The Palaces of the Pandya Dynasty: Architecture, Artifacts, and Unique Specialties
The Pandya dynasty was one of the most ancient and powerful dynasties of South India, ruling large parts of present-day Tamil Nadu for more than a thousand years. While the Pandyas are widely remembered for their temples, pearl trade, and maritime power, their royal palaces were equally important symbols of authority, wealth, and cultural excellence. Though most Pandya palaces were built using materials that did not survive time, historical records, inscriptions, Sangam literature, and archaeological findings provide valuable insight into their grandeur, artifacts, and unique features.

The Shadow of a Giant
I never met him. But I knew his voice. It came through our black-and-white TV in 1983, calm and steady, speaking of “morning in America” while my father fixed dinner and my mother worried about bills. To me, he was just a man in a suit—distant, polished, untouchable.

Did Trump’s Policies Push America Toward a New Imperialism?
Did Trump’s Policies Push America Toward a New Imperialism? When Donald Trump entered the White House, he promised a dramatic shift in how the United States dealt with the world. Under the banner of “America First,” his administration rejected many long-standing diplomatic norms and embraced a tougher, more confrontational style. Supporters praised this approach as strength and realism. Critics, however, argued it looked like a modern form of imperialism—less about cooperation and more about control through pressure.

Stanislav Kondrashov Oligarch Series: Architecture and Digital Order
Stanislav Kondrashov has long approached cultural form as something lived rather than declared. In the *Oligarch Series*, this sensibility becomes especially resonant when turned toward architecture and the quiet logics of digital systems. Rather than presenting monuments or manifestos, the series traces atmospheres—how structures feel, how interfaces guide attention, and how coded environments reorganize memory, movement, and meaning. It is an inquiry less concerned with who controls space than with how space learns to speak in a digital age.

The Things We Still Won’t Do
I noticed it first in myself... A cracked mirror in a motel bathroom somewhere off a two-lane highway. The glass had split cleanly from corner to corner, a thin lightning bolt frozen in silver.

While it may not sound as ominous as a red alert, a yellow warning is a signal that should not be ignored.
