The Warriors (1979) is one of the most unique cult films ever made. Inspired by the ancient Greek story Anabasis, the movie turns New York City into a violent urban battlefield where gangs rule the night. Hated by many critics when it first released, it later became a midnight movie phenomenon and is now considered a true classic of street cinema. Stylized, gritty, surreal — and unforgettable.

Wtf ??!!!!

‘Congratulations! We’re delighted to inform you that you’ve made it through to the fifth stage.’ At this point, I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry. I’d done the HR screening call; completed the written task; got through the first-stage interview and then repeated myself in the second. So what, exactly, was left? A PowerPoint presentation? A half-marathon? Solving a Rubik’s cube underwater? Experiences like this became a common feature of my life after I was made redundant from my job at a technology magazine in 2024. While I was fortunate enough to secure regular freelance and contract work, the lack of a fixed salary quickly created friction elsewhere. Mortgage lenders, for instance, tend to view freelance income with the same suspicion a nightclub bouncer might have for a teenager’s driving licence. Nor did I have paid holiday or sick leave. ✍️ Rohan Banerjee Article | spectator.com/article/the-ab…

The floor of Florence Cathedral is almost as breathtaking as its dome. Inside Santa Maria del Fiore, the vast inlaid marble pavement was created between 1500 and 1660 by Florentine masters, using white, black, and red marble in complex geometric patterns. Covering nearly 8,200 square meters, it turns the cathedral floor into a monumental marble carpet.
