Imagine, if you will, the consternation that ensued when the esteemed US President, Mr. Donald Trump, proclaimed a 100% tariff on Chinese imports. The market, ever so delicate, quivered like a debutante at her first soiree. Bitcoin, along with its altcoin companions, suffered a most pronounced sell-off, leading to a capitulation that left many a wallet lighter. 🧾💔
Chess Arena, created by Millions of Monsters – a studio co-founded by Botez – takes the traditional game of chess and turns it into a battle royale where 40 players compete to survive.
Bitcoin (BTC), the diva of the crypto world, has sashayed down 2.04% in the past 24 hours, now teetering near $112,500 with a market cap of $2.24 trillion. Trading volume? Still high at $85.9 billion, because apparently everyone loves a good fire sale. Ethereum (ETH) is down 1.19%, sulking at $4,124 with a market cap of $497.7 billion. And poor XRP? Down 3%, trading at $2.51. It’s like the crypto version of a bad breakup. 💔
Mabel was thrilled to tell Oliver and Charles about a special invitation she received, and they were excited for her, though their reaction focused on the idea that a gathering of women would inevitably involve lots of gossip and potentially useful information. The funniest part – what really made me laugh – was when Mabel jokingly suggested bringing tampons as party favors, and Charles immediately scolded her, telling her not to use such language.

I’m so excited about these new editions of Stephen King’s books! *The Long Walk* came out in hardcover on October 7th for $29, and *The Running Man* just released in hardcover today, October 14th. It seems like the new movies are the reason for these re-releases, which is awesome. *The Long Walk* is finally getting its first movie adaptation – it’s in theaters now! – and the second adaptation of *The Running Man* comes out November 14th. Usually, King’s books go from hardcover to paperback when the movie comes out, but these two are a little different. They skipped that usual process and went straight to new hardcover editions, which is really cool for collectors like me!

As a huge fan, it’s incredible to hear that the Borderlands franchise is likely to surpass 100 million copies sold with the release of Borderlands 4! That’s a massive achievement. But honestly, it’s cool to hear the team say they’re not stopping there – they’re aiming for something even bigger, like truly entertaining *everyone* in the world. It sounds like they’re really just beginning, and I, for one, can’t wait to see what they do next!
