The American Dream has officially been rewritten from "own a home and raise a family" to "just survive." The system is intentionally rigged to keep the working class living paycheck to paycheck indefinitely. They inflate the prices of assets like housing and stocks so younger generations can never get a foothold.
We are working harder than our parents ever did for a fraction of the actual purchasing power. People aren’t lazy, they are just exhausted from playing a game where the rules are permanently fixed against them.
recently I was doing a mini illustration series: Photon's Duality. It's about leftover space produced by construction and how they are quite useful in the fiction and aesthetics. Pretty fun!
A single mistake on a football field cost a man his life.
During the 1994 FIFA World Cup, Colombian defender Andrés Escobar accidentally scored an own goal against the United States.
The goal contributed to Colombia's elimination from the tournament.
For most athletes, a mistake like that would mean criticism, headlines, and disappointment.
For Escobar, it became something far more tragic.
Just days after returning to Colombia, he was shot and k!lled in Medellín on July 2, 1994.
He was only 27 years old.
What makes this story even more heartbreaking is that before his death, Escobar had urged Colombians to stay calm and positive despite the team's World Cup exit.
Football is often described as life and death.
But in Escobar's case, that expression became horrifyingly real.
More than 30 years later, his story remains one of the darkest chapters in sports history and a reminder of what can happen when passion turns into obsession.
No match.
No trophy.
No result.
Is ever worth a human life.
Andrés Escobar should be remembered not for an own goal, but for the tragedy that followed it.
