I was so excited to hear about the Chrono Trigger Orchestral Arrangement – Melodies Across Time album! It’s basically the music from Chrono Trigger performed by the orchestra from the 30th Anniversary Concert. If you’re in Japan, you can grab the CD for 3,800 Yen plus tax, and in North America, it’s $32.99 on the Square Enix store. They have an official English website with all the details, which you can find here. Right now, though, it’s only available to download – no streaming, unfortunately. You can find links to buy it digitally here, and the prices will vary depending on where you are. It’s currently around $12.90. If you’re trying to find it on iTunes and it’s not showing up yet, don’t worry, just give it a few hours to update in your region.
You’ve probably seen Disneyland’s Evil Queen online, even if you haven’t visited the park. A video of a guest interacting with her went viral in 2019, and she became an instant internet favorite.
Recently, Bitcoin’s price hopped above the $95,000 mark on the Bitstamp exchange, as if it were showing off at a high school prom. But! It’s been having trouble grabbing onto the $96,000 milestone – perhaps shy or maybe just playing hard to get. Still, it’s roughly 25% below its all-time, ‘I-can-buy-an-island’ high, so don’t start planning that yacht just yet. 🚤
After facing censorship for a racially-charged episode of his earlier show, The Lieutenant, Gene Roddenberry conceived of Star Trek. He discovered that science fiction allowed him to explore difficult topics—like prejudice and war—without immediately raising objections from network executives. While Star Trek is full of examples of this approach, the Season 1 episode “Balance of Terror” is particularly noteworthy. It powerfully addresses war, empathy, and directly confronts racial prejudice—a first for the series. Beyond its important themes, it’s also a gripping story that feels both epic and intensely personal.
Hytale had a challenging development process, but after nearly eight years since it was first revealed, the game is now available.
New statistical methods offer a way to continuously monitor forecasts of systemic risk, flagging potential inaccuracies before they destabilize markets.
The idea of a multiverse isn’t new, but it’s recently become incredibly popular, largely thanks to a 2014 Marvel comic event. However, a month before that comic, Spider-Verse, was released, an episode of the popular Cartoon Network show Steven Universe explored the same concept, becoming the show’s highest-rated episode and arguably starting the multiverse trend in mainstream media.
Just joking! I’m really proud of Shayne and his commitment to staying sober. It’s not even a ‘California sober’ situation like with DJ James Kennedy – Shayne stopped using things like weed, mushrooms, ketamine, and DMT a long time ago. He mentioned to Marcus that he considered trying kratom, and it made me realize how out of touch I am! What are all these new drugs? It briefly crossed my mind if I should try them, but no way – that’s a terrible idea. It’s definitely good that Shayne is avoiding them too, considering his past relapse lasted two years after he started using again.
The US Supreme Court is poised to judge Trump’s tariffs this Wednesday, and everyone from Wall Street to the monkey in the street is biting their nails. 😬
