Visa’s Stablecoin Pilot Expands to 9 Blockchains, Hits $7B Run Rate

I’m excited to share that our research into stablecoin settlements is expanding! Visa has broadened its pilot program to include five additional blockchains. This means we’re now able to test settling payments using stablecoins, offering an alternative to the traditional banking system for issuers and acquirers.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time’s Switch 2 Remake Has to Change Navi

To update the gameplay for the new Switch 2, some of the older ideas and systems in Ocarina of Time will need to be redesigned. This will likely affect the story and characters. Navi, Link’s fairy companion, is the character most closely tied to both the story and how the game is played, so she’s likely to see the biggest changes.

Hacks Recap: Send In The Clowns

Okay, so exciting news about the Ava reboot! Jessica Duncan had this amazing idea for Who’s Making Dinner? and honestly, I loved it. Now she just needs Deborah’s okay. Usually, getting Deborah on board would be the hard part, but because it’s the last season and everyone’s being so nice, Deborah gave her blessing right away! The only catch? Frank left the rights to the show to Kathy. That’s a bit of a snag, but hopefully, they can work it out!

Hacks Recap: Make ‘em Laugh

Here’s my take: anger can be a great engine for comedy, but it absolutely can’t become the whole show. And that’s exactly what’s happening with Deborah. Her new stuff, where she’s positioning herself as the ultimate victim, just isn’t connecting. She keeps saying comedy is supposed to be uncomfortable, and while that’s true to a point, Ava rightfully points out that, shockingly, people are also supposed to laugh.

Ladies of London Season-Finale Recap: God Save the Queens

I was really captivated by the first event – Myka giving an etiquette lesson! It was such a clever little detail she shared: always hold your drink or whatever you have in your left hand so your right is free for a handshake. It’s not something you immediately think of, but it makes perfect sense. Seeing Mark and Missé in the front row was interesting, especially considering their rollercoaster of a relationship throughout the season. Missé gently pressed Mark about what was going on with him and Margo, and he was hesitant to talk, wanting to keep the day positive for everyone. But eventually, he opened up and shared a really vulnerable part of his past. He described being the only openly gay student at a large all-boys school, and how terribly he was treated. He explained that he finally felt safe and himself when he graduated and found his community, but he’s always worried about letting his guard down, fearing someone like Margo could hurt him again. More than anything, he seemed embarrassed that he’d allowed himself to feel so much and that he was still affected by it all.

Bitcoin’s Dance: Will It Waltz to Glory or Stumble in the Mud?

Bitcoin Chart

Behold, the base has been formed, a fortress above $75,000, from which our protagonist launches its ascent. Yet, the journey is not without its trials. Below $77,000 it lingers, shackled by the chains of the 100 hourly simple moving average. A bearish trend line looms, a specter at $76,750, threatening to thwart its ambitions. Should it breach the $77,000 citadel, a bullish momentum may yet carry it forward, but such triumphs are never assured.
