As a seasoned reader with a penchant for unraveling the intricacies of human nature, I must say that this week’s Vulture column has left me utterly spellbound! From the enigmatic world of Diddy to the captivating tale of four friends and their literary indiscretions, each story is as fascinating as the next.
In the second-most popular article of the year titled “Four Friends, Two Marriages, One Affair — and a Shelf of Books Dissecting It,” author Chris Heath portrays the narrative as one filled with “upheaval, enlightenment, transformation, harm, optimism, deceit, animosity, happiness.” This year in our New York realm was similarly characterized by more unmasked roguish personalities, a surge of interest in Megalopolis, the unsettling advance of artificial intelligence, and the energizing prevalence of Brat (the album) and bratty attitudes.
This year’s most significant cultural shifts are reflected in our top 20 most-viewed articles, a list compiled by adding up the total time our visitors spent interacting with these posts. However, this list could change following the widespread cinema release of Babyferatunknown on Christmas Day. For now, we’re proud to present this selection, which showcases the cultural zeitgeist of 20XX.
For an enhanced storytelling experience, we suggest giving the freshly launched NYC App a try. It ensures that you’ll never have to worry about being logged out!
