On a drizzly Saturday morning late last month, the basement of the New Paltz United Methodist Church filled with old lamps, blunt knives, malfunctioning sound mixers and balky zippers. About a dozen volunteers welcomed the broken goods and their owners to a worldwide movement that’s evangelizing new relationships between people and their things. Repair Cafes — free events where volunteers with technical know-how help neighbors fix myriad household items — are part of a new brand of anticonsumerism that’s trying to offer an alternative to the mass-produced disposable goods that have dominated the global economy for the last half-century.

There is no spoon—at least not on the stock market. Until now. Bending Spoons has filed for an initial public offering. The Italian company, based in Milan, is somewhat secretive, but owns several high-profile brands, including AOL, Vimeo, and Eventbrite. Bending Spoons takes its name from a scene in the film The Matrix, in which a character is asked to bend a spoon with their mind. Now, the question is whether the IPO could bend the markets to raise some serious funding. As for what it actually does? “Our Playbook would be simple: acquire digital businesses, implement deep transformations and…
Published June 8, 2026 12:38PMI have to be honest: I love meat. I especially love grilled chicken, blackened salmon, or a tender slab of filet mignon. I attempted to go vegetarian in college, but that seven-month stint ended when I showed up to Thanksgiving dinner at my grandma’s house. It was tough to get enough non-meat protein on a university campus, and I found myself feeling tired, irritable, and just unlike myself. I also noticed I was catching colds pretty frequently, which is a classic sign of protein deficiency. But contrary to what I and likely many others have assumed…

Magicians: The Devil’s Deal came out of left field and is now one of my most…
