Do you know what "miércoles" means in this clip from the film Encanto?

If not, what do you think it means?

Una abuela removiendo guiso en la cocina mientras su nieta mira desde la mesa donde está sentada. En la mesa hay verduras preparadas.

La alta cocina tiene estrellas Michelin. La cocina casera tiene abuelas.

"Un puñado", "un chorrito", "hasta que esté" y ninguna báscula mide lo que los dedos reconocen tras décadas de amasar.

I get it! I've been the crowd when my SO has run, and the whole thing had an amazing vibe. Even when I see runners in the train, the energy is great.

UGH I wish more of my friends liked socialising w/ sports. A few of us skate in the park in LDN sometimes, but I wish it was more often

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

POR FIN SE PUEDE TRADUCIR POST DESDE BLUESKY. YA ERA HORA.

La traducción me va un poquito lenta pero supongo que mejorará.

Si no podéis traducir desde aquí, actualizad la aplicación.

Ya ves! La comida es casi religión en España. No sé por qué a la gente le cuesta tanto admitir que ambas están bien.

Yo soy de la escuela de Desayuno>almuerzo>comida pero honestamente me da igual como se le llame, lo importante realmente es comérselo.

Cuando yo vivía en Madrid, estaba por ahí. Me encanta esa zona. No sé como estaría la economía para invitar pero lo habría valorado si siguiese por allí

Here's Spain PM Pedro Sánchez's speech in Spanish.

Political speeches tend to be more comprehensible because politicians tend to:

- speak more clearly
- use simpler language, logical constructions, and grammar as it's taught
- refer to abstract concepts which are often cognates

Es muy frustrante. ¿Qué te contestan si preguntas que dónde esta la relación?

Me pasa cuando le pregunto a alguien que cómo está y me contesta lo que está haciendo.

Again, he is not perfect but I am glad Spain’s president said no to the US, despite the cheeto’s threats.

Trump: "Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it"

Not receiving consent and moving forward anyway is a consistent theme in his life — as E. Jean Carroll can attest

En valencià, adios es “adeu”, la mujer borracha tiene algo de razón.

Me pregunto si lo que estás comiendo son cosas con caldo de pescado que lleve mejillones, o algo. Qué extraño.
