This week's 10 Things moves between the monumental and the microscopic. Yayoi Kusama's landmark retrospective opens in September. If you're an early bird, now is the time to book.
From there we go from font tools to TED talks, street art to vibe coding, and one carousel on the internet that has absolutely no right to be this good.
Enjoy,
