The ‘Almodóvar effect’: culture becomes rural

If rural and emptied Spain had its own president and could govern against that other urban and excessive Spain, that would undoubtedly be Pedro Almodovar. It would have to be him. Not because of absolute majorities or anything like that, but because of his own conviction. He is a fervent lover of consanguineous ghosts, neighborhood runners, and sepulchral silences.

Cody Bellinger accepts the chance at redemption with a winning hit for the Dodgers in Game 5 of the NLDS

Cody Bellinger had a miserable 2021 season at the plate for the Dodgers, and that's to put it kindly. It was bad on an epic historical level. Bellinger was, most of the time he was digging in the batter's box, the coyote trying to catch the road runner, often blowing himself up in the process. He lunged against the sliders, rocked across the straights, and froze at the curves falling into the strike zone. It swayed and missed, over and over again. His signature long swing, something beautiful during his 2019 MVP campaign, looked long and lost in 2021. He was not completely healthy, battling a shoulder problem that sapped his power and timing, a rather devastating 1-2 hit. Bellinger hit .165 with a .240 on-base percentage and a 45 OPS +; remember, 100 is the league average on that ...

"We oppose all the violence that we grew up with." The three musicians, all 20, were born after the 1998 peace accord, but learned in their youth that political peace had not put an end to mutual violence and hatred in Belfast. "Violence has decreased dramatically compared to the past," says Taylor. "But it never disappeared." They never participated in the riots, but they went to see. "The parents of friends were arrested," says Luc. “The worst thing I ever saw was someone's head exploded that had been hit by a b...

Instead of the game ending with a flyout, grounder or something, Giants first baseman Wilmer Flores was called up on a Strike 3 check-swing against Max Scherzer. First base umpire Gabe Morales ruled on appeal that Flores flipped. Here is the swing in question:MORE: Cody Bellinger's decisive blow sends Dodgers to second consecutive NL Yeah, it doesn't look like it went that way.It was a quick decision by Morales.
