Malört's Growing Popularity

If you've ever tried Malört, you'll find a detailed feature about it worth reading. But be warned, it may not make you want to drink it.

Expensive Banana Artwork

Sotheby's held the Now and Contemporary modern art auction, featuring Maurizio Cattelan's artwork - a banana duct-taped to a wall. It sold for over $6 million, and the buyer, Justin Sun, announced he would eat the banana in line with the artwork's concept.

The sale of this artwork gained attention not only for its price but also for the buyer's cryptocurrency payment.

Ridley Scott's Historical Epics

Ridley Scott has become well-known for his historical dramas, and his latest film, released this week, is another addition to his impressive filmography. While his films may not always be historically accurate, Scott has strong responses to critics and remains a celebrated filmmaker.
