My song of the summer.
Lyrics are a beauty (scroll down for English)
[Strofa 1]
Il cartello di Cali è un bordello
Meglio il traffico delle vacanze
Quelle code infinite di macchine
Che si vedono al telegiornale
Mi mettono di buon umore
Come gli stabilimenti balneari
E il cielo quando è tutto azzurro
E il cielo quando è tutto azzurro
[Bridge 1]
E l'aria che sa di mare
E tutti ci vogliamo nuotare
E tutti ci vogliamo nuotare
E il sole che ci fa bene
Alla pelle, agli occhi, alle ossa
E non ci fa pensare
[Ritornello]
Ti mando un vocale
Di dieci minuti
Soltanto per dirti
Quanto sono felice
Ma quanto è puttana
Questa felicità
Che dura un minuto
Ma che botta ci dà
[Strofa 2]
Ma che bello sudare d'estate
Ai matrimoni, all'ufficio postale
Alla festa del santo patrono
Quando il volante non si può toccare
Mi mette di buon umore
Come il vento sotto la maglietta
E la birra che si scalda in fretta
E la birra che si scalda in fretta
[Bridge 2]
E l'aria che sa di sale
E tutti ci vogliamo baciare
E tutti ci vogliamo baciare
E il sole che ci fa bene
Alla pelle, agli occhi, alle ossa
E non ci fa pensare
[Ritornello]
Ti mando un vocale
Di dieci minuti
Soltanto per dirti
Quanto sono felice
Ma quanto è puttana
Questa felicità
Che dura un minuto
Ma che botta ci dà
Ma che botta ci dà
Ma che botta ci dà
Ma che botta
Ma che botta ci dà

[Strop 1]
The Cali cartel is a brothel
Better holiday traffic
Those endless queues of cars
What you see on the news
They put me in a good mood
Like the bathing establishments
And the sky when it’s all blue
And the sky when it’s all blue
[Bridge 1]
And the air that smells of the sea
And we all want to swim
And we all want to swim
And the sun that is good for us
To the skin, to the eyes, to the bones
And it does not make us think
[Refrain]
I send you a vowel
Ten minutes
Just to tell you
How happy I am
But how much is a whore
This happiness
That lasts a minute
But what a blow it gives us
[Strop 2]
But how nice to sweat in the summer
At weddings, at the post office
At the feast of the patron saint
When the steering wheel can not be touched
It puts me in a good mood
Like the wind under the shirt
And the beer that heats up quickly
And the beer that heats up quickly
[Bridge 2]
And the air that tastes of salt
And we all want to kiss
And we all want to kiss
And the sun that is good for us
To the skin, to the eyes, to the bones
And it does not make us think
[Refrain]
I send you a vowel
Ten minutes
Just to tell you
How happy I am
But how much is a whore
This happiness
That lasts a minute
But what a blow it gives us
But what a blow it gives us
But what a blow it gives us
What a blow
But what a blow it gives us
So excited that my profile on the @united-nations Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed for the Wing’s second issue of No Man’s Land is finally out! She’s not just a badass diplomat, but also the best dressed official at the UN. Her energy and enthusiasm never cease to amaze me.
Tara is one of my favourite skaters, but I disagree with this one. Since the scoring system changed, it’s all a numbers game and figure skating has become less interesting to watch. For the men, it’s all about the quads. Even falling on a quad scores higher than a cleanly performed triple. For the ladies, it’s all about placing jumps on the second half of the programme, or jumping with their hands above their head. I see Evgenia Medvedeva’s tiny jumps scoring higher just because of this system. Airy jumps - even if they’re only triples with hands on your chest - those are considered inferior now. Even Mirai Nagasu felt like she needed a triple axel to get an edge and that’s still not enough!
It’s been disappointing to watch so many skaters fall because of this. I DO want the sport to evolve, but I’m not sure if the way it’s being done now is the right way.
If anyone benefitted from the change is the scoring system it was ICE DANCING. I never watched it (full disclosure: I was a competitive figure skater once) and now I’m all over it because that’s the only place where the artistry is still so critical for scoring well. It is also so much more enjoyable when I’m not ridiculously nervous for the skaters - and it’s entertaining. Virtue & Moir over Yuzu and Zagitova any day.
Mirai Nagasu becomes the first U.S. woman to land a triple axel at the Olympics.

It’s 2018, a big election year, and women are going to be running everywhere. We’re sort of astonished by the numbers, but not by their ambition. They’ll be elected to city councils, state legislatures and Congress and hardly anyone will give their gender a second thought. That’s Hillary’s gift.
Here’s the message she left us. You can have that double dip at opportunity — you can even have a third or fourth chance if things go wrong. All you need to do is ignore every setback and work like a maniac.
This is why we need more #HeforShe. The disparity was so evident. Only Seth Meyers looks good here.
Finally someone admits this. Heh.
Speaking at an invitation-only conference, Les Napoleons, on Saturday, the44th president told the room about “the importance of more focus on putting women in power because men seem to be having some problems these days,” French news agency AFP reported.
“Not to generalize, but women seem to have a better capacity than men do, partly because of their socialization,” the Democrat said in response to a question about essential leadership qualities.
When you realize your sanctuary means so much more than you think. Love this place and only want it to keep growing while also protecting it.
Two rare things for me: a late night and selfie.
