The Space Race Will be Mexican. NASA spent years trying to solve crumbs in space. In zero gravity, they don’t fall. They float. Into eyes, equipment, everywhere. A Mexican astronaut brought tortillas. open.substack.com/pub/lostbu…

Tremezzo looks like an elegant postcard. Everything here is composed to be seen, which is why what happens out of sight tells the real story.

People here are polite to titles and unimpressed by them. A dangerous mix for a dictator. In April 1945, Mussolini drove into that equation. In this corner of the lake, strangers do not get to write the ending.

Just 350 metres downhill, a modest trattoria. The first thing you notice is not the food, it is the tone. ‘No pizza, no industrial pasta, no tourist menu.’ The menu defends the territory with ingredients, not slogans.

Bullfights are cruel. They are also art. The argument ends at @elvillamelon Across the avenue it is not slang, it is a legendary taco. The campechano mixes what the plaza divides. Aficionados and anti-taurinos find common ground. #TacosElVillamelon open.substack.com/pub/lostbu…

Burnt coffee. Bacon grease. Migas that don’t care what’s trending. It survived the coolification of Austin, oat milk & kale smoothies. Breakfast here is a Texas time capsule. Willie Nelson still watches from the wall. #CiscosAustin #Migas #AustinEats 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/lostbu…
