bears, buildings, and the limits of light

My face started a war that lasted ten years.

1. Everyone hates modernist architecture — the data finally confirms it
2. Bear-baiting traces to 1066 and the Norman Conquest
3. George Lucas builds a temple to storytelling — the Museum of Narrative Art
4. AI’s subtler threat: not job loss, but the hollowing-out of the job itself
5. Atlantic City’s forgotten sand sculptors, ca. 1880–1920
6. Light is shockingly slow once you leave the neighborhood
