Why My Cat Is the CEO of My Life (and Probably Yours Too)

Why My Cat Is the CEO of My Life (and Probably Yours Too)  The Rise of the Feline Boss Life was never ordinary after the cats arrived, got comfortable and started leading our lives.

When Actors Forget the Camera Is Rolling

When Actors Forget the Camera Is Rolling Not all of Hollywood's most memorable moments were intended. They were not practiced, acted, or even recorded. They were all spontaneous, unwritten magic,--the product of instinct, surprise, or naked feeling. These events are what can be overlooked by the director in the beginning, but the end up being the description of the scene. Whether it is unintentional lines that turned out to be…

Avocados Wearing Price Tags Like Gucci

Avocados Wearing Price Tags Like Gucci Avocados, the topping humble material in the past, glide around supermarket shelves with the retail prices of luxurious items. The combination of pressure of demand and scarcity and geopolitics, and shiny social feeds blends a creamy green fruit into a status symbol. This dispatch goes beneath the peel-to-water wars, cartel economics, monoculture risk, and the dark ecology of supplying the…

Ctrl+Z My Feelings

Ctrl+Z My Feelings A society that lives under the undo buttons would like to have it on its heart too. Divorces are in fashion, apologies move as fast as 5G, and regrets are tab-free. And its dream is easy: Take back the moment, resend the message, pull out the sting. This is not quite the case- and it is much more human. When Love Feels Like a Glitch Emotional Bugs We Wish We Could Patch Jealousy is a looping frozen app. Rumination is the wheel of…

Chicken Crossed the Highway

Perfume Made for Main Characters Only Not every fragrance is the same- some are even designed to take over rooms and rewrite memories. When you want to think of fragrance, think of a headline that you can read in the dark: no fine print. The formula is correct, and an entrance becomes an event and a name a story.

This blog engages into a discussion on how life would be like in case Google had personality and feelings and a daily life. Whether it is mind-reading searches or a pessimistic, truth-telling lifestyle…

Why TikTok Is Ruining Music at the Same Time

Why TikTok Is Ruining Music at the Same Time TikTok is changing the music rulebook — for better and for worse. It can propel the previously unheard song into international charts within days, but at the same time flattens lots of deep and layered artistry into 15-second snatches. Musicians and composers begin to pursue the algorithm-friendly sounds rather than iceless compositions. Audiences, in the meantime, are unable to…
