Good morning. 🌤️ Today, a $2 million gold tabernacle disappears from a church in Brooklyn, an unhinged man smashes ancient Greek artifacts at a Dallas Museum, a Mayan corn god head is discovered in Mexico, and much more.
I'd also like to highlight our reviews of a timely documentary about the women who fought the pre-Roe abortion bans and David Cronenberg's steamy new movie Crimes of the Future.
