It’s great to see so much support for the value of ‘taking the breeze’ – the authorities must respect public space too, says María Ramírez, journalist and deputy managing editor of elDiario.es

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.
Alt-Txt: Two people stand before multi-color strips of paper with text on them that stretch down an entire wall and onto the floor. The title of the installation "I Agree" appear in all caps on the wall, too.

Spanish speakers: is this “un vez” a typo or some literary thing that I have not yet come across? #langsky

Not confused I just find it mildly curious/funny that in Spanish, both queens have the same name, Isabel, while in English, they have 2 different names, Elizabeth and Isabella. So they share a name in one language but not in the other.

It’s the other way round, Isabella is the English translation of the Spanish queen Isabel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabell...

Something I always found funny is that in Spanish, Elizabeth II and Isabella I of Castille are both "Isabel".

Of that route I have only been to Bled and Ljubljana. Both extremely picturesque and less than a day is enough for each one (although you could definitely spend more if you had time)

Im glad I read it but I found (which is often the case with books like these) that it could have been condensed down a bit. And it was maybe a bit infantilising. Still, I might buy a physical copy and highlight the bits I found relevant.
