Everything about this organization is embarrassing right now.

It’s really good. Feels like the game that Uncharted should’ve been. Mixes stealth, puzzles and combat really well so you never get tired of any one aspect. Baker does a respectable Ford impression too.

“I find comfort in the thought that cinema is not just moving pictures; it sets hope in motion.”

The logic of algorithms tends to repeat what “works,” but art opens up what is possible. Not everything has to be immediate or predictable. Defend slowness when it serves a purpose, silence when it speaks and difference when evocative. Beauty is not just a means of escape; it is above all an invocation. When cinema is authentic, it does not merely console, but challenges. It articulates the questions that dwell within us, and sometimes, even provokes tears that we did not know we needed to express.

Just looking at this post, you could almost be fooled into thinking that Pixar’s biggest discovery from the past 30 years is…shallow depth of field.

What Did Men Do to Deserve This? Changes in the economy and in the culture seem to have hit them hard. Scott Galloway believes they need an “aspirational vision of masculinity.”

Another killer visual article from the NYT that shows, among other things, the potential in the unexpected discoveries of government-funded science.

TIL that the name Velcro comes from the French words for “velvet hooks”.

Given the stakes, this is a strong Catch of the Year candidate.
