Tether has dropped this bomb with a $250,000 donation to Opensats, the folks who fund open-source Bitcoin shenanigans that claim to champion financial freedom and dodge censorship like a pro. Because who doesn’t love a little anarchy in their crypto? 😂

Following last week’s attack on Steam, many believe a botnet called AISURU is to blame, as its activity significantly increased around the time of the incident. While the itch.io team hasn’t confirmed the source, it’s currently just speculation. Regardless of who was responsible, it’s becoming clear that simply shutting down the site after an attack may not be an effective long-term solution as these events happen more frequently.
This new online role-playing game is set in ancient China during the Song Dynasty.

These days, it’s hard for TV shows to get rerun on local stations unless they were created by Chuck Lorre or originally aired before 2015. However, the team behind the show *Ghosts* – CBS Studios, Lionsgate, and BBC Studios – is exploring the possibility of syndication. Just recently, with no prior announcement, *Ghosts* started airing five nights a week on 13 CBS-owned stations and one station in Chicago. This is currently a trial run; the show is only scheduled to air on these stations for ten weeks, ending in mid-December. The goal is to see if the local ratings are high enough to justify a wider, national launch into syndication, potentially in the fall of 2026, when the show will have around 90 episodes available.

Twenty-three-year-old Velez was arrested twice in late 2024 for stealing from a Target in Cape Coral. This happened even after a video of her initial theft became popular online.

Chainlink, that fickle fortune-teller of the ether, dances perilously near a support of utmost consequence, with analysts predicting an upward pirouette should the stage hold firm. Currently languishing at $17.96 after a grievous 5.7% tumble in but a day, the poor dear has endured the slings and arrows of market malice. From its lofty $19.20 perch, it tumbled beneath $18.00 in a mere two acts, a veritable tragedy of profit-taking! 😔📉
A major update includes the addition of rumble features.
