Marshall McLuhan: Philosopher of Media
Marshall McLuhan did not study media to understand television or newspapers. He studied media to understand *us*. Long before smartphones, social media, or constant connectivity, this Canadian philosopher saw that technology does not merely deliver information—it reshapes perception, thought, and society itself. McLuhan’s ideas remain disturbingly relevant because he grasped a truth many still resist: the most powerful effects of media are invisible.

Echoes of Place and Feeling: The Art of Ida Shaghoian. AI-Generated.
Painting can be many things at once: a record of what the eye sees, a trace of what the heart remembers, and a mirror for the inner life of the viewer. In the work of Ida Shaghoian, landscape becomes a vessel for emotion rather than a literal description of terrain. Her paintings feel suspended between recognition and reverie, offering spaces that suggest hills, water, and sky while remaining open enough to hold personal meaning. What emerges is a body of work that invites contemplation, asking viewers not simply to look, but to feel.

When To Drop A Writer
Sometimes, there will arise a problem between writer and artist. There are plenty of reasons for this to happen, and when it happens, the adult thing to do is to just message the other person that you’ll be breaking off business dealings with the person and then going on to the next project. You can negotiate, especially if you have a split-profits deal, so avoid blocking them for as long as possible (although in some cases a clean break is best). Each situation is unique, so get as much advice as possible before making a rash decision. Also, remember that in business, paranoia is a good thing: Keep records of every interaction. How you’ll proceed is up to you when you decide to break up, but something needs to be done.
