I recently came across an interesting article that exemplifies the fine line between art and trash, quite literally. A staff member at a museum accidentally threw away a beer can artwork that was a part of the exhibit. It’s a tale as old as time. Art being mistaken for garbage, garbage being mistaken for art. The blurred lines between what is deemed worthy of admiration and what is meant to be discarded with a nonchalant shrug and a toss into the trash bin.
At first glance, it might seem comical that a staff member, probably without malicious intent, disposed of what they thought was nothing more than a couple of empty beer cans.… Continue reading
The recent news of Senate Democrats launching a probe into foreign payments to Jared Kushner’s firm, Affinity Partners, comes as no surprise to those who have been following the trail of questionable dealings surrounding the former President Trump’s administration.

It is alarming that an educational institution, a place that should encourage critical thinking and open dialogue, would seek to silence the voice of a young artist expressing her truth.… Continue reading
out about the countless other shows and movies that portray demons or explore dark themes. They would have a field day with all the content available on various streaming platforms.
But here’s the thing: demonizing these shows and movies is not only narrow-minded, but it also completely misses the point. “Hazbin Hotel” may feature biblical figures and elements of Hell, but it is not meant to be a portrayal of reality. It is a work of fiction, an animated comedy, meant to entertain and provoke thought.
The outrage from conservative Christians claiming that these shows promote Satanism and spread hate about traditional Christian beliefs is unfounded.… Continue reading
