In case you haven’t heard: San Francisco’s art scene is dead. So dead, in fact, that the de Young had to pick from nearly 8,000 artists for its triennial exhibition featuring works from nine Bay Area counties. The Bay Area art world has been buzzing for months in anticipation of ...

I booked a Flixbus to get from New York to Toronto. It seemed a good idea: their buses are comfortable, their drivers and conductors tend towards colourful but competent, the WiFi works. An overnight trip means that you can do some work on your laptop, watch a movie and still get some decent sleep a...

They continue, noting that the US is now 30th as a percentage of GDP in total assistance to Ukraine. They say that Russian war criminals must be brought to justice. Republicans still publish the do...

Winter. From June 22nd to September 21st. Rare rainfall. Average daily temperature is around +25°C during the day and 14°C at night. The harshest temperatures and precipitation occur in August. Paraguayans are so afraid of the cold in August that they have come up with a special traditi...

Have you ever heard this statement? It may be in a well-intentioned, lightly mocking way by a non-white friend. Or, it could even by a self-deprecating white person who thinks that stating as such makes them seem “woke” and supportive of non-white communities. Ah, yes. We all know the...

Guardians of Mother Earth, let us embark on a journey through the forest of managing ecosystems respecting Indigenous and traditional peoples’ rights and navigating the complex world of funding. We will explore how the Condor and the Eagle can fly together in this process of system change. ...

First and foremost, an active volcano is required. Permanent lava lakes are only found in volcanic regions where eruptions are a regular or periodic feature. Inside the volcano, there is a magma chamber containing molten lava, which is a mixture of molten rocks,...

It is readily apparent that fashion incurs a trivialization not brought against other, similar areas of interest. Is someone into watches? That is okay because the hobby of ‘being into watches’ extends far beyond simply buying timepieces. Is this same person into fashion? That is unaccep...
