Bare wood splintered and cracked, deep streaks of crimson running through it like raw, bleeding veins. The choking scent of the ashes mingled with something deeper, something more intimate — the leather of an old armchair, the faint scent of coffee from the kitchen, the pages of old books that had been read and re-read. The blazing fire scorched our hearts with the same ferocity, turning the City of Angels into a hellscape.

In 2023, Christopher McNaughton suffered from a debilitating case of ulcerative colitis, which caused him to develop severe arthritis, diarrhea, numbing, and dangerous blood clots. Luckily, an amalgamation of drugs crafted by a Mayo Clinic specialist brought his illness under control. However, McNaughton’s case cost nearly $2 million dollars a year to maintain, which flagged him as a “high dollar account” under UnitedHealthcare’s policies. The company reviewed McNaughton’s situation and deemed that his case was not necessary, refusing to pay for the treatment.

The Michelin Guide may not visit Baltimore, but that doesn’t mean the city lacks Michelin-worthy restaurants. Baltimore’s dining scene has a quiet confidence, a mix of old-school seafood institutions and chef-driven spots that don’t need the extra fanfare. Some meals linger in memory long after the last bite, the kind that make you stop mid-conversation just to take it all in. If the Michelin Guide ever turned its gaze here, these three would be the first in line.

"Who are you?" This question, in its many variations, is almost inevitable in school applications, job interviews or introspective moments. It’s deceptively challenging to answer as our self-identity results from accumulated experience in our lifetime. We spend years, perhaps our entire lives, unraveling the intricacies of who we are.

Before its wide release, The Brutalist was framed as the cinema event of the year by passionate enthusiasts who were entranced with the mere depth it offered. The three-and-a-half-hour historical epic — intermission included — was lauded with exceptional praise from its premiere. For fans of celluloid, it’s the first film since the 1960s shot almost entirely using VistaVision, which is a super high-definition, widescreen format. Directed by actor-turned-auteur Brady Corbet, the film was shot in only 34 days and, even more impressively, was made for less than 10 million dollars. The Brutalist is not only a feat of the form but a sign that independent projects fueled by a passion for the craft could be actualized.
