In this 10Things issue, we explore the tension between what’s lost and what’s emerging—from forgotten corners of the early internet to new ways of thinking about creativity, capital, and connection. Discover why Amsterdam remains a haven for book lovers and design minds, why ‘soft skills’ may be the hardest to master, and how we might rethink social media, positivity, and even what we value as broken. Plus, we share the exhibitions to catch this May and a postcard from the world’s oldest restaurant.
Enjoy, Your Majesty
