Netflix’s dating shows haven’t been very successful at creating couples who stay together – most of the pairs don’t last after the cameras stop rolling. However, that doesn’t stop viewers from hoping their favorite contestants find love.
Embark Studios has announced exciting plans for 2026, starting with a wave of new content early in the year. Players can look forward to new enemies, challenging gameplay, and a brand-new map to explore.
Less than a week before New Year’s Day, and just before Mahmood Mamdani was set to become New York City’s first Muslim mayor, we visited him and his wife, Nair, at their apartment in Morningside Heights. The apartment, owned by Columbia University where Mamdani has taught since 1999, overlooked a snowy Manhattan. It was filled with family who had recently arrived from India and East Africa, as well as books, photos, and art. Everyone had enjoyed bagels and lox from Zabar’s and was looking through hats, preparing for the frigid temperatures expected on Inauguration Day.
Neal Kumar, Polymarket’s chief legal officer (and presumably the person who gets to say “Objection!” in a dramatic courtroom voice), announced that the firm has filed a federal lawsuit. Why? Because apparently, Massachusetts doesn’t know its place. Kumar quipped, “Congress gave the CFTC, not states, exclusive authority over event contracts. These are national markets with critical questions that must be resolved in federal court. Racing to state court to try to shut down Polymarket US is like showing up to a blockchain party with a flip phone-it’s just not going to fly.”
Okay, so I just finished binging the latest Wonder Man episode on Disney+, and wow, it’s officially the shortest Marvel show episode ever. Episode 5, “Found Footage,” came in at only 25 minutes and 23 seconds! It just barely beat out a She-Hulk episode – “Superhuman Law” – which used to hold the record at around 30 minutes. It’s definitely a quick watch!

Recent exchange flow data is about as reassuring as a dentist appointment. After a brief moment of balance, net inflows have gone full Mariah Carey-millions of XLM tokens are flooding centralized exchanges faster than you can say “sell-off.” This isn’t a cozy accumulation party; it’s a fire sale, and everyone’s grabbing their coats. Historically, this kind of behavior has been the crypto equivalent of a raincloud-not a great sign for immediate reversals.
A new approach combines the broad analytical power of artificial intelligence with human judgment to proactively identify and mitigate systemic risks posed by rapidly evolving AI technologies.
Nasdaq-listed DeFi Technologies Inc. has summoned from the shadow a new index meant to capture how regulated capital is coursing through the digital asset market. The birth occurred via its offspring Valour Inc. and Valour Digital Securities Ltd., guardians of one of the planet’s largest regulated stages for crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs).
