1. The Asheville Blade had some links to resources both for those affected by Hurricane Helene, and those looking to assist. In general local groups are going to need cash. Government resources are there, but often tend to take time. To get a sense of the creativity to getting resources into the mountain, there's a group that sent supplies via mule.

Would you believe me if I told you guys that I have never tried anything from ANUA until this review? I swear I haven’t and I’m sorry if that was a bit of a disappointment for you guys. They just have too many skincare products and I didn’t know which ones I should try out […]

Earlier this month, at Paris Design Week and its concurrent shows, we were especially drawn toward work that explores material richness and depth — the use of upholstery to add dimensionality, tactility, and coziness, as well as furniture that highlights the grain and various textures of wood. Attention to detail is seasonless but there’s something about the change in the air, the way autumnal light shifts your perspective and what …

Failed, would-be comedian Kevin (Steven Webb) is on the wrong side of 40 and doesn’t have his troubles to seek. Failing at work, as well as relationships, he’s currently confined to the attic of his childhood home as he isolates with his parents during the COVID lockdown (yes, we are now sufficiently removed from the pandemic to have comedy musicals set during it). Kevin is a life-long Dolly Parton fan, …

WHEN THE SAME TOPIC comes up in three sessions in the same day, I take note. In this case, it was Ira Glass’ famous “taste gap” story. If you’re unfamiliar, it’s short and worth a watch. But the gist of it is that when you start some new creative practice, you very quickly confront a gap between your taste and your ability. Your taste inspired you to the work, but …

In the Latest Issue Tom Hazeldine gives an anatomy of the pincer movement—working-class desertion of the Tories in the Midlands and the North, middle-class Lib–Lab unity in the South—which produced the seat-slide in the 2024 UK election, plus the unprecedented bloc of radical, Green and Muslim MPs to the left of Labour generated by Starmer’s hardline stance.
