qfx Jeff, bless his heart, warns that this data manipulation is the equivalent of serving champagne without the bubbles-all fizz, no substance. 🥂✖️ It masks the true scale of market volatility, leaving everyone in a tizzy. One wonders if these exchanges are simply too busy polishing their facades to bother with honesty. After all, darling, in this game of financial charades, the only thing more volatile than the market is the truth. 🎭💰
Disney+ is reportedly working on an animated series based on the popular book “Artemis Fowl,” according to a post by MyTimeToShineHello on X (formerly Twitter).

Behold, the cryptic musings of the enigmatic MMBTtrader, who, with the gravitas of a prophet, proclaims that PEPE’s fall was but a prelude to a grander tragedy. “The decline was expected,” they write, “but not so swift, so merciless!” A reset, they claim, is what the meme coin needed-a baptism by fire, though the flames may yet consume it. 🧠💸
This resurgence unfurled its banners even as the broader market, resembling a tempestuous sea, dallied with figures such as Bitcoin lurking near $122,500. The entire crypto market capitalization lingered around $4.23 trillion, whimsically down about 1% in a fortnight span. The fickleness of finance, indeed! 🌊
The latest plot twist comes from 21Shares, who filed a new ETF designed to track XRP’s price using the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate (XRPUSD_NY)-a fancy-sounding benchmark that’s all the rage among institutional investors. You know, the ones who wear suits, drink overpriced coffee, and pretend to understand the market. 😏
Following his well-received character work in *Friendship*, Robinson’s new HBO comedy, *The Chair Company*, feels like a natural progression. The show centers on Ron Trosper, a dedicated husband and father who strives to appear capable both at work and at home. Initially, Ron seems genuinely successful in this effort, enjoying respect from his colleagues and the unwavering support of his wife, Barb (Lake Bell), and children, Natalie (Sophia Lillis) and Seth (Will Price). He’s leading a major mall project in Canton, Ohio, for Fisher Robay, and things are going well. However, at the project’s kickoff event, a seemingly minor incident quickly changes everything. While sitting down, the chair Ron is using collapses, causing him to fall and become publicly humiliated – and this moment sets the entire plot of *The Chair Company* in motion.
Elsbeth frequently sets her stories in workplaces filled with underlying conflict, and the season premiere is no exception. The victim, Scotty Bristol – a popular late-night talk show host and generally unpleasant person – is played by Stephen Colbert. Scotty is portrayed as a difficult boss: he’s rude to his employees, doesn’t prepare for interviews, and intentionally mocks the jokes his writers come up with, making sure they witness his dismissive behavior.
The action resumes immediately with Robbie cornered and Tom urging him to give up. Jayson initiates a gunfight, leading to a spectacular and visually impressive battle in the woods – a chaotic chase through valleys, streams, and tangled roots. Robbie manages to kill one of the Dark Hearts, but Kathleen, Tom’s supervisor, is wounded. Aleah lives up to her nickname, “Bullseye,” proving to be a skilled sharpshooter. Eventually, Robbie and Jayson come face-to-face. During the struggle, Robbie throws the drugs into the river, seemingly relieved to be rid of them. He furiously shouts at Jayson while nearly strangling him, only stopping when he realizes he’s been stabbed. Tom intervenes, trying to get Robbie to a hospital, but Robbie tragically dies before they can reach it. It’s a powerful and well-acted death scene, thanks to Tom Pelphrey’s performance, but it feels strange to remove such a strong actor so close to the show’s conclusion, seemingly to change the central conflict.
Look, sometimes you just want a movie that *feels* good, right? These ten romantic films are exactly that – pure escapism.
