GOP’s Broken Promise: 😲 CBDC Drama!
Representative Keith Self, a man clearly wrestling with an existential crisis over digital finance (or perhaps just parliamentary procedure), declared on X – a platform for profound pronouncements, naturally – that promises were “explicitly” broken. One does so adore explicit promises; they make the inevitable disappointment so much more satisfying.
Percy Jackson Is Officially Entering a New Era With a Historic Franchise First
As a big fan of the Percy Jackson books, I was honestly disappointed with the original movies – they just didn’t feel right! That’s why they only made two films, covering the first two books. But I’m so excited about the new show! It’s already matched the movies by adapting The Sea of Monsters in its second season. And now, they’ve started filming Season 3, which is amazing because it means they’re finally bringing The Titan’s Curse to life – something the movies never did! It’s a huge step for the franchise, and I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Bitcoin Betrayal? CEO Hints at Selling, Blames Dividends 😱💰
“Dividends,” he proclaimed, as if it were a sacred mantra, “are the altar upon which we must sacrifice our principles.” 🛐 “All that said,” he continued, with a gravitas that would make a Soviet bureaucrat blush, “what’s important is paying our dividends, more important than not selling Bitcoin.” One wonders if the shareholders are as amused as they are bewildered. 🤡
Engineer builds insane PC that ‘fights back’ with real weapon & weather effects
Just this year, someone managed to build a portable gaming device with a powerful 4090 graphics card, and another fan even created a complete PC themed around the character Hatsune Miku. And that’s not all – the creativity keeps coming!
Survivor Recap: Sophie’s Choice
Early in the episode, Soph (I’ll keep calling her that for simplicity) repeatedly mentioned wanting to target Savannah and Rizo, but wasn’t sure when to do it. Based on that, I predicted Savannah would win immunity, putting Soph at risk. I also thought Steven would use his advantage, and Soph would try to get it from him at Tribal Council using her own power. Everything played out exactly as I expected – except for who actually got voted off.
Southern Charm Recap: The Wrong Stuff
He’s wrong to think Shep will jump in to defend Craig, because Craig isn’t the victim here – he’s the one who blew a small disagreement out of proportion and is now threatening to ruin Whitner’s birthday. He also mistakenly believes Shep has some damaging information about Austen, which doesn’t seem to be true. This fear of Craig and his unpredictable behavior is a recurring theme among the cast. He quickly goes from calm to completely destructive. Madison notes that Craig used to be focused and successful when he was with Paige and didn’t drink as much, but since their breakup, he’s returned to his old, unnecessarily aggressive behavior – and everyone remembers the footage to prove it!
Reacher’s Neagley Spinoff Return Fixes Ballard’s Bosch Cameo Mistake
Both Reacher and Bosch are hugely popular and critically praised crime dramas on Prime Video. While they’re quite different from each other, making direct comparisons unhelpful, both shows are now building out their worlds with spin-offs focused on female leads, just like Bosch.
Banks’ Secret Bias Exposed! 🤯
A federal review prompted new disclosures as the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) released preliminary findings on Dec. 10 showing how major banks handled debanking. The OCC said it issued the review results to determine whether the nation’s largest institutions restricted customers based on political or religious views or lawful business activities. Because, of course, banks are just so impartial. 🤡
Japan Seeks to Govern Crypto Like Stocks: A Financial Odyssey!
The land of the rising sun witnesses today a seismic shift of legislative intent. Its mighty regulators, with an eloquent flourish of bureaucratic might, plan to extricate our whimsical cryptocurrencies from the cozy embrace of payment regimes. Instead, they propose placing them under the stern gaze of securities laws!
