I refuse to watch the Hamilton musical. It’s a strange rivalry to develop. The Red Sox-Yankees rivalry makes sense as Harry Frazee sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees to finance his own play, No No Nanette (which isn’t even that good of a play), so the Red Sox have viewed the Yankee success as...
Each year, around the end of December, children all around the world gather together with their families for the most anticipated event of their years: Kurtis Conner’s annual Christmas movie review video.

Quick! Off the top of your head, where did Albert Einstein go to college? Was it Yale? Harvard? If you said anything other than ETH Zurich or the University of Zurich then, sorry, you’re starting off this blog 0 for 1. But that’s alright! Babe Ruth struck out in his first at-bat, and he...

How does Spotify know what music sounds like? All of our Spotify Wrapped came out earlier this week and whether your most listened to artist was Daft Punk or a good musician like Olivia Rodrigo, it makes sense that the app was able to tell the genre of music that you listened to the...

Whether you have a child in kindergarten or one applying to (or attending) college, you, as a parent, are hearing and reading about some alarming reports. You may even analyze specific pieces...
