Their campuses signal permanence. Their laboratories produce knowledge that can alter the course of medicine, technology and public policy. Yet behind the architecture and the intellectual authority lies a financial model that is far less stable than it appears. American higher education runs on a continuous search for funding, and that search helps explain why one of the most discredited financiers in recent history was able to enter the orbit of some of the world’s most respected universities.Documents recently released by the United States Department of Justice, have renewed scrutiny of the relationships that institutions such as Harvard University, Massachusetts…

Crypto is kind of like email in the 90s. 👉 At first, it was this magical thing. Instantly send something across the world. 👉 Then people realized… oh. Spam exists. Phishing exists. Scams exist. The tech didn’t change. Humans just started using it differently. That’s basically what this one recent report is showing – except instead of spam, we’re talking about something way darker. Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis published new data showing that crypto flowing into networks linked to human trafficking increased about 85% in 2025 compared to the year before. Let that sink in. We’re talkin’ hundreds of millions…

The expres­sion “Don’t quit your day job” is often used as an insult, imply­ing that the recip­i­en­t’s cre­ative skills aren’t up to attract­ing a career-sup­port­ing audi­ence. But it can also be prac­ti­cal advice in cer­tain cas­es, espe­cial­ly those of artists pos­sessed of a sen­si­bil­i­ty too par­tic­u­lar and strange to bear direct expo­sure to the mar­ket­place. So it was with Hen­ry Darg­er, who delib­er­ate­ly passed his 81 years in near-absolute obscu­ri­ty, work­ing increas­ing­ly menial jan­i­to­r­i­al jobs by day and, when not attend­ing one of his five dai­ly mass­es, obsess­ing over his art the rest of the time. That art took var­i­ous…

There are often projects whose complexity and importance I find difficult to fathom. How does one, for instance, distill the history of Black film into 100 titles? How does one define “Black” separately and in conjunction with “film”? Should a movie be helmed by a Black director to be considered a Black work? What about movies with majority Black casts but whose protagonist is white? What if the film hails from a part of the diaspora that doesn’t view itself as Black? With his latest book, The World of Black Film: A Journey Through Cinematic Blackness in 100 Films, programmer…

Many years ago, Greg Cherone and John Bettencourt got together with an idea to turn William Shakespeare’s most tragic of tragedies into a Rock Opera. The tragedy in question is MacBeth, one of his most well-known works. Greg and John got through a number of songs in the first Act done, but the project was shelved for years collecting dust and going no where. That was until a new collaborator was brought in who had a background in musical theater, Greg’s cousin, Robert Clapp Jr. Greg asked Robert to work on one song called “A Dangerous Thing” and after that…
