World’s Biggest Anime Database Banned in New Censorship Ruling

by

Russia has blocked access to the popular anime and manga database MyAnimeList, starting October 22, 2025. The country’s media regulator, Roskomnadzor, claims the site contains “extremist” LGBTQ+ content and promotes “non-traditional sexual relations.” Russian users now see an error message when trying to visit the site, which has about 20 million users worldwide. However, officials have indicated the ban could be lifted if MyAnimeList, a Tokyo-based company, removes the objectionable content.

DOGE vs. Bitcoin: Who Let the Underdog Out? 🐶💨

by

DOGE Price Chart

In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter, because why not add more confusion to the world?), Bit Origin claimed that DOGE is outpacing Bitcoin in speed, cost, and usability. Apparently, Bitcoin takes 10 minutes per block, while DOGE confirms transactions in just one minute. 🕒✨ That’s like comparing a tortoise to a jackrabbit-one’s cute, the other’s just… slow. 🐢🐇 They also mentioned lower fees, because who doesn’t love saving a few cents while the world burns? 🔥💸

Sounds Like Frankie Muniz Needs to Call Hilary Duff

by

The story started when Frankie Muniz appeared on Hilary Duff’s Disney Channel show in 2002. While on set, he mentioned to Duff’s mom that he was filming a movie where he played a character similar to a young James Bond. Duff’s mom then convinced Hilary to play Natalie Connors in the film – Muniz had actually hoped Kristin Kreuk from Smallville would get the part. Muniz admitted he wasn’t entirely happy with the decision, but clarified it wasn’t because he didn’t want Hilary involved, though he felt he’d already revealed too much about the situation.

Long Live Claude Whelan, Slow Horses’s Finest Failure

by

Claude Whelan was never really equipped for the job. I suspect he realized that himself, maybe even from the beginning, despite trying to convince himself he could lead a team of spies like a simple summer program. He became head of MI5 because those who appointed him wanted someone predictable, someone who wouldn’t take risks. He lacked cunning and mistakenly thought he was brilliant, a dangerous combination in the world of espionage. Now he’s likely gone, forced to resign after pushing his luck too far. Though he was a poor leader who hindered crucial intelligence gathering and nearly caused a catastrophe with his delusions of grandeur, it was certainly entertaining to watch him struggle.

Banks Go Crypto-Crazy: The Epic Bank Bros Trade! 😲💥

by

This fateful trade twirled around cash-settled Bitcoin options, priced at a dizzying BTC $111 540, with a 24h volatility of a mere 1.1%-that’s practically Zen compared to the crypto rollercoaster, darling-and a market cap swelling to $2.22 T, while 24h volume pirouetted through $66.34 B. Not to be outshone, Ether joined the jubilee with options at $3 946, volatility a soothing 0.3%, market cap $476.05 B, and volume $34.11 B. What a hedging hedge, structured to shield these behemoths from the crypto storms of their own making-because who needs dragons when you’ve got price swings? 😂 These bespoke shields echo the old-school risk tamers, custom-crafted for the elite who hedge like pro gamblers playing chess with lightning. (According to CoinDesk, the gospel of all things ledger, it’s basically financial tai chi for those who dare the virtual abyss.)
