The Soft, Warm Light of the WILLEM DE KOONING Estate
Willem and Elaine de Kooning acquired this property in the woods of East Hampton in 1961. After visiting Jackson Pollock’s eastern Long Island studio in 1948, De Kooning had fallen in love with the area, where the quality of light and proximity to the ocean brought back memories of his childhood in Holland.

“Outside of pure dress-up games, very few games have explored fashion as part of gameplay. Games like Hitman 2 are a notable exception, where the clothes you choose to wear (or, uh, steal) allow you to stealthily blend in with crowds. Even when games aren’t necessarily built using fashion mechanics, places to discuss fashionable armour sets have cropped up behind them. Places like r/fashionsouls on Reddit have huge communities based on obtaining and creating the most stylish outfits for more traditionally “hardcore” games like Dark Souls. There’s even one going on for Monster Hunter.”

“Cosplay Culture & Fashion Week Share the Same Sartorial Ethos,” says HIGHSNOBIETY:
“The clothes and the costumes are just an excuse for both communities to convene. … Fashion may be a more glamorous arena, but what are its devotees if not nerds for apparel?”
“At a deep level, the language of climate denialism is tied up with a form of masculine identity predicated on modern industrial capitalism – specifically, the Promethean idea of the conquest of nature by man, in a world especially made for men. By attacking industrial capitalism, and its ethos of politics as usual, Thunberg is not only attacking the core beliefs and world view of certain sorts of men, but also their sense of masculine self-worth. Male rage is their knee-jerk response.” Read more about MISOGYNY, MALE RAGE, AND THE WORDS MEN USE TO DESCRIBE GRETA THUNBERG in The Conversation.
As you might have heard, WeWork’s business model didn’t, well, work. Here’s IAN BOGOST on WeWork’s philosophy: “Co-working fused the individualism of tech bootstrapping with the collectivism of social movements. Offices got sharded into realms as small as one desk—every founder his own sovereign, but all contributing to that great collective: entrepreneurship.” Read more in THE ATLANTIC.
