitly support Vox). But that doesn’t mean that the European far-right isn’t trying to find a place here, as evidenced by the Patriots summit happening in Madrid soon.

🧐 This Week in Spain: The Far-Right is Coming (to Town) Also: Barcelona officially quits X (sorta), Ryanair is mad at the government and Benidorm Fest stuff.

A new issue of The Tapa Newsletter is out. This week, @ianmount.com and I go over what we can expect from the bilateral relationship between Moncloa and the Trump White House, and the MEGA (Make Europe Great Again) movement. www.thebubble.com/p/this-week-...

This headline 💀

"The Chinese embassy in Madrid did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment, nor did the Spanish government." - Reuters.

Chinese online influence operation called for overthrow of Spain's government, Graphika report says A Chinese social media operation that aims to whip up political anger in the West has called for the overthrow of a foreign government when impersonating protesters criticising flood relief efforts in Spain, online analysis outfit Graphika said.

Huh. Graphika says that the Chinese online influence operation impersonated protesters on social media that directly called for the overthrow of the Spanish government after the Valencia storm that left over 200 dead last year.

🇺🇸 This Week in Spain: Spain Meets Trump 2.0 Also Errejón reappears in court and Sánchez wants to "make social media great again".

A new issue of The Tapa Newsletter is out. This week it's all about Trump and PM Sánchez's goal of "making social media great again". @ianmount.com #Spain www.thebubble.com/p/this-week-...

I have no idea what this is but I know it’s not Until Dawn.

After Last of Us I thought we had finally learned how to do video game adaptations. Guess I was wrong.

🏠 This Week in Spain: 'Xenophobic' Housing Reform Also: more dumb religion-related controversies and a Spanish eagle handler gets fired.

The British tabloids call it a "xenophobic" housing reform. But is it? And more importantly, will it solve Spain's housing crisis?

No worries. We try to cover as much as we can. Hopefully we can cover more in the near future.

Hi Charles, we covered it last month after The Economist said Spain was the best-performing economy in the world (and we mentioned the good and the bad).

🥊 This Week in Spain: Sánchez Goes After Musk Also: The first dumb scandal of the year and a lavish royal birthday party.

It was going to happen eventually: PM Pedro Sánchez finally hits at Elon Musk. @ianmount.com and I cover this and other stuff on The Tapa Newsletter.
