On January 27, PayPal, that paragon of innovation, and the National Cryptocurrency Association, a society of the most discerning minds, unveiled a joint study revealing that 90% of U.S. merchants would welcome cryptocurrency payments if the experience were as seamless as swiping a credit card. A most reasonable expectation, one might think, though the task seems as daunting as teaching a parrot to recite Shakespeare.
Bloys hinted that a fourth season isn’t off the table, but it depends on what creator Sam Levinson wants to do with the show and his career. He’s currently focused on season three, and they’ll need to discuss his plans next. A bigger question is whether the main cast – including Jacob Elordi, Zendaya, and Sydney Sweeney – would be willing to return for another season. It might be best to wait and see how season three is received before making any decisions.
While the rest of Run Amok doesn’t hit quite as hard as this particular scene, its unsettling atmosphere lingers throughout the film. What’s striking is that the adults are the ones most deeply affected by the tragedy, not the children—even Meg, who eventually learns she was at school during the shooting. The teachers carry orange toy guns and some are disturbingly quick to use them. Mr. Hunt, the woodworking teacher (Bill Camp), obsessively shoots at squirrels to protect the birds in a birdhouse he built, a heavy-handed symbol that becomes even more obvious as the film goes on. Mr. Shelby (Patrick Wilson), who lost his hand and killed the shooter, is overly supportive of Meg, seemingly trying to atone for what he feels he failed to prevent. Ultimately, all the adults are haunted by their inability to protect the children.
And yes, it reads like something straight out of The Terminator.
Although plans for a third Spider-Man movie starring Andrew Garfield were scrapped, there’s still a chance the storyline from Spider-Man: Brand New Day could happen. This story would start a fresh direction for Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and could introduce the character Black Cat. If you’re curious about how Spider-Man and Black Cat might interact, Marvel’s ongoing Spider-Man comic series offers a preview.
The scene was set for a drama as old as time: a battle between bullish delusion and bearish reality. Analysts, those modern-day prophets, now whisper of two paths-one leading to a $75,000 sanctuary, the other to a $60,000 abyss. How thrilling, one might say, to witness the rise and fall of a digital god, all while sipping lukewarm coffee and clutching a spreadsheet.
And lo, the browser maker’s shares did dance a merry jig, rising from a lowly $12.40 to a stately $14.65. MiniPay, that clever little wallet, now allows users to wield these tokens without the bother of blockchain’s labyrinthine ways.
Marvel movies and shows often feel the need to finish with a large-scale battle, even when the story doesn’t necessarily call for it. However, in Wonder Man, Simon Williams only uses his powers to fight bad guys once, midway through the series. The other character with powers, DeMarr Davis, doesn’t fight at all – instead, he rescues people from a fire and goes through a dramatic personal journey that involves a missing celebrity. Despite ending with a powerful display of Wonder Man’s abilities, the show doesn’t conclude with a typical finale fight.
Rishi Ramdani, a sharp and often crude trader played by Radia on HBO’s Industry, thrives on risky situations – the kind he’d definitely bet on. He’s a fan favorite, despite being older and more abrasive than the recent college graduates he works with at a London investment firm. In the show’s first season, Rishi was known for his outrageous and sexually explicit comments on the trading floor. While Radia initially received more praise for those lines (many added in post-production) than for his acting, the series evolved beyond simple workplace drama. Rishi’s relentless pursuit of more – both financially and personally – came to represent the excesses of the wealthy and the show’s growing complexity. We see him engaging in reckless behavior, like doing drugs and having an affair with a colleague at his own wedding. A particularly memorable episode showed his attempt to adapt to a quieter life in the countryside while struggling with a large gambling debt, ultimately ending tragically with the murder of his wife. The show’s creators deliberately create difficult situations for their characters at the end of each season, and season four pushes Rishi’s story to its darkest point yet.
The answer matters, because investors are already trading the nomination as if Volcker himself just walked back into the Federal Reserve building. (Spoiler: He’s not. He’s probably at a beach in the Bahamas, sipping a margarita and judging us.)
