One of the most concerning developments in 2026 fo One of the most concerning developments in 2026 for cinephiles is the growing embrace of generative artificial intelligence in the filmmaking process from prominent filmmakers, actors and studios.

Take a look at yourself in the mirror. When’s the Take a look at yourself in the mirror. When’s the last time you went outside? Your veins are just a little too visible through your translucent skin, and you may or may not have the uncanny resemblance of Dracula. You’ve been (voluntarily) cooped up inside your cool, air-conditioned house glued to your computer screen for the entirety of summer that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to feel the warmth of the sun. But no more of that. It’s going to be scary. It’s going to hurt. You might even lose your vision for a bit, but you have to do it: you have to go outside. Face your fears, Highlanders. Here are two ways to reconnect with nature for those in dire need of some digital detox.

It’s summertime and … you’re still feeling the crushing exhaustion of essays, projects and finals … That doesn’t make any sense! It’s summer! Now is not the time to be stressed and tired. Unfortunately, burnout does not disappear on a whim. It must be taken care of intentionally and consistently. I know. It sucks. You’ve got this, though! The road to burnout recovery is easier than you might think.

People in situationships are simply addicted masoc People in situationships are simply addicted masochists with minor romantic tendencies.

In all my years of living, I've had both the privilege and misfortune of experiencing a modern form of emotional hell - the situationship. It's the strange combination of two people acting like they re in love without ever fully committing, surviving on mixed signals, no boundaries and an endless cycle of "What are we?" conversations that have no coherent answers.
