I think that's their point. I think the proper (Spanish) pronunciation is gwah-dah-loo-peh.

Are you saying that painters become proficient (even great?) from copying from life? I don't understand what you mean here. I don't believe there has ever been an artist that hasn't been influenced by art, discussed art, and

To me at least, being human-focused and sensitive enough to be a novelist is contrary to being a web personality selling questionable financial advice... If the research is actually valuable, shouldn't your advice to the novelist be to

But on the other hand, if at some point you become unable to respond (artistically) to your biting self-criticism, there's the danger of ceasing production entirely. Then five years go by.

My hunch is the author has more experience with tweets than articles - tweets in crypto communities often comprise a single run-on sentence packed with keywords and (counter-cultural) intelligence-signaling.

Your comment makes a lot of sense to me. But I think that "Today there were many crows, hundreds of them flying through the air" is your definition of data, not a story. Mentioning having to duck is either a detail (more data) or

AFAIK it's mostly remembered for being a 4-player FPS at a time when those were rare for consoles. It was an above average movie tie-in game, but famously doesn't hold up to the sleepover-tinted nostalgia. E.g. the 4-player mode

"Stuck in time" is a positive. Why should I pay attention to a writer who's constantly changing their mind and retracting their work?

I assumed it was pin-chin, but "Thomas Pinecone" is too much fun to not to slip in every once in a while.

Reminds me of last 30 minutes of the film Cremaster 3, in which a man scales the inside of the Guggenheim, rock-climbing style, stopping on each floor to confront some sort a challenge from a group (line dancers, hardcore punk bands, a famo

Think of it this way: props from the original Star Wars films fetch millions of dollars at auction. Most movie fans and even most Star Wars fans would never pay that much for a prop. But you can understand wanting to own part of a piece of

Some of the ideas/predictions I thought were relevant: - Technologists will mistake a novel method for novel results - The art world will see it as a fad on which to capitalize - The masses will use it as a new way to communicate, and

After the Holy Mountain in 1973, it wasn't until 1989 he made another proper 'Jodorowsky' movie. Then until the 2010s when he was able to make two more films from crowdfunding. I don't think his films have made much mone

Yes, that's a fine start. However to me 'home' implies either some level of authority/ownership or a relationship with an owner. From my understanding it's much more difficult to run a Mastodon instance than a Disco

Discord borrowed the term from online gaming, as its initial target audience was gamers. Models like 'subreddit,' 'Discord server,' and 'Facebook group' are simple to grasp because they are stand-ins for physic

As an outsider to the art world myself, like most of us, some of the article's framing seemed strange to me--like the goal was to craft a narrative for potentially lucrative art deals. It's a very 'safe' story to tell no

With television you turn it on and there are a few mediocre choices you can tune out. On streaming platforms you have to specifically select a program to watch. When Gen Z watches/listens to something in the background it's much m

Not necessarily. I did a neuropsychological evaluation because I suspected I had ADHD (I do) and it was causing me trouble. I was also diagnosed with autism/asperger's which isn't a significant source of stress for me and tha

I think what I'm trying to say is that anime is just one of dozens of influences that go into any given project. A director (animation or large-scale live-action) will use dozens of films and film scenes for references in planning scen
