Decades ago, I found myself in a small haberdashery in Milan, captivated by a pair of calfskin gloves. The leather was supple, the stitching meticulous, and they possessed an altogether unnecessary thumb gusset. I remember the precise shade of tobacco brown. I bought them not because I loved the brand, which I have long forgotten, but bec...
…the screen flickered, displaying that sharp red drop—a precise 6.5% contraction for Shopify (SHOP) in just one session. It is the kind of immediate movement that makes you pull back, tilt your head, and wonder: Is this the dip you double down on, or the signal to step away completely?

The myth of the effortless ascent pervades many discussions of success, particularly in the arts. People often imagine that once a performer finds their distinct rhythm, the remaining path is simply a clear incline toward recognition.

They must *talk* to one another. It’s the only way to shift from merely running campaigns to truly learning from them. Think of the unique agony: watching critical patient engagement data get trapped, siloed away in a platform that refuses to speak to the rest of the ecosystem. This pervasive fragmentation directly limits the ability to ac...
The share price of Shopify has soared, a nearly 48% ascent this year, a giddy climb achieved on the volatile ladder of digital expectation.

The International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) has announced its second Focus program for the 55th edition, highlighting Japan's V-Cinema movement.
