The largest auction ever by Sotheby's in Asia of a single owner's art collection had been expected to raise $95 million to $135 million, but fetched $69.5 million as 10 items went unsold. Rising interest rates may have affected prices. nytimes.com/2023/10/05/busin…

RIP the great Victor Navasky: “I think it was Walter Cronkite who used to end his nightly newscasts by saying, ‘That’s the way it is.’ Well, I wanted to put out a magazine which would say: ‘That’s not the way it is at all. Let’s take another look.’”

As Russia's invasion of Ukraine stalled, its television propaganda fired on all cylinders. In recent months we went through 1000s of emails from Russia's biggest state broadcaster to learn how. It was a master class in constructing an alternative reality. nytimes.com/2022/12/15/techn…

via @LiYuan6 By standing up to the government, they defied the perception of their generation. Some older Chinese people said the protesters made them feel more hopeful about the country’s future.
In my interview with more than a dozen young Chinese protesters, I heard of a burst of pent-up anger and frustration with how the gov't implements “zero Covid.” But their anger and despair goes beyond that, all the way to questioning the rule of Mr. Xi. nytimes.com/2022/11/29/busin…
