The streak, which had been clinging to life like a penguin on thin ice, finally snapped. After six days of weeping red, U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs roared back with inflows that would make a high-society auction house weep into their sherry. Ether funds followed suit, while solana’s ascent was as steady as Jeeves polishing a monocle.
Solana leads in pp revenue (that’s “protocol profit,” not the other thing, though we won’t judge if you snickered). Ethereum, which once strutted around like it owned the joint (and briefly did, during Q1 2024 when it made more than Robinhood, Etsy, and your Aunt Karen’s candle business combined), now sulks in the corner with a “How did I get here?” vibe.
Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto recently shared a story from a conversation with Pokémon creator Satoshi Tajiri. Tajiri jokingly suggested that the only way to outsell Mario Kart would be to sell two copies of Pokémon to every customer.

Most TV shows don’t make a lasting impression with their very first scene, but Justified did exactly that. The show, which finished airing nearly ten years ago, has become a fan favorite on FX, and memorable moments like its opening scene were key to building its strong reputation.
In a recent interview with GQ, the Euphoria actress was repeatedly asked to apologize for a simple jeans commercial, seemingly as a deliberate tactic. She refused to apologize, demonstrating that true professionalism comes from self-assurance, not simply agreeing with others.
It can be tiring to keep repeating ourselves, but this week’s episode of “Mousetrap” suggests there’s value in doing so. What if we repeat key points not just for newcomers, but to establish those points as common knowledge? When we consistently share a story with others, it can shape a shared understanding of reality.

Many Helldivers have noticed their AR-2 Coyote rifle isn’t performing as well as it used to, and you’re not mistaken. The weapon received a hidden adjustment – often called a “shadow nerf” – meaning the developers changed its stats without announcing it in the official patch notes. This has left players confused about what exactly happened to this popular incendiary rifle. Let’s explain what a shadow nerf is and why the developers decided to tweak the Coyote.
