Today we announce a landmark global partnership of the leading contemporary cultural institutions @MuseumModernArt @mplusmuseum & @CentrePompidou. This cultural alliance, founded in collection sharing, research collaboration, & synergistic bridges between the institutions may stand as a guiding example to the art community and to the world.

Fantia has reversed its new content restrictions after only 10 days. After consulting legal authorities, the company returned to its previous rules and apologized for the confusion and panic caused by the announcement. However, many creators had already spent days censoring their work, removing content, and permanently deleting parts of their portfolios to comply. In many cases, those changes cannot be undone. As a result, many artists and fans in the anime and Japanese art community feel trust in the platform has been seriously damaged. Creators are now considering leaving Fantia.

The announcement of a girls-only Valorant 5v5 tournament has caused some backlash. The event offers a 5000 VP prize per team and is only open to biological female players. People are upset about two things: First, the poster was made with AI. Many say the organizers should have hired real artists from the big Valorant art community instead. Second, the rule that keeps out trans women. This has led to claims of transphobia and calls to boycott the event.

Anyway im bored of this helldiver 2 community shit so this is the last shit imma say game has so many problem devs in baby weenie hut jr (see img attached) Whinediver are delusional and cant understand that "hiveguard AP4" is even close of a problem to "netcode problem and other game breaking bug" and will cry about absolutely everything while Glazediver is as delusional as whinedivers, they are just different side of the same coin actual criticism and concern gets swept away because of whinedivers glorifying every single problem as game ending and glazediver denying any problem ever existed, as someone who has opinion that doesnt come from youtuber telling you how to feel and instead play the game so i can see the pros and cons of the patch, this obviously sucks game is still fun. when game work, game really fun! like the majority i spend time playing the game instead of being a obnoxious miserable mf in twitter or reddit (either performative or genuine) the HD2 art community is still peak af, lots of good stuff and prob the best part about the community game would probably die if the dev doesnt do something and if the community stop enabling whine and glaze divers. Hopefully far far west and the new DRG game can be a big enough competitor that AH for once again lock TF in and that being said, at least we arent Destiny 2, i feel sorry for those people, the thought of HD2 being too big that they have to erase content off the game is scary

What she did next defied all expectations. When Alice Walton stepped into her massive inheritance from Walmart, she became one of the wealthiest women on the planet, sitting atop a fortune that currently rivals the GDP of entire nations. Most people look at a number that large and see a score to be guarded—a hoard to be protected at all costs. But Alice looked at her billions and saw a powerful tool to change the world. Alice was born in 1949 and grew up watching her father, Sam Walton, transform a small, dusty five-and-dime store into a global retail empire. Her father was famously frugal, driving an old pickup truck even when he became one of the richest men in the world. When he passed away in 1992, he left his children a massive mountain of capital. While her brothers, Jim and Rob, stepped straight into the corporate boardrooms to keep the family business thriving, Alice chose a path that was much less predictable. Her heart was never under the bright fluorescent lights of a department store. Her eyes were always drawn to the walls instead of the balance sheets. "Art was always a lifeline for me, a way to see the world through a completely different lens," Alice once shared when reflecting on her childhood. She started collecting art at a young age, but she eventually realized that keeping beautiful things locked away in a private living room didn't do the world any good. In 2011, she shocked the global art community by opening the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas. It was a massive 1.2 billion dollar gamble, and big-city critics in New York and London initially laughed at the idea. They couldn't understand why world-class masterpieces by iconic artists like Andy Warhol, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Jackson Pollock were being sent to a tiny town of 50,000 people in the rural Ozarks. They dismissed it as a billionaire’s expensive hobby. Alice ignored the critics completely. She had a vision that was radical in its simplicity. "Why shouldn't a kid from a rural trailer park have the same access to the soul of American culture as a socialite living on the Upper East Side?" she noted before the opening. To make sure that dream came true, she made a bold decision: admission to the museum would be completely free for everyone. The gamble paid off in a huge way. Since the doors opened, over six million people have walked through the halls of Crystal Bridges. It didn't become a playground for elite critics. Instead, it filled up with local school groups, working families, and travelers who finally had a reason to stop in rural Arkansas. By removing the price tag, Alice tore down the invisible wall that usually separates everyday people from high culture, proving that art belongs to everyone, not just the wealthiest zip codes. But her ambition didn't stop with art. Recently, she turned her attention from the spirit to the body, addressing a major crisis facing rural America: a desperate shortage of doctors. She founded the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine in her home state. To build a healthcare system that actually serves forgotten communities, she made another incredible announcement. For the first classes of the school's operation, the students would pay absolutely zero tuition. "We have to change how we think about medicine," she stated during the development of the school. "It is about teaching new doctors to focus on whole-health, treating the entire person rather than just the disease, and making sure they can afford to practice where they are needed most." Alice's story isn't a traditional rags-to-riches tale, and her philanthropy doesn't magically erase the deep public debates about wealth inequality or corporate labor practices. However, her choices provide a fascinating lesson in what it means to live with intention. For many ultra-wealthy individuals, money is an addiction where the hunger only grows the more you consume. They spend their entire lives trying to turn billions into even more billions, trapped in a loop of endless accumulation. Alice broke that cycle. She saw that while wealth can trap you in wanting more and more, it can also help free someone else. She knew that the real worth of money is not in keeping it, but in giving it away.
