Comments 0 Comment

Reporters Without Borders’s Global Press Freedom Index tracks actions against news media. America’s ranks 53rd on press freedom. We’re between Tonga and Uruguay. Home of “freedom of the press,” the United States entered the list – when it started in 2002 – at 17th place. We fell nine places just since last year. “The steady erosion of press freedom in the United States, France and Japan is extremely alarming,” Reporters Without Borders said. They particularly concerned this year about how…

Which Magical Symbol Is Connected To You? Mist is your magical symbol. Mist is a very mysterious and dreamy element, which can often turn the mind fairly philosophical. Mist is highly intriguing and is noted as, sort of, a rare sight. Much like a rainbow. Seen a lot, but hardly enough. Mist brings about a sense of magic through its appearance as it glides across the earth in such a gentle, ghostly manner. And even as it does so, it…

Comments 0 Comment

Joseph Nechvatal is a “chef extraordinaire” of the artworld.
