Gold’s Glamour & Bitcoin’s Bid ✨

by

The newspapers are quite abuzz with figures, stating that 2025 stands to be the fourth most enthusiastic year this century for institutional gold accumulation. Deutsche Bank, a name of some consequence, informs us that gold now accounts for approximately 24% of central bank reserves, a proportion not observed since the days of the nineteen-nineties. Such figures naturally explain why governments, having briefly entertained other notions, are now returning to the tried and true. It seems a prudent, if rather predictable, course of action.

Spartacus: House of Ashur Creator Reveals If The Supernatural Will Appear In the Show

by

I recently read a fascinating interview with Steven S. DeKnight, the showrunner for Spartacus: House of Ashur (he also worked on Daredevil!), and it really got me thinking. He discussed the possibility of introducing more supernatural themes into the show, and – this is the big one – he finally addressed whether Spartacus is really gone in this new timeline. It was a great read for any fan, and I’m so curious to see where he takes the story!

by

Adam Sandler shared a story about meeting Ariana Grande while she was dating Mac Miller. Sandler, along with his wife and daughters (who are big Ariana Grande fans), attended the meeting. He recalled that his family loved Grande’s cover of “I Won’t Say I’m in Love” from Disney’s Hercules, playing it constantly after it was released, and even praised the song’s composer, Alan Menken. While Grande herself barely remembers recording the song, calling that time a “pandemic blackout,” Sandler definitely does.

Critics Say Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 Is a Clunker

by

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 takes place a year after the first movie, and follows Mike (Josh Hutcherson), Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail), and Abby (Piper Rubio) as they continue to grapple with the frightening events from their time at the pizza place. According to Bilge Ebiri of Vulture, the film’s focus on trauma feels overdone, as many horror movies now rely heavily on it. He notes that older horror films could scare audiences with simpler concepts, like a masked killer or a monster, but those days seem to be gone.
