It would be impos­si­ble to under­stand West­ern civ­i­liza­tion with­out under­stand­ing the his­to­ry of Chris­tian­i­ty. But in order to do that, it may serve us well to think of it as the his­to­ry of Chris­tian­i­ties, plur­al.

But its sur­viv­ing texts may sound uncan­ni­ly famil­iar, despite also involv­ing out­landish-sound­ing ele­ments that seem to belong to anoth­er…

After a couple of years of navigating through the weird yet endearing filmography of Nathan Hill, I’ve grown fond of the actor/producer/director.

Hill is a creator of worlds, and his uncompromised vision has become the staple of his movies. It could take long to understand his style, but once you digest several of his movies, you will get Hill. Bitter Desire is one of his latest, and a great example of Hill doing what he does…

Strive Asset Management is pushing back against MSCI’s latest proposal. The index provider suggested removing companies with bitcoin holdings over 50% of total assets from major equity benchmarks. In a letter to MSCI CEO Henry Fernandez, Strive warned the plan could create uneven results worldwide. Companies report bitcoin differently under U.S. GAAP and IFRS accounting standards. Strive said this could lead to inconsistent outcomes for firms with similar exposure. The Nasdaq-listed firm urged MSCI to rely on optional “ex-digital-asset treasury” index variants instead of redefining eligibility for broad benchmarks. These custom indexes already exist for sectors like energy and tobacco.…
