Last month, I found myself sitting in what looked like the world's most boring strip mall restaurant. Beige walls, no signage except for a tiny brass plaque, and a parking lot filled with understated luxury cars. I'd been invited by a source who'd built three successful companies before turning forty. As we ate perfectly prepared Dover sole at 7 PM on a Tuesday, surrounded by other quietly powerful diners, something clicked. This wasn't about exclusivity or showing off. This was about something else entirely.

Kameh was naturally drawn to design, but it wasn't until they were setting up a new apartment that they knew this interest was a true calling. "Very quickly I realized I wanted to create pieces that told a story, rather than simply serve as functional furniture," the artist says. "I wanted each object to carry a soul, to hold a memory - something that could live and breathe in the space with me."

The writer and comedian Megan Koester got her first writing job, reviewing internet pornography, from a Craigslist ad she responded to more than 15 years ago. Several years after that, she used the listings website to find the rent-controlled apartment where she still lives today. When she wanted to buy property, she scrolled through Craigslist and found a parcel of land in the Mojave Desert.

His knees guide the steering wheel as he speeds down the highway with the sun in absentia. The windows are down; it takes four gongs of the nearby church bell to remind him that daylight breaks soon. "Prague," a standout from Rebel, paints this portrait in broad strokes. Anecdotes like this are the closest we get to insight on EsDee's character: a daredevil incarnate, headstrong and unconcerned with dressing up his vices in euphemism.

I've been working in photography and video since I was 15 years old. I've been there at the start of a lot of peoples' careers and have seen how their egos change when they get famous, that really scares me. At one point, I felt like I was headed that way, and I decided to hide myself, he admits on a phone interview, his first with EL PAIS.

Jasper feels that most mainstream videogames today are trying to be too polished, instead referring to Hylics or Lunacid as examples of "old skool" styled graphics packed with soul. In Jasper's march for Palestinian aid, a real feeling of togetherness is present, even if none of these people met each other. Using reference images, he would use the clone stamp and other photoshop techniques to create a "trim sheet", extracting usable textures from elements of their clothing and likeness,

In an era of permacrisis, what lifts your spirits? We're interested to hear from people about the small, everyday actions that have bought you joy when you've been feeling down. It could be starting a conversation with a stranger, taking a family walk, doing karaoke or spontaneous skinny dipping - the less expected, the better. Please include a sentence or two about why you were in a slump (perhaps it was after a bad break-up, or during a particularly stressful time at work?)

Tea founder Sean Cook, a software engineer who previously worked at Salesforce and Shutterfly, says on the app's website that he founded the company in 2022 after witnessing his own mother's "terrifying" experiences. Cook said they included unknowingly dating men with criminal records and being "catfished" - deceived by men using false identities.

Fergal Reid and Martin Harrigan's study introduced the "User Network" to model the relatedness of a single user's coins based on the common input ownership heuristic (CIOH). This model evaluated the anonymity of Bitcoin donations, specifically critiquing WikiLeak's claim of accepting anonymous donations.

Banksy's latest mural, featuring a black lighthouse and the words "I want to be what you saw in me," marks a rare moment of self-reflection.

Many individuals experience life-altering changes post-breakup, like relocating, changing careers, or altering their appearance, spurred by the emotional weight of a romantic split.

I hold so much more pressure and weight in my body than I ever did, and I think it's just kind of the expectation of it all.
