A reporter asked Lamine Yamal how he handles the pressure of carrying Spain at 18. His answer: my mother had me when she was 16, that's real pressure. My father picked things off the street to bring food home, that's pressure. All I have to do is play football.

That's the whole story of who he is, and most fans only know the surface of it.

Before he was born, his teenage parents fell behind on rent. Two neighbors named Lamine and Yamal covered them, and his father vowed his son would carry both names forever. His legal name is a permanent record of a debt his family couldn't repay in money. In Arabic, the names mean "the trustworthy" and "beauty."

His parents split when he was around 5. His mother raised him in Granollers on a fast food wage. And here's the detail almost nobody knows: that job is the reason he became a footballer. Through work she met the daughter of the youth coordinator at CF La Torreta, his first club. When she worried she couldn't cover the fees, he told her that if the boy wants to play, money will never be the reason he can't.

As a kid, Lamine told his parents: if you're counting on me getting a normal job, we're in trouble. But if I become a footballer, you'll never have to worry again.

He signed with Barcelona at 7. He was right by 15.

Every goal, he flashes 304 with his fingers. The end of 08304, the postal code of Rocafonda, the neighborhood where strangers paid his family's rent before he existed. It gets credited on every goal since.

Today, at 19, he plays for the World Cup. And if he scores tonight, somewhere in the biggest broadcast on Earth, two neighbors will hear their names, and a postal code will flash on 2 billion screens.

NEW: Ireland’s top Catholic archbishop used the evening of America’s 250th birthday to condemn “sinister forces who foster hate and division” against immigrants.

He called hostility toward immigrants that claims to defend Christianity “blasphemous.” https://t.co/sK2m2eEeA8

[VAN MUTOKA @vanmutoka1]

Dans son livre « La Médiocratie » (Système de la médiocrité), le philosophe canadien Alain Deneault écrit :
« Les médiocres ont remporté la bataille de notre époque. Le temps de la vérité et des valeurs a changé. Les médiocres se sont emparés de tout, avec leur médiocrité et leur corruption. Lorsque les valeurs et les principes élevés disparaissent, une corruption programmée des goûts, des mœurs et des valeurs remonte à la surface. C'est l'ère de la décadence. »

« Plus une personne s'enfonce dans la vulgarité, la superficialité et l'abaissement, plus elle gagne en popularité et en notoriété. »

Alain Deneault ajoute :
« Les réseaux sociaux ont largement contribué à promouvoir la médiocrité. Ils permettent à une belle personne dénuée de profondeur ou à un individu séduisant mais vide de contenu de s'imposer auprès du public, grâce à diverses plateformes médiatiques, dont beaucoup sont superficielles et peu productives, incapables d'offrir un contenu porteur de valeurs susceptibles de résister à l'épreuve du temps. »

[Jacobin @jacobin]

The storming of the Bastille was the opening act in a century-long upheaval that broke with the premodern world and finally put ordinary people in charge of their nation’s destiny.

That’s the legacy of the French Revolution. https://t.co/RuQgJNj2YQ
