Each season of Below Deck typically features someone who plays the role of the ‘villain.’ Last season on Mediterranean, Joe and Kizzi shared that role. This season, Ellie and Alesia are vying for it. Despite working in separate areas of the boat and having limited interaction so far, their ambition and, frankly, desire for attention from the male crew members, have created a rivalry. What makes their conflict interesting is that they’re not only at odds with each other, but also seem to clash with everyone around them.

With the rise of artificial intelligence, leaders are increasingly using AI to handle their work, and schools are starting to use AI chatbots instead of teachers.

I’ve been hearing so much about Primitive War! It came out of nowhere in 2025 and is really connecting with viewers. It didn’t have a massive budget like the Jurassic Park/World films, but people are loving it. And get this – just two days after hitting streaming, FlixPatrol is already reporting it’s a huge success! It’s great to see a film do so well based on word-of-mouth.
In my research, I’ve been looking at development activity across thousands of crypto projects using data from Santiment. What I’ve found is that ten DeFi protocols are really leading the way, and there’s a significant difference in activity levels between them – enough to make a real impact, it seems.

Even though some people think this idea has been used too much, it’s actually led to many amazing games, and we still believe there’s plenty of room for fresh, new approaches.
