just now (1553+ words) TikTok processes over 140 billion video views every month. But here's what most creators miss: nearly 40% of Gen Z now uses TikTok as their primary search engine, not Google. Let that sink in for a second. While everyone's obsessing over the For You Page algorithm, there's an entire search ecosystem on TikTok that most brands completely ignore. And honestly? That's leaving a massive amount of discovery potential on the table. I've spent the past year analyzing what actually works for TikTok search optimization. Not the theory. Not what some guru said in a course. What actually moves the needle when you check the analytics on Tuesday morning. Here's what I've learned. TikTok's search has gotten surprisingly sophisticated.

The show, Beckmann,is a rarity for the artist, focusing solely on his drawing in 80 works, including loans from major collections on both sides of the Atlantic. The warstrongly affected Beckmann, with his experience as a medic leading to an apparent breakdown in 1915. But the conflict also made him a major artist by wholly reconfiguring his art. His hard-edged signature style firstemerged inhis drawing, Freyberger says, and coincided with a new approach to drawings generally,which by the 1920s hadgonefrom painting studies toautonomous works of art. In 1925, Beckmann divorced his first wife, the opera singer Minna Tube, and married the Bavarian-born Mathilde "Quappi" von Kaulbach, who became his lasting muse. In a 1928 drawing of Quappi holding a candle,…...

What I can talk to is the gameplay, and Tribute Games have absolutely knocked it out of the park with MARVEL Cosmic Invasion. Combat is fast, fluid and snappy, and no matter who we play as from the 16-strong roster it remains accessible yet robust in action. Each of the characters have a distinct feel to them, from Spiderman's fast combos and swing ability to She-Hulk's more lumbering but powerful style. Wolverine will be an early favourite I'm sure as he balances both speed and power, and comes equipped with a fantastic grapple attack that clears…...

It features work from more than 30 artists inside the 6,000-square-foot gallery and on mural walls. There's also a cafe and shop where one could buy, say, spray paint to tag the gallery's outer walls. On opening day, visitors painted robots, band names, eyeballs and Labubus in all colors and sizes. Friends lifted friends up on shoulders to add finishing touches. Children gleefully sprayed purples and reds back and forth with wild abandon. "I love that there's different calibers of artists here," Antonio Delgado said as he watched his family attack the walls. "[There are] some new artists, some younger artists and…...
