Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup Can
A Critique
Perhaps I am ignorant of how modern art works. Or just perhaps not interpreting the work of Andy Warhol correctly. But I have never understood why his painting of soup cans was so significant. And I am sure the person that created the designs for Campbells was no more impressed.

No Shelter by Rage Against the Machine
Did Rage Against the Machine own a time machine in the 1990s? I’m not saying they did, but it’s sometimes too hard to listen to their 1998 single, No Shelter, and wonder if they hadn’t just arrived back from the 2020s. Prolific lyrics or time travel. Guess we’ll never know.

Winnie the Pooh
I have shared four children's books written by A.A. Milne and his very best friend. He wrote all these stories for his son Christopher Robin. Winnie the Pooh is also known as Edward Bear or as Christopher Robin sometimes called him Silly Old Bear. There are some friendships real and imaginary that last a lifetime and this friendship is one of them.

IN-DEPTH | NPU: For Class or the Masses?
Our Sintang Paaralan is hanging on a thread with the possible approval of the National Polytechnic University (NPU) bill. The law promises additional funding for the university, which it deserves; however, whispers of potential tuition fees and compromised autonomy instilled a shadow of unease on PUPians. Will ‘sinta’ remain accessible to all or will it morph into something reserved for the privileged few?

lol - yeah Andy really got away with something here
I know nothing about nothing here. I don't even know what I don't know. Lol. Well written review!
That makes two of us. I have never really understood why people love his work so much. Well, I guess, knowing the right folks may help. LOL!
I understand that it's commentary, but once the comment's been made, do I really want to pay millions of dollars just to be able to say that I got it (which I'm thinking, by definition, means that I didn't but rather serve as the butt of the joke).
I still like his work, but I understand that it has been commodified and commercialized to such a point that it is hard to see how radical it was to point such a mundane product. Thank you for this take.
