The streaming service has just released a “VHS” special edition of the show’s first season. “Rewatch Season 1 like it’s 1983,” it wrote in its announcement. Indeed, the version looks very much like you’re watching a VHS tape.  It has the 4:3 aspect ratio of old tube TVs, so you’ll see two large black bars on both sides of the screen, unless you’re really watching on…

The ruling Socialists’ junior coalition partner Sumar has put forward a new proposal which seeks to change the minimum requirements for rental properties in Spain and make air conditioning mandatory.

His family businesses reported revenue last year of $2.2 billion — largely earnings from cryptocurrency.

These were among the views expressed by participants of two online focus groups that NPR observed on Tuesday. The focus groups were made up of 12 Pennsylvania voters total. Half the participants, when asked, said they were “troubled” by Trump’s windfall in…

En la memoria reverberaron Maradona y las Malvinas. Estaba prohi-bido mencionarlas. Nadie dijo nada de traerlas en el recuerdo. Hoy, sin embrago, tienen otro héroe: Lionel Messi, quien no necesitó marcar goles para dar el triun-fo a Argentina. Encontró el momento oportuno para enviar los pases con los que Argentina se impuso 2-1 a Inglaterra, en un duelo agónico y cargado de símbolos. Una vez más está…
