The $Millions Smile: Why the Mona Lisa NFT Sold for a Fortune
The Rise of NFTs: Owning the Unownable An NFT, or Non‑Fungible Token, is essentially a digital certificate of authenticity stored on a blockchain. Unlike a JPEG you can right‑click and save, an NFT proves ownership — not of the image itself in most cases, but of a unique, verifiable token tied to it. Think of it as owning a signed baseball card versus a cheap reprint; the picture may be the same, but the proof of originality is where the value lies.

Vents Magazine Guest Post: The Power of Music in Connecting Hearts
Music has a way of weaving itself into the fabric of our lives, stitching together moments of joy, sorrow, and everything in between. It’s more than just sound—it’s a universal language that speaks to the soul, transcending borders, cultures, and time. As someone who’s always found solace in a good melody, I’ve seen firsthand how music can bring people together, spark conversations, and even heal wounds. In a world that often feels divided, music remains a steadfast bridge, connecting hearts in ways words alone cannot.

Thank You, Chrollo
Spoilers for the Hunter x Hunter anime and manga! — Chrollo Lucilfer Chrollo is one of the most beloved villains in Hunter x Hunter, and for good reason. He is a very mysterious and interesting character in how tricky he can be to understand, so I want to preface this analysis by saying that all of the following is just my opinion and my personal interpretation of Chrollo’s character—unlike my Makima analysis, which is all fact. (She told me herself.)

The First Film to Win an Oscar: Wings (1927)
Before the glitz of the red carpet, before Meryl Streep collected her first golden statue, and before movies spoke a single word—there was Wings. In a time when cinema was still discovering its voice, one film soared above the rest and etched its name into history. Wings (1927) wasn’t just the first Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards—it was a breathtaking war epic that proved film could be more than entertainment. It could be art.
