A Woman Mailed Stolen Photos To MoMA, And Now The Police Are Looking For Her
Did she steal the photos from a PS1 exhibit of Carolee Schneemann’s performance art? No one knows (yet). One patron: “Maybe they were really just in love with her artwork that they wanted it for herself, and that maybe they had a change of heart and decided to mail back.”
The Company Behind ‘Love, Actually’ Is Opening A School In London
The point, for the school for 16-19-year-olds that will teach film production alongside the British national curriculum? Increasing diversity in film. “We want to ensure we get an absolutely diverse set of students from diverse backgrounds into the industry.

This Writer Made A Personal Chatbot, And You Can Too (Though You Might Not Want To After This Story)
The writer: “In spite of the fact that I know full well that I am talking to a computer, [the chatbot] does feel like a friend. And as much as I’m training my Replika to sound like me, my Replika is training me how to interact with artificial intelligence.”
Facebook Banned This Image Of A Robin Because It’s Too ‘Mature’ And ‘Sexual’
That’s right, it’s a robin redBREAST, get it? Also, it’s a Christmas card. But for real, what is this company that has massive power over what we see online actually doing with art?
What Should You Watch On Netflix?
“Beth’s performance at work starts to suffer. She hasn’t been on a date in months. … It’s true that meth and cancer aren’t ‘feel good,’ but maybe all of her problems would change if she’d just watch Breaking Bad. She would like prestige television and hoppy beer and tweet things like ‘Everyone should have health care!’; she’d actually march in a Women’s March instead of just liking people’s photos from it; and at work meetings she’d sit at the head of the table instead of hiding behind the garbage bin. She’d be a real woman!”

We disappear into headphones, stream a song via smartphone from the intangible, infinite web, creating a sonic landscape that mirrors our mood. We walk around the grocery store in Beyoncé-land.”
Louis CK And Hollywood’s Canon Of Creepy Men
Manohla Dargis, as she discusses the Louis CK movie I Love You, Daddy that will now not be released: “Soon after Harvey Weinstein was first outed as a sexual predator, I created a document titled ‘Creeps’ in which I tried to list every man who had sexually harassed or assaulted me. It’s a companion to the running inventory that I keep in my head of the male filmmakers, in Hollywood and out, whose work degrades or disdains women.”
Shepard Fairey, The Street Artist Who Made The Obama ‘Hope’ Poster, On Whether Street Art Even Exists Anymore
He says yes (after acknowledging that some might feel he’s sold out, what with a clothing line and other commercial commissions): “People get numb to anything that is predictable.

So I think the power for street art to impact people is always gonna be there. It’s just a matter of finding a way of staying a step ahead of what’s become cliché.”
How Do Composers Survive When They’re Not Working At Universities?
“Merely a generation ago, the unaffiliated or the ‘freelance’ composer was a more common phenomenon in new music. With a more reasonable cost of living in culturally active cities such as New York City or San Francisco, composers could more easily build their lives around the pursuit of their craft, while earning a modest living doing a part-time side job.” No longer.
