"And this is news?" is the question we often see in the comments of news stories about tabloids and pop culture. And, obviously, these are not news that make the front pages of newspapers, but they are issues that we often discuss with friends or family around a table or at the bar. Not only to keep up with the most important gossip, but also to talk about love, friendship or breakups.

This Friday, the couple starred in an exclusive wedding that took place on the small Venetian island of San Giorgio Maggiore, located right in front of St. Mark's Square. During the celebration, Sánchez shared the first photo of her and Bezos as a married couple on Instagram, thus revealing one of the best-kept secrets of these days: her dress.

Billionaire Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men in the world, and former presenter Lauren Sanchez will star in one of the weddings of the year this week, a celebration that has already been surrounded by controversy before it even takes place. Like many celebrities and celebrities, the couple has chosen to follow the fashion of the destination weddings, that is, organizing a mega-wedding in a glamorous or exotic destination, often with no emotional connection to the bride and groom. As the setting for their wedding, Bezos and Sanchez have chosen Venice, a city that has been struggling for years with the consequences of mass tourism. Not everyone is happy about the event: Greenpeace and city residents have organized protests and have persuaded the couple to change one of the main wedding locations. A total of 200 guests are expected from around the world, some of whom have already landed in Italy.

Neoliberalism was neither new nor particularly liberal when it was imposed fifty years ago. Its great advantage was its marked departure from classical liberalism: although it deferred to liberal thinkers, it shared neither their method nor their idea of the market. Today we are on the verge of another equally profound ideological innovation.

Katy Perry has outgrown the large stadiums where she usually performs. The singer Firework traveled into space today for a few minutes accompanied by Lauren Sánchez, former journalist and promising tech mogul Jeff Bezos, and four other women, all prominent figures in American society (journalist Gayle King; NASA space scientist Aisha Bowe; bioastronautics scientist Amanda Nguyen).

Ann Telnaes was one of the star cartoonists of the Washington Post. One day in early January, the Pulitzer Prize-winning ninotaire saw one of her drawings rejected. It featured a handful of billionaires kneeling, reverenced by a giant statue of Donald Trump, then president-elect. They included Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg; Sam Altman of OpenAI; Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of Los Angeles Times, and Mickey Mouse, the emblem of Walt Disney. And also Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon and –this is the most relevant– of Washington Post Telnaes knew that her cartoon would upset the newspaper's editors and probably wanted to see if the freedom of expression—of opinion—she had enjoyed since its debut in the newspaper's pages in 2008 remained the same or had diminished. The editor in charge of the newspaper's opinion pages, David Shipley, returned the cartoon. And she responded by folding it and recounting what had happened in a text on the Substack network. He spoke of a "tipping point" and warned that what's happening is dangerous.

One of the key episodes of the Cold War was the space race between the Soviet Union and the United States, which culminated in man's landing on the moon in July 1969. Today there is a certain consensus that this race with political undertones boosted scientific research to unprecedented levels, and a series has recently been released, For all mankind, which asks what would have happened if the Soviets had landed on the Moon before the Americans did. Well, at present, the closest thing to that race of the second half of the twentieth century is the competition between three billionaires, Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, to be the first to exploit so-called space tourism, that is, allowing anyone to fly beyond the atmosphere and see the planet Earth from space.
