In the director’s statement for her searing new documentary “Nuestra Tierra (Our Land),” acclaimed Argentine auteur Lucrecia Martel writes, “This film works with our mother tongue and its racist complexities, which prevent many from accessing a vital space.

A historical document is the script of a scene that never existed, but that suits those who sign it. Here, cinema can be useful.” With this essential anti-colonial film, Martel uses the language of cinema, personal photography, and memory to highlight…

At the end of April, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani proposed delaying pension plan contributions to help close the Big Apple’s budget deficit.   The problem is that while delaying pension payments could free up $1 billion in the short term, the budget gap is $5.4 billion. This flawed strategy highlights a much larger problem: the Big Apple’s biggest budget pains are self-inflicted.  Kicking the can down the road on mandatory pension contributions still leaves a massive hole in the budget while hurting public employees (many of whom helped propel Mamdani into office) and placing greater burdens on New York’s…

Bitcoin price broke above $81,000 during Asian trading hours and early U.S. hours today, its highest price since late January and the latest sign that the market has moved past a brutal first-quarter stretch that bottomed near $60,000.  The move came on the back of several forces hitting at once: a flood of institutional money into ETFs, a shift in Middle East tensions, and a derivatives market that had been loading up for a run past $80,000 for weeks. The structural setup for this was built in April. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $2.44 billion in net inflows last…

This is a contributor content by Tal Elyashiv, Founder of SPiCE VC.When the White House said digital assets would ‘take off like a rocket ship’ once the CLARITY Act passes, markets reacted the way markets do: Bitcoin rallied, commentary flooded in, and the word ‘historic’ appeared in approximately every third headline. I’ve been investing in blockchain infrastructure since 2017. My read is more measured.Legislation matters. But the question serious investors should be asking isn’t whether the CLARITY Act passes, it’s whether the underlying market structure is ready to absorb what clarity is supposed to enable.The CLARITY Act, if enacted as currently drafted,…
