Dear readers,

The Latino vote in Florida is a lot like what people in the Caribbean call “rice with mango.” That is to say, something that at first glance lacks linear logic and contains apparent contradictions. Trump’s visit to Hialeah on the outskirts of Miami offered a glimpse of this notion.

In the wake of a court decision to pause President Joe Biden's parole-in-place program for undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens, we spoke with individuals who are personally affected by the move.(...).

Our most popular story this week looked at the ties between Mexico's drug world and music. The arrest of the Sinaloa Cartel kingpin 'El Mayo' Zambada in July sparked songs recounting the event, although the figure of the drug trafficker was already a recurring inspiration for (often controversial) corrido artists.

We also extracted three lessons from the latest book by the famous South Korean thinker Byung-Chul Han, and examined why Taylor Swift is above brands and why dolphins are no longer helping out fishermen.

We hope you enjoy this selection of stories.
