SoulCycle Founders Start Peoplehood, With Workouts for the Self - NYT
SoulCycle became a phenomenon because it made its customers feel as if they were sculpting not just their bodies but their selves.

Meanwhile in El Salvador...
From The Times 4-5-22 : Nayib Bukele styles himself as “The Saviour”, which is also the name in English of the country he runs, El Salvador. His supporters, who number in the millions, are still prepared to put their faith in the youthful, maverick president who has pledged to transform his troubled country into an ultra-modern state, complete with bitcoin as a national currency, but not everyone is a believer. Fears that the 40-year-old leader, who wears a baseball cap backwards and has joked that he is “the coolest dictator in the world”, is lurching towards full-blown authoritarianism have been heightened by events over the past month. In a country of 6.5 million people, 20,000 have been arrested over a period of 33 days, the government said.

Peter Bogdanovich's Late Anachronism
"Squirrels to the Nuts," the director's cut of Peter Bogdanovich's final film, reveals the director's radical retrogradation.
Adorno’s conception of a “late style that involves a nonharmonious, nonserene tension, and above all, a sort of deliberately unproductive productiveness.”2 He admired a certain type of creatively intransigent antagonism that emerged only in an artist’s final years, “a moment when the artist who is fully in command of his medium nevertheless abandons communication with the established social order of which he is a part and achieves a contradictory, alienated relationship with it.”3

Do Antidepressants Really Work?
While the drugs are widely used, a new study sheds light on how little is known about their long-term benefits.

pills are often easier and cheaper: It can be hard for people to access therapy because there aren’t enough providers, and mental health treatments often aren’t fully covered by insurance.

Mary Ellen Mark — Tiny, Seattle, 1983
Mary Ellen Mark's skill was “to be able to pull things from reality, to see what’s strange and real”. Her Seattle story focused on a group of teenagers, some as young as 13, who had run away from home and were surviving selling drugs or by selling themselves for sex. She stayed involved with them in different ways. She tried to adopt one 13-year-old girl, Tiny, a sex worker, to remove her from the place; when that did not succeed, Mark worked with her husband, film-maker Martin Bell, to make a documentary that drew attention to these children’s lives. She stayed in touch with Tiny and the other kids throughout her life.
