February 2026 was undoubtedly one of those months where sports enthusiasts had plenty to choose from. Virtually every day there was something important happening around the world, from winter sports in Europe to the Super Bowl spectacle in the United States.
The most attention-grabbing event was clearly the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, which took place from February 6 to 22 in northern Italy. The organization was well distributed among several cities, with Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo as the main hubs, along with other venues like Bormio, Anterselva, and Livigno. What was interesting was seei

I just noticed that Wall Street is recovering quite well this morning after two difficult days. The major indices are advancing strongly, suggesting that investors are better calibrating the geopolitical outlook. The Dow Jones is up 0.35%, reaching 48,669.25 points; the S&P 500 gains 0.57% to 6,855.47; and the Nasdaq soars 1.10% to 22,763.45.
What's interesting is that volatility is normalizing after hitting this year's highs. The VIX index, the fear indicator we all watch, is noticeably down. Some reports mention that there were indirect contacts between Iranian agents and the CIA, which seem

I just reviewed the numbers on how salaries started this year, and honestly, the story isn't as clear-cut as it seems at first glance. Basically, 2025 was a year where formal wages in Argentina regained some purchasing power after the beating they took, but with a rather discouraging end that conditions everything to come.
The concrete numbers: wages in the registered private sector grew 4.8% in real terms during 2025, while in the public sector it was 3.8%. Sounds good, right? The issue is that this is compared to 2024, which was a particularly bad year. Looking back to 2023, public employees

I recently checked the lunar calendar and was surprised to see that on March 5th, the moon was in a very interesting phase. It turns out that on that day, it was 16 days into its cycle and displayed that waning gibbous phase that almost everyone recognizes, with about 95% illuminated. That is, the moon was practically full but already beginning to wane.
The interesting thing is that which moon we observe on those dates depends a lot on where you are in Mexico. From most parts of the country, the lunar disk appeared almost full in the night sky, in that stage right after the full moon and befor

There is something fascinating about Morrissey that I have always found impossible to ignore. The guy is 65 years old, still a mythic figure in rock, and yet every move he makes sparks controversy or anticipation. He just released Make-Up Is a Lie, an album that is honestly quite mediocre, full of naive nostalgia and conspiracy ideas floating around the internet. A record that sounds like totally uninspired boomer rock. But here’s the interesting part: Morrissey releasing a bad album shouldn’t matter to us. No one expected him to come out with another Viva Hate, another Vauxhall and I, or a Yo

It's no longer a surprise to drive around CDMX and come across those potholes that leave your car a mess. What did surprise me was learning how much money the government has spent on compensation. Turns out, in just over five years, they paid more than 33 million pesos to nearly 3,700 drivers for damages caused by potholes in the roads. Basically, flat tires, bent rims, damaged suspension... the usual.
The interesting part is that there are two ways to file a complaint. One is going to the Civic Court with an expert report and going through the formal process, which most drivers with out-of-st

I just discovered that in just 6.8 km² there are stories for a Netflix series. Gibraltar is that: a small patch of land at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula where synagogues, Catholic churches, Anglican cathedrals, mosques, and Hindu temples coexist peacefully. Two languages, wild monkeys in freedom, and an atmosphere that makes you feel in London and Andalusia simultaneously.
The first thing that surprises you is the architecture. Colonial houses with their red brick facades and guillotine windows spread through the streets as if someone had moved a Victorian neighborhood to the Medit

I just remembered that the free license plate replacement period in Jalisco has recently ended. Turns out, if your plates ended in 4, 5, 6, or 7 and you didn't complete the process before February 28th, now you have to pay the full 2,500 pesos. I almost missed it too, but I managed to schedule my appointment on the tax collector's portal in time.
What surprised me was that most people didn't know they had to bring the old plates in original. Also, it turns out that the Maguey, Minerva, and Gota plates have not been legal for a while. Now only the Collage and Cabañas designs are valid. If you w

Recently, I looked at the night sky in Mexico and noticed something interesting about today's moon. It turns out that on March 5th, the moon was in that phase called waning gibbous, with almost 95% of its surface illuminated. Basically, after the full moon, it begins to gradually decrease, but it still appears almost full in the night sky.
The interesting part is that this phase is perfect if you want to observe with a telescope. Shadows are very pronounced on lunar craters and mountains; everything appears in relief. Much better than when it's full, which looks flat.
The lunar calendar for Ma

A pretty juicy detail just came out about Fried's legal case, and that is that federal prosecutors are questioning the authenticity of a letter he submitted from prison. And it's no minor detail, believe me.
Let's see what happened. Last March, the legal team submitted a letter from the FTX founder to Judge Lewis Kaplan to support his request for a new trial. But the prosecutors raised red flags when they reviewed the document. They found three oddities that don't add up.
First, the tracking of the letter shows it originated in Palo Alto or Menlo Park, California. The problem is that Fried is

I just reviewed how the political battle in Cook County intensified days before the Illinois primaries, and the truth is that the immigration and ICE issue became the hottest point of the debate.
Basically, Toni Preckwinkle, the County Board President, was seeking her fifth term against Brendan Reilly, a councilor for District 42 in downtown Chicago. What’s interesting is that as the March 17 Democratic primaries approached, attacks between the candidates became increasingly direct and personal.
What caught my attention most was how immigration policy management and the relationship with ICE e

I just reviewed Bitcoin's movement over the past few hours, and honestly, this is one of those moments where the crypto market forces you to be honest with yourself. BTC is at $66.35K with nearly a 3% drop in the last 24 hours, and while that may seem small, the interesting part is what's happening beneath the surface.
Today's crypto decline isn't isolated. It comes with serious macro pressure: expectations about interest rates, economic data that spooks risk investors, and those regulatory rumors that always arrive at the worst possible time. But the most important thing is that many are usin

I just found out that the spring equinox in the United States recently passed. It turns out that when it's spring in the United States, March 20th was exactly at 10:46 a.m. (Eastern Time). The interesting thing is that day and night were almost the same length at that moment because the Sun crossed the Earth's equator precisely, and the Earth's axis was neither tilted toward nor away from the Sun. Basically, it's the perfect balance point of the year.
What surprised me is that the equinox doesn't always fall on the same day. It can be between March 19 and 21 depending on the year and calendar

Hey, did you see Mac Allister at Liverpool? The guy was a bit inconsistent at the beginning of the season but lately he's been on another level. This Saturday, he scored an incredible volley in the 5-2 win against West Ham, marking his second consecutive goal in the Premier League. The play was amazing: Hugo Ekitike passes to him from a corner, and Mac Allister finishes first-time with a volley that the goalkeeper didn't even see coming. On top of that, he had already scored against Nottingham Forest the week before, so the kid is really stepping up. With this goal, he now has five goals in al

Wow, the Metro was crazy last Monday. Delays of up to 20 minutes on several lines due to Shakira's concert at the Zócalo. Platforms crowded, trains saturated, the typical early-week nightmare. Line 1 and Line 8 were the worst, with wait times of over 15 and 20 minutes respectively. Line 3 was also busy, especially at Indios Verdes.
What annoyed most was that stations in the downtown area were closed today, leaving people with no options. The Zócalo/Tenochtitlán was closed in the morning due to the event, so everyone had to go to Pino Suárez or Allende. Luckily, they reopened around 9:40 AM, bu

I just checked the verification schedule in Edomex and realized that the deadline has passed for those with yellow stickers, but if you have plates 7 or 8 with a pink sticker, you still have time until March 31st. I don’t recommend letting this slide because the fines are quite hefty, around 3,394 pesos if you’re late. What bothers me most is that after paying the fine, you still have to get the verification anyway, so you end up spending double.
For the Edomex verification, the cost depends on the type of hologram you need. If your car emits little pollution, you get a 0 hologram for about 61

I just found out that in the State of Mexico there is a limit to take advantage of the full property tax discount this year. It turns out that until April 6th, you can still pay only the vehicle registration fee without having to shell out anything for the property tax, but after that date, the opportunity ends. Note that this applies only to cars with an invoice value of up to 638,000 pesos and includes motorcycles up to 250,000 pesos, VAT included.
The thing is, in Edomex, the process is quite simple. You can do it online with just your license plate, VIN, RFC, and email, or go in person to

I just saw that Honduras has an elected president, and the story is quite interesting from a geopolitical perspective. Nasry 'Tito' Asfura, a construction magnate, won the presidential election after a recount that lasted more than three weeks. Interestingly, Trump publicly endorsed him almost two days before the vote, saying he was the only candidate he would work with.
The numbers were close: Tito Asfura received 40.3 percent compared to 39.5 percent for Salvador Nasralla, a TV personality who did not accept the results. Nasralla directly called it a fraud on Facebook and TikTok, comparing t

Hey, I just found out that university professors are already in full strike mode. They confirm that this upcoming teachers' strike will be quite serious because they already have a planned protest strategy for the entire semester. It’s not just an isolated week; they will be progressively striking at regular intervals.
What’s happening is that the unions (AGD-UBA, CONADU Histórica, Aduba, and others) say that teachers lost 51% of their salary between 2024 and 2025, and the government is offering only a 12% increase in installments until 2026. Obviously, that doesn’t add up for them. They deman
