This short film from director Milo Chiavarino captures something rare: a science fiction story that feels both deeply intimate and unsettlingly plausible.

📍 São Miguel, Azores 02/14/26
As the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches, a shadow has fallen over the "United" bid. While FIFA and the White House promote a "seamless and secure" event, civil rights groups and international observers are issuing a different kind of briefing: a Travel Alert for foreign visitors.
The core of the concern isn't the stadium security, it's the role of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which federal officials recently dubbed a "key pillar" of the tournament’s security apparatus. For the first time in World Cup history, fans are being warned that a valid ticket and visa may not be enough to prevent an encounter with immigration enforcement. READ FULL ARTICLE >>>

Category: Azorean Classics / Seafood Petisco
If you've ever found yourself gazing at the dramatic black volcanic rocks of the Azores, you've likely seen them: clinging steadfastly to the tide-washed stone, the humble Lapa (limpet).
These small, conical shellfish are more than just a mollusk; they are the taste of the islands, a briny kiss from the Atlantic itself.
Lapas Grelhadas grilled limpets sizzling in garlic butter, and a hint of Massa de Pimentão (red pepper paste) are the ultimate Azorean petisco.
Forget forks; here, you use a small, dedicated tool (or a strong thumbnail!) to pry the tender meat from its shell, then soak up the last drops of that glorious, garlicky sauce with a chunk of fresh Papo Seco.
The key is to use the freshest limpets possible, scrape them directly from the rock (if you’re lucky enough to be foraging!), and cook them quickly until the butter is bubbling and fragrant. Overcooking turns them tough. READ RECIPE >>>

A Brutal, Beautiful Dive Into the Mind of Marvel’s Most Broken Hero
Moon Knight has worn many faces over the years: superhero, Avenger, priest, and monster, but this new volume strips away the supernatural pomp to remind us of the man beneath the white mask.
Writer Jed MacKay and artist Alessandro Cappuccio have reunited to deliver a debut issue that feels less like a superhero comic and more like a psychological crime thriller bleeding out onto the pavement of New York City. The Midnight Mission is gone, the vampires are in the rearview mirror, and all that is left is Marc Spector trying to solve a murder that the police won't touch.
The brilliance of this issue lies in its claustrophobia. By removing the grand, cosmic stakes that have defined the character recently, the creative team forces us to confront the fractured psyche of the protagonist in a very intimate way. We are back to the "street level" detective work that made the character a cult icon, but with a modern, cinematic edge. Spector isn't fighting gods here; he is breaking knuckles in alleyways and interrogating witnesses who are terrified of him. READ BLOG POST >>>

In the medieval courts of old, the Jester was the only person allowed to tell the King he was a fool without losing his head.
Fast forward to the digital age, and the stakes haven't changed; only the methods of execution have.
Instead of the axe, we have the "ban," the "demonetization," and the "content warning."At the Free Speech Guild, we believe that satire isn’t just entertainment; it’s a vital sign check for a healthy democracy. If you can’t laugh at it, you’re likely living under it.
