Some friends last weekend kinda landed on a working theory that Important Art Museums are some of the last places random Americans will be exposed to surprise in art that might make them feel something--even if the feeling is distaste--because you go as a Tourist Destination and can't pick the art.
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Don't trust the human slop telling you how much of the web is AI slop
Is a lot of the web algorithmically created content? Possibly! But don't share the argument that's trying to sell you on creating more fake content.

Labor gaining just the tiniest amount of power relative to capital a few years back absolutely broke employers' brains
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

I started a horror blog when I was 18 called "Day of the Woman: A Blog for the Feminine Side of Fear." It's also what got me published in my first book about film. This led to my first documentary appearance in GROWING UP W/ I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE.

Thank you @andrewpope.bsky.social for this break down. Last year, The Substance was waving the horror banner proudly during award season. We’re hoping it’s a start for the genre to break through the barriers- again (since Get Out).
Horror quietly took over the 2026 Oscars race:
1. SINNERS sits as a broad-spectrum near-lock
2. WEAPONS has a genuine acting shot
3. FRANKENSTEIN is breaking out from its craft base
This might be the broadest horror awards year in decades. Here’s how the odds look.

Check out Episodic Medium:
In the first four episodes of its second season, #FindingMrChristmas saw its openly gay contestant emerge as a frontrunner, which raised the question: could Hallmark's Mr. Christmas be gay?
The answer from this week's episode probably won't surprise you.
