Under most cir­cum­stances, there’s noth­ing par­tic­u­lar­ly shock­ing about cut­ting into an eye removed from a dead ani­mal. Gra­tu­itous, maybe, and sure­ly dis­gust­ing for some, but cer­tain­ly not psy­cho­log­i­cal­ly dam­ag­ing. I remem­ber a man turn­ing up one day to my first-grade class­room and show­ing us how to dis­sect a real sheep­’s eye, which most of us found a fas­ci­nat­ing break from our usu­al spelling and math exer­cis­es. But in edu­ca­tion as in art, con­text is every­thing, and it is the con­text estab­lished by Sal­vador Dalí and Luis Buñuel that has allowed their own act of eye-slic­ing to retain its vis­cer­al impact.…

A scene from ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ (Photo: 20th Century Studios, 2026). Twenty years is a strange amount of time for a sequel (unless you’re Top Gun: Maverick, in which case you rewrite the rules). It’s long enough for nostalgia to settle into something like myth, but also long enough for the world that made the original possible to quietly slip away. That tension sits at the center of The Devil Wears Prada 2, and to their credit, director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna don’t try to soften it. The first image this sequel gives us is…

I got my start a couple of decades ago working as a bagger at our local grocery store — the same one from which my Mom just retired after a 25-year career. Grocery supply chains are complex and the logistics are tenuous. And despite what you might have heard, the profit margin s are paper thin, around 1.4 percent.  That’s why it struck me as foolish when I read New York City Mayor Mamdani’s had recently proposed a $30 million municipal grocery store to battle the alleged greed and profit-seeking in the grocery industry. As is often the case with…
