pricpr So, September 16th, a day that will live in infamy (probably), Google announced this AP2 thing. It’s a ‘standardized framework’, they say, for these AI agents to waltz around making payments. Securely, of course. As if we *want* them making payments! The company bleated:
Before the 34th season of *Dancing With the Stars* began on September 16th, several cast members shared a look at their preparations for the show.
“Emergence” is the second-to-last episode of *Alien: Earth* (or at least season one), so it naturally sets up the main conflict for the final episode. The show has been fairly slow-paced, though, which makes the quick approach to the finale a little concerning. Adding to this, a particular plot twist introduced by the creator, Noah Hawley, is likely to cause a significant split among fans even before the season concludes.
I’ve been watching the Netflix live-action version of *One Piece*, and it’s clear they’ve had to adjust things from the original story. Most of these changes seem smart and actually improve the adaptation, but some haven’t landed as well with longtime fans – things like leaving out favorite characters or altering personalities. Regardless, here’s a rundown of all the changes the show has made so far, for better or worse.
While the second *Downton Abbey* film was titled *A New Era*, the release of *Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale* in 2025 truly delivered on that idea of a fresh start. The movie concluded with Lady Mary Talbot, played by Michelle Dockery, officially becoming the head of the family estate. As she stood in the main hall, she reflected on cherished memories of loved ones who had passed away. Dockery recently shared a different possible ending to *The Grand Finale*, but she, like me, believes the final version was the stronger choice.
Economists, those solemn priests of numbers, wring their hands in despair. “The credibility of our sacred benchmarks!” they cry, as if the gods of finance have turned a blind eye. Yet, who can blame them? When reality is too cumbersome, why not invent it? 📈✨
When one of the judges on *Dancing With the Stars* became ill, she couldn’t be at the show’s season 34 premiere on September 16th. Hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough explained her absence to viewers during the live broadcast.
Etherscan, that silent chronicler of digital destinies, reveals a tale both mundane and mystical. A Kraken hot wallet, with the grace of a leviathan, transferred 512 billion SHIB ($7.14 million) to an unknown address (0x95a…4C4cE). Ah, the anonymity of the blockchain-a cold wallet, perhaps? A long-term embrace, like a bear hibernating through winter’s chill? 🧊 Or is it Kraken’s own vault, hoarding treasures for some unseen storm? 🦑
Let’s talk about J.J. Perry, a true master of stunts who also directed Netflix’s surprisingly fun vampire flick, *Day Shift*. I recently chatted with Perry and Dave Bautista about their new action-adventure, *Afterburn*, and Perry dropped some exciting news. Not only does he envision a *Day Shift* trilogy, but he’s actively hoping to get Bautista involved in the next installment! It sounds like he really wants Bautista to join the fun, and honestly, I can see why – they clearly work well together.
The update is currently available on PC through the public beta. The full release for all platforms, including PS5 and PS4, is almost ready and should be out by the end of the week. You can find a complete list of changes below:
