Inside the Manosphere: The rise of conservative non-monogamy The rise of non-monogamy has been a highly discussed topic over the last decade. It’s generally been coded as a left/liberal phenomenon – a groovy alternative lifestyle associated with Portland polycules, self-described “kinksters”, people with dyed green hair and septum piercings, fans of boygenius and _Steven Universe._ But during this same period, as Louis Theroux’s new Netflix documentary, _Inside thehellip;_ read more raquo;

Why are so many straight men so unfunny? Back in the olden days, winding down for the night with a partner traditionally involved a nice bit of cuddling and pillow talk. Today, however, the reality is far less romantic: straight men will often just roll over, grab their phones, and proceed to subject their partners to a series of questionable Reels. From stoners slurring out long dumb takes, to borderline toxic memes, the possibilities are equal parts stupid and endless. It goes without saying that humourhellip; read more raquo;

A brief history of how Friday 13th became the tattoo world’s Black Friday _This article was originally published 14 July 2025._ On Friday the 13th, I wandered the streets of New York’s Lower East Side, searching for a tattoo shop. My destination was Cherry Bomb Studio, a tattoo parlour whose doors would remain open unusually late into the night. Cherry Bomb was celebrating Friday the 13th with one of the tattoo world’s biggest traditions: an all-day marathon of affordablehellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (30 images)nbsp;

This film captures Naples’ intense love affair with Stone Island In Glenn Kitson’s new short film, ‘ _A Sorpres_ , viewers are taken inside a Neapolitan collector’s warehouse. Inside, we see endless rows of vintage Stone Island pieces, carefully preserved in plastic. It’s a serious business: the venue is the result of “15 years of archiving”, and is run by a group of vendors from Naples’ nearby Resina market. One of them, named Nello, is shown delicately pulling a piece from its hanger, cradling it with reverence ashellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (26 images)nbsp;

The best beauty of AW26: botched facelifts, crying and rat hair The beauty looks during New York and London weeks were monstrous, from the vampires at Masha Popova and Collina Strada to the werewolves at Gabe Gordon. This spooky motif continued to run throughout the AW26 shows in Milan and Paris where we saw demonic eyes (Rick Owens), Edward Cullen skin (Diesel) and _Beetlejuice_ hair (Yohji Yamamoto).

Touching grass was the biggest trend of AW26 If we learnt anything from _The Devil Wears Prada,_ it’s that A) Nate is the true villain, and B) florals for spring are anything but groundbreaking. Far less common are florals for autumn, but we saw them in abundance during the AW26 fashion shows. Since January, the runways, presentations, re-sees and lookbooks have been relentless, but thankfully, there was one common theme that calmed some of the chaos: nature. Of course, this is no new thing – thehellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (17 images)nbsp;

The story behind Resurrection, Bi Gan’s dreamy cinematic epic In a neon-drenched port town on New Year’s Eve, 1999, a hoodlum named Apollo, who has never kissed a girl, falls for a beautiful young singer named Tai Zhaomei. As the rain batters down, this Y2K Romeo and Juliet slip into the backstreets, coming up against mobsters, biker gangs, karaoke singers, gunshots, flocks of birds, drug dealers, and even vampires in a bid to steal a ship and escape to the sea. The average filmmaker might stage such a sequence with a sense of style and verve.hellip; read more raquo;

AI isn’t replacing workers – it’s making them compete “Hope everyone enjoys their last year of meaningful work!” That’s what YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley posted on X in late February.

Sound of Falling is the most experimental teen drama of all time In recent months, I’ve been falling down a _Sound of Falling_ rabbit hole. Even though the mesmerising, experimental drama is 148 minutes long, I’ve watched it four times: at the back of a cinema, and again near the front; on my laptop in the morning, with a coffee, and again in bed, just before falling asleep, when my brain was in a dreamy headspace. The 31,000-word screenplay by the director, Mascha Schilinski, and her co-writer, Louise Peter, is sohellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (8 images)nbsp;

Precious Renee Tucker, the Solange-approved pianist going viral on TikTok “What colour do you see?” That’s what Precious Renee Tucker asked the crowd while playing different compositions at her Piano Anatomy class at the Telfar store in New York. I closed my eyes and saw deep blue and magenta. One song even turned from forest green into brown. I’d seen the experimental pianist play before on Instagram – in one of her now-signature videos where she plays on four keyboards at once – but hearing Tucker play in person is nothing short of spiritual. Those colourshellip; read more raquo;

Here’s how you can help displaced people in Lebanon Since the war in Iran broke out almost a fortnight ago, Israel has taken the opportunity to escalate its military campaign against neighbouring Lebanon: almost 700,000 people have been displaced, as the UN reported yesterday, and over 570 have been killed by air strikes, including 86 children. As well as attacking southern Lebanon, where it has focused its efforts in the recent past, Israel has increasingly been targeting the capital city,hellip; read more raquo;

Ballet and opera are dead, and that’s OK How can you tell if an art form is alive or dead? You can’t take its pulse, or request a death certificate. No heartfelt eulogies will be posted online or published in the newspaper. The truth is, there’s no easy way of knowing, which is probably why there have been so many premature RIPs in the past (see: painting in the 1830s, the novel in the 1960s, rock music and photography in the 1990s, and read more raquo;

Sisters, Saints and Sibyls: Nan Goldin’s ode to ‘rebellious sisters’ You might describe _Sisters, Saints and Sibyls_ as Nan Goldin’s origin story. You might also say there are few photo series as haunting. An assemblage of hospital reports, family photographs, and Goldin’s own images, it is a tribute to the photographer’s elder sister Barbara, who was institutionalised when she hit puberty and died by suicide at the age of 18. First screened in Paris in 2004 as one of Goldin’s highly sensoryhellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (8 images)nbsp;
