Adrián Marcelo attacks gentrification with sarcasm and raw data

The influencer Adrián Marcelo does not bite his tongue when giving his opinion about the radical changes in the capital.

CDMX according to Adrián Marcelo: where artisanal coffee displaces neighbors (and common sense)

Ah, the beautiful Mexico City, that paradise where you now pay $100 for an avocado toast while your lifelong neighbor packs his things for Ecatepec. The phenomenon of gentrification—or “the art of turning popular neighborhoods into Instagram scenes”—is advancing in leaps and bounds, leaving in its wake cafes with unpronounceable names and rents that would make an oil tycoon cry.

From Rome to Xochimilco: the involuntary tour of the displaced

According to Adrián Marcelo, content creator and expert in summarizing urban tragedies in acidic tweets: “Every time CDMX becomes more gentrified, the State of Mexico becomes more dangerous”. Wow, what a relief to know that while some toast with kombucha on a vintage terrace, others learn to sprint between rounds. The influencer equation: gentrification + resentment = broken glass at Starbucks, as demonstrated in the recent protest where some protesters confused “activism” with “breaking nice things.”

The Dr. Lorena Umaña from UNAM, with that academic delicacy that contrasts so much with Marcelo’s memes, points out that this is a “process of urban transformation”. Translation: the former neighbors are now background extras in the film “Hipsters vs. Reality”, filmed in locations like Condesa (previously affordable, now only for heirs or YouTubers).

And while apartment prices reach stratospheric heights—did someone say “loft with industrial charm”?—Marcelo drops another pearl: “Ignorance + resentment = violence”. Maybe he meant that it’s easier to break a window than pay rent… or maybe he was just criticizing that some Protestants forgot that the enemy is not the bagel bar, but real estate speculators. Hard to know.

The future: Thematic CDMX or organic coffee revolution?

The truth is that the capital becomes a theme park where the locals are secondary characters. Next attraction? “The tour of the houses that you can no longer afford”, with a mandatory stop at that building where there used to be a tortilla shop and now they sell spirulina croissants. Meanwhile, Marcelo continues in

David Jonsson will be the new Black Panther in 2028

The 32-year-old British actor will take on the legacy of Wakanda.

A new king for Wakanda

Marvel Studios closed its panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 with an expected announcement. Ryan Coogler took the stage to confirm that David Jonsson will play T’Challa II, the son of King T’Challa, in Black Panther II. The film will hit theaters on December 15, 2028.

The news surprised followers. Rumors circulated for months about who would inherit Wakanda’s legacy, but few were betting on the 32-year-old British actor. In recent years, Jonsson has become one of the promises of Hollywood.

“The honor is completely mine,” said the actor on stage, visibly moved, after thanking Ryan Coogler and Kevin Feige.

Who is David Jonsson?

He was born in London and started in theater before making the leap to British television. His big break came with the series Industry (HBO), where he played Gus Sackey. Since then he has built an ascending career in science fiction, drama and horror.

  • Wasteman (2018): One of his first important roles on television.

Details about ‘Black Panther II’

In the film, Jonsson will not replace Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa. He will play T’Challa II, who will assume his father’s legacy. Ryan Coogler returns as director. Letitia Wright will return as Shuri, Winston Duke as M’Baku and Denzel Washington joins the cast in a still-secret role.

LCDLFM4 participants say goodbye to networks before the premiere

Future inhabitants of LCDLFM4 share their latest publications before entering the reality show.

There are hours left until the fourth edition of The House of the Famous Mexico starts. As in previous seasons, the future inhabitants are already isolated, about to hand over their cell phones and immerse themselves in coexistence. How do they arrive? What are you waiting for?

A year ago, on July 27, 2025, the third season premiered. 71 days later, Aldo de Nigris was crowned the winner. Now, a new group is preparing for the experience. Some took advantage of their networks to interact with followers before the silence.

Expectations and goodbyes

Yahir made a live broadcast. “Here, reporting from the confinement… it’s less to go,” he said. The “La locancia” singer also responded to criticism about his age. At 47 years old, he stated without a filter: “I’m 47 years old, they have driven me without oil… but you really want it.” His former teammate Raúl Sandoval supported him in comments: “Give him your heart, buddy.”

Karina Torres got psyched up by showing her facial cleansing products online. In addition, he took the opportunity to offer discounts in his travel agency “Kary around the world.”

Ernesto Laguardia recorded a video packing suits and asked his followers to vote: “Please, when you nominate me, vote for me, team Laguardia.” He also shared a tender hug with his wife Patricia Rodríguez.

Yanet García began her strategy: she asked her followers to share photos with a northern hat, in honor of Monterrey. “From Monterrey to the world,” he wrote.

Cynthia Klitbo published a video with her daughter, on the verge of crying. “My love, I’m leaving… it hurts me a lot that I won’t even be able to be in contact with you,” he expressed, remembering that his absence is for a common purpose.

Memo Schutz, sports commentator, said goodbye nervously: “We are minutes away from being disconnected… I am convinced that we are going to have a lot of fun.”

The fourth season promises intense emotions from the first minute.

The exRBD attended the boy band's concert in Las Vegas and shared a moment with Howie Dorough.

Two pop icons met in Las Vegas. Anahí, former member of RBD, attended the Backstreet Boys concert at the Sphere. It was Howie Dorough who shared the news on Instagram with a photograph with the Mexican singer.

A greeting that excited the networks

In the image, both are smiling. Howie accompanied the publication with the song “Me hypnotizas” and wrote: “So nice to meet you.” Hours later, Anahí responded: “The pleasure was all mine, thanks for being so kind, until the next time.”

The exRBD didn’t just greet Howie. He also interacted with AJ McLean, as shown in a video where they chatted animatedly. The actress declared herself a fan of the boy band since her adolescence.

“Forever Backstreet Boys fan, there is music that not only brings back memories… it brings you back to who you were.”

The concert on Saturday, July 25, brought together generations. Anahí, visibly excited, relived the 1990s and early 2000s, when the band dominated the popularity charts. His visit to the Sphere did not go unnoticed among the followers of both artists.
