On the one side, American voters, especially young American voters, are aghast at Israel’s brutality. On the other side, America’s geopolitical position is crumbling. We owe an ironic debt of Continue reading »

Moscow would have us believe it is fighting a life and death struggle in the muddy trenches of Donbas. But what do we get to see on the inauguration of its president?

Hello, Architectural Digest. I am an A-list celebrity who has agreed to show millions of people the inside of my home—an intimate place that few eyes have ever seen… except this isn’t my home, because I don’t actually live here. In this episode of Open Door, I will give you a tour of a giant estate that I own but have never visited until today. Watch me pretend that I had any input on the decor while my interior designer stands behind the camera and tells me what to say.

My architect accomplished the incredible feat of making this room feel completely lifeless. If you look closely, you’ll see inspiration from both Claude Perrault and sensory deprivation chambers.
