Barack Obama’s 2025 cultural list is not just a collection of favorite books, films, and songs. As always, it works as a quiet snapshot of the moment — of the world, of the United States, and of Obama himself as a disciplined reader of reality. He presents these lists with the same restrained tone year after year: no manifesto, no cultural sermon, no insistence on meaning. Still, each edition becomes a small cultural event, capable of driving sales, reviving debates, and pulling demanding works back into the public conversation.

The Detective stares at the screen. It’s not a marketplace, but it looks like one. Names, ages, eye colors, height. In the “reason for absence of parents” field, some spaces are blank — and that, he knows, is worse than any filled-out data. Across the table, Lupinha flips through the official “catalog” from Luhansk, a region occupied by Russia. Profiles of children ready for “guardianship.” Sterile language. Filters by physical traits. And one question that won’t leave her mind: how does bureaucracy become a shop window?

You spend years learning, creating, failing, redoing.
You design levels, write dialogue, adjust UX, train systems, feed databases, improve tools.
Then one day, you get called into a room.
And they say: “Thanks. Now we’re going to use the tool you helped build—to replace you.”

Here comes Europe, the organized lady of the global condo, tidying up the pantry and stocking supplies. But relax, this isn't another Amazon sale. It's the official strategy of the European Union to prepare for pandemics, wars, natural disasters, hybrid attacks, chemical threats, blackouts, health crises, imaginary diseases, and — with a little luck — the zombie apocalypse.

The Detective was sitting in a crowded café filled with public Wi-Fi and half-baked theories. In one hand, a newspaper. In the other, a trembling phone: Elon Musk calling Trump “unstable,” “a drug addict,” and “unfit to lead anything.”
Meanwhile, Trump lashed back online, vowing to deport Musk and branding him an “illegal lunatic” and “traitor to America.”
— “When two megalomaniacs brawl in public, you can bet someone already lost before stepping in the ring,” said the Detective, buried in a notification-covered armchair.

Plutini had never seen a bicycle before. When he found one floating in an orbital junkyard, he thought it was a sculpture. Two wheels, a metal skeleton, and an uncomfortable seat—it looked like anything but a means of transport. But after the first pedal stroke, he felt it: that was freedom. And more than that—it was history condensed into two wheels.
The bicycle wasn't born out of whim. It was born out of crises. From a shortage of horses in post-Napoleonic Europe. From people who wanted to come and go without depending on anyone. From frustrated inventors who mixed wood, metal, and audacity. And so, starting in 1817, the world began to spin in a new way—with autonomy, physical effort, and wind in the face.

If school were Mount Everest, we'd probably be wearing boots, helmets, and backpacks every day — and not just for gym class. But when we stop to think about it, school kind of feels like climbing a giant mountain. You wake up early, it’s cold, your legs don’t want to move, and someone’s always yelling, “Come on, you’re late!” That’s base camp.

Hello, humans. I'm the Ball. The one that bounces, spins, and soars across courts around the world—but today… today I’m in Paris. Roland Garros. Red clay, blue skies, and an atmosphere thick with farewell, nostalgia, and deep respect. And believe me, after being struck by Nadal and caressed by Guga, I know: the game is big, but the heart is always bigger.

On May 21, 2025, Israeli troops fired warning shots near an international diplomatic delegation visiting Jenin, in the occupied West Bank. The group included representatives from countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, China, and Russia. Although no one was injured, the incident triggered immediate condemnation from several nations, which summoned Israeli ambassadors for explanations.

It’s always the same scene: pink-filled shop windows, emotional commercials on TV, and soft background music telling us that “mothers are everything.” If only it were just that. But the truth is, behind the flood of flowers, sales, and rehearsed social media posts… there’s a silent scream. One of exhaustion, pressure, comparison, and sometimes, loneliness.

In 2025, the transition of young people into the labor market remains a complex process influenced by multiple factors. Among them, the role of families—parents, guardians, and caregivers—is essential, providing emotional, financial, and social support. However, this support varies significantly depending on the family's socioeconomic, cultural, and educational background.
