NYC put a 34-year-old rapper who had never had a job in charge of fixing this.
These will make great videos in 2029, @ZohranKMamdani, if you don’t.

What Michelangelo achieved in sculpture was revolutionary because his unprecedented anatomical realism and psychological intensity —extracting lifelike figures from solid blocks of marble. His ability to render muscles, veins, and delicate fabric transformed rigid stone into dynamic, emotional, otherworldly masterpieces.

"Iris Van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses"
Brooklyn Museum of Art, NYC
@brooklynmuseum
Iris Van Herpen (b. 1984 in Wamel, Netherlands) is one of the most remarkable female artists of this generation. Her works are the nexus between fashion, art, design, technology, and science. Her willingness to experiment - exploring new fabrics created by blending steel with silk or iron fillings with resin, incorporating unexpected materials ranging from umbrella tines to magnets, and pushing the boundaries of technologies such as 3-D printing. Van Herpen has created a body of work that continues to defy expectations, evolving from haute couture pieces into the embodiment of new ideas and visions of the contemporary world.
Van Herpen's creations destabilize perception-unsettling and heightening, shaping and sculpting the senses through her choice of materials, patterns, and sewing techniques.
The designer sought to evoke complex phenomena such as lucid dreaming, hypnosis, and synesthesia, a trait in which the senses intertwine and perception becomes multimodal. Forms blur, shimmer, and resist being seen as fixed or singular.

@impression_ists Caillebotte mastered the pursuit of beauty in the simplicity of the everyday.

It is fascinating how #EdwardHopper’s seascapes also possess that depth and exploration of themes—such as silence, light, and introspection—that characterize his depictions of urban settings. Undoubtedly, these images of the sea offer a serene counterpoint to his stark city scenes, bridging the gap between traditional realism and modern self-reflection.

Vendí mis tickets de la final @FIFAWorldCup entre Argentina 🇦🇷 y Espańa 🇪🇸
Los compré minutos después de q salieron a la venta hace casi 4 meses
Me enteré del precio por lo q podía venderlas después de preguntar ansiosamente si era legal a Familiares, que justamente son dueños de ticketeras
Me contacte con un amigo marroquí q tenia contacto directo con clientes del mundial Saudís y ofrecí un precio para petroleros
Lo pagaron sin chistar
Voy a ver la final en la 📺 feliz y billetudo 💰 Ganando más que siendo campeón de un ATP Challenger
Por si acaso toda esta historia es ficción (o tal vez no….)

What is happening in sports today?
This special treatment, the cover-ups, and the double standards appear to be widespread; not only in tennis, but we are also seeing it at the World Cup with Messi and the Argentine national team. We are witnessing the total destruction of the ideal of competition and fair play, as well as the corruption of the system governing these entities.

It is incredible to see this gem of tennis history. No steroids, no doping substances, no cheating; simply two extraordinary athletes, Federer and Djokovic, making history in the best possible way. What we are witnessing today is a shameful chapter of another book written by sinister characters.
English

Argentina struck, shoved, and pushed their opponents throughout the match—not to mention benefiting from constant special treatment and a double standard throughout the entire tournament—and yet, you criticize Bellingham? That says more about your own set of values than about Bellingham's attitude after the game.

Italian Fashion
The history of Italian fashion spans from the opulent Renaissance courts to the modern, globally recognized Made in Italy label. It’s is a story defined by exceptional artisanal craftsmanship, luxurious textiles, cinematic glamour in the 1950s, and the rise of iconic design houses in Milan.
Before Italy was a unified country, its city-states —particularly Florence, Venice, and Milan— were fashion capitals of Europe. Wealthy nobles and merchants demonstrated their power through sumptuous materials like brocade, silk, and velvet, heavily embellished with lace and jewels. Italian master craftsmen in local guilds perfected pattern-making, dying (such as Venice’s famous rosso scarlati wools), and cutting techniques that influenced trends across the continent.
Italian fashion began its transition toward modern design at the turn of the century. For decades, Paris was the undisputed capital of haute-couture. Italian dressmakers and tailors heavily referenced French styles, incorporating the intricate construction, structure, and glamorous silhouettes defined by iconic French couturiers like Christian Dior and Coco Chanel.
Following World War II, global reliance on Paris was disrupted, giving Italian designers a platform to challenge French supremacy. When Italian entrepreneur Giovanni Battista Giorgini held the first historic runway show in the White Room of Florence’s Palazzo Pitti in July 1952; Italy broke free from French influence. Rather than competing with the heavily structured French couture, Italians pioneered luxurious yet highly wearable everyday garments. This shifted the focus to practical tailoring, vibrant colors, and exceptional craftsmanship —solidifying Italy’s dominance with synthesis of designers, high quality textiles, and specialized local manufacturers.
Names like Gianfranco Ferré, Valentino Garavani, Gianni Versace, and Giorgio Armani became pillars of late 20th century fashion who transformed Italy into a global style superpower. Each defined a unique pillar of modern aesthetics: Ferré, a trained architect, developed a exquisite style with precise geometric shapes and dramatic volume, Valentino championed timeless couture, Versace blended pop art with classical Greek motifs and vibrant sensuality, and Armani brought a relaxed and fluid elegance becoming the master of minimalism.
Today, Italian fashion continues to be synonymous with “quiet luxury” and ethical elegance. The enduring legacy of Italian style —often summarized simply as bella moda— remains finally anchored in its historical commitment to supreme craftsmanship and luxurious fabrics.

And just like that Carlos Alcaraz wrist is now completely healed after almost exactly 3 months after his sudden withdraw from his match against Tomas Machac in Barcelona on the 17th April 2026?
The Tennis Letter@TheTennisLetter
According to La Verdad, Carlos Alcaraz’s wrist is ‘completely healed.’ The plan is to gradually increase his training load, with the goal of returning to tennis in Cincinnati next month. This is great news. ❤️🙏 Source: laverdad.es/carlos-alcaraz…
