令班雅明（以及他所推崇的超現實主義者，他們的「唯物主義形而上學」也令他著迷）如此著迷的巴黎拱廊，正是現代購物中心的原型，是19世紀的「原始形態」。
臺北市立美術館（北美館）舉辦的超現實主義：對話中的世界特展，展期自2026年4月25日至8月30日止。本展由德國圖賓根文化交流協會策劃，匯集達利、馬格利特及大衛林區等近60位國際藝術家、逾120件經典與當代作品，引領觀眾探索夢境與潛意識的無垠想
對布紐爾而言，超現實主義不只是關於夢境，更是一種對抗權威與壓抑的創作態度。
蘋論：九二共識是一中共識
《人民日報》評論文章稱，希望兩岸關係能繼續在九二共識的政治基礎上，維持穩定發展。中國涉台人士表示，球在蔡英文的手上，應對九二共識做出明確的答覆。該員還說，九二共識不只是兩岸關係的基礎，也是大陸的對台善意。此外，該員補充說，我們是在跟誰發展關係？中國不是在跟另一個國家發展關係，兩岸不是國與國的關係。評論也恐嚇說，台灣新領導人的維持現狀只是空話，屆時產生的責任後果，要由民進黨當局承擔。
想把台灣拉進框架
北京為什麼緊咬九二共識？因為九二共識就是一中共識。現階段中國無力統一台灣，為防台灣藉某個機會（如中國內亂等）突然宣布獨立、也防美日在機會來臨時慫恿台灣獨立，必須先把台灣框進一中的架構裡，使其成為既定事實。這是蔡和民進黨很難接受九二共識的原因。
蔡英文的就職演說遂成為中國的焦慮來源。蔡可能會提出中華民國憲政體制，甚至《中華民國憲法》，以表示「憲法一中」，並宣稱兩岸關係不是國與國的關係，而是特殊關係，也表示尊重九二談判的精神，但可能無法宣布遵守九二共識，因為選舉的民意顯示，多數反對國民黨的九二共識提法。蔡英文已經強調過，「民主與民意，是蔡兩岸立場的重要基礎」。

"The Deadline Effect: How to Work Like It’s the Last Minute – Before the Last Minute" by Christopher Cox explores how deadlines can influence productivity and decision-making.
Here are ten lessons from the book:
1. Deadlines Create Urgency: Deadlines instill a sense of urgency, which can drive productivity and focus. By setting clear deadlines, you can boost motivation and ensure tasks are completed in a timely manner.
2. Embrace the Pressure: The pressure of looming deadlines can lead to heightened creativity and problem-solving abilities. Embracing this pressure can help you perform at your best when it counts.
3. Break Tasks into Smaller Goals: To manage large projects effectively, break them down into smaller, manageable tasks with their own deadlines. This approach can make the overall project feel less overwhelming and help maintain progress.
4. Use Deadlines as Motivational Tools: Setting internal deadlines for yourself or your team can enhance motivation and accountability. Even when external deadlines are not imposed, self-imposed deadlines can create a sense of urgency.
5. Avoid Procrastination: Procrastination often leads to last-minute stress and rushed work. By addressing tasks proactively and setting interim deadlines, you can avoid the pitfalls of procrastination.
6. Prioritize and Focus: Deadlines force you to prioritize tasks and focus on what is most important. Clearly define your priorities and allocate your time and resources accordingly to meet deadlines effectively.
7. Monitor Progress Regularly: Regularly track your progress toward meeting deadlines. This helps you stay on course and make adjustments as needed to ensure that you’re on track to complete tasks on time.
8. Plan for Contingencies: Build in some buffer time for unexpected challenges or setbacks. Effective deadline management involves anticipating potential obstacles and having a plan in place to address them.
9. Learn from Deadline-Driven Experiences: Reflect on past experiences with deadlines to understand what worked well and what didn’t. Use these insights to improve your time management and deadline strategies in the future.
10. Balance Deadlines with Well-Being: While deadlines can drive productivity, it’s important to balance them with your well-being. Avoid overworking yourself and ensure that you’re managing stress effectively to maintain overall health and performance.
These lessons from "The Deadline Effect" highlight the powerful role that deadlines play in shaping productivity and performance. By leveraging deadlines effectively and managing them strategically, you can enhance your efficiency and achieve your goals with greater success.
