The Paintings of Bouchra Belghali
By Brian D’Ambrosio To stand before a painting by Bouchra Belghali is to experience something closer to listening than looking. It unfolds the way music does—not by telling a story or depicting a recognizable scene, but by setting color into motion, allowing it to vibrate, collide and resolve into feeling. Like a melody unburdened by lyrics, it bypasses explanation and goes straight to sensation.

Essence, Embodiment, and Relational Reality
The Failure of Reduction and the Need for Synthesis There is a persistent failure in many modern attempts to explain what a human being is. Some frameworks reduce the person entirely to matter, insisting that identity, consciousness, morality, and meaning are nothing more than emergent properties of physical processes. Other frameworks move in the opposite direction, detaching spirit from reason and grounding belief in intuition alone, often at the cost of coherence or accountability. Both approaches fail because both misunderstand essence. One denies that essence exists at all. The other treats it as something vague and undefinable.

Project Hail Mary
The anticipation for the Project Hail Mary film adaptation in 2026 is absolutely massive! Andy Weir’s story is a masterclass in 'competence porn,' and seeing Ryland Grace brought to life on the big screen is going to be a cinematic treat. Translating that level of scientific problem-solving to film is a highly strategic process—much like the focus and timing required in a top-tier ice fishing slot game in the UK—you have to get every detail right to make the 'catch' truly satisfying for the audience

John LoPinto on Travel as Perspective
Travel is often viewed as leisure or escape, but John LoPinto sees it as something more purposeful. For him, travel is a tool for perspective.

Exposure to unfamiliar contexts challenges assumptions and strengthens decision making.
