The yellow metal, much like a butler who’s just discovered the silver has been polished without his supervision, has been basking in the glow of investor panic. With the markets betting (76% chance, no less!) on yet another rate cut in January, gold’s status as a non-yielding asset has never looked more… well, non-yielding. 🏦💸
A highlight of Avatar: The Last Airbender season two is the character Toph, who quickly became a fan favorite in the original animated series. She’s known for being energetic, witty, and a skilled earthbender, and these traits offer a lot of potential for the new live-action adaptation. However, early looks at the Netflix version, played by Miya Cech, suggest a more mature and traditionally feminine portrayal of Toph. This feels like an odd and disappointing creative decision.
Currently, the only bonus for preordering the game is the Zero Suit Mark skin, which comes with the digital Standard and Deluxe Editions on both PC and consoles. If you buy a physical copy of the game for PS5 or Xbox Series X, you’ll receive exclusive physical items that aren’t available in the digital versions, but you won’t get the Zero Suit Mark skin.
Man, the wait for Hollow Knight: Silksong has been brutal. It started as just a little extra content for the first game, but when they announced it back in 2019, I don’t think anyone expected it to take this long. We’ve been waiting six years now, and honestly, the silence from the developers became a joke within the community. It’s been years of just… waiting and hoping for any news!
Researchers have developed a novel foundation model, Brain-Semantoks, capable of learning abstract representations of brain activity and offering unprecedented insights into the complex patterns of neural processing.
And just when you thought Bitcoin would crash the party harder-think again-last week, it did a little split from Nasdaq. Price dropped from $94k to below $90k, as if it was saying, “Hey, I’m not really feeling this hype.” All before the Bank of Japan’s rate decision-because why not add some extra spice? 🌶️
The original Beauty and the Beast features Gaston, who tries to marry Belle but she falls in love with the Beast. Gaston and his friend LeFou try to kill the Beast, but they fail, and Gaston falls to his death. The upcoming spin-off might show how a young Gaston became a popular hunter and met LeFou. Alternatively, it could be set later in time and simply highlight Gaston’s famously dramatic fall.
Most people familiar with how Saturday Night Live chooses its cast members know that potential performers audition for, and eventually meet with, executive producer Lorne Michaels. This was the case for Ashley Padilla, as she shared with Seth Meyers on Late Night (a clip of which is available on YouTube). Padilla described being flown to New York to audition for the show, and then recounted her meeting with Michaels. After a brief, casual conversation, Michaels delivered some direct news to her.
When it comes to Sherlock Holmes adaptations, Guy Ritchie’s films with Robert Downey Jr. are considered among the best for the big screen, and the BBC’s Sherlock, featuring Benedict Cumberbatch, stands out on television. While Ritchie’s movies stayed true to the original Victorian era, the BBC series updated the story and brought Sherlock Holmes into the modern world.
