Belarus’s Crypto Mining Craze: A Dollar-Free Future or Just Fantasy?

Reports from the high-energy meeting in Minsk on November 14 paint a picture of Lukashenko all but declaring war on the dollar, not with weapons, but with computers and electricity. It seems that surplus energy is now Belarus’s golden ticket, and crypto-mining is the game they’re playing. Maybe next they’ll mine a few bitcoins and call it “national treasure.” 🏆

DC Just Made a Huge Change to Batman After 83 Years (And It’s Hilarious)

The Bat-Signal, first appearing in 1942 in Detective Comics #60, originally allowed Commissioner Gordon to call Batman when Gotham City needed him. It also aimed to scare criminals by letting them know the Dark Knight was coming.

James Bond 26 Is Set To Break a 30-Year-Old 007 Franchise Record (& It’s a Good Thing)

It’s not surprising that the next James Bond film is taking so long to come together. It’s been four years since No Time to Die was released, and even though Denis Villeneuve is directing and Stephen Knight is writing, production hasn’t started. They still don’t have a completed script or a new actor to play 007, despite a lot of rumors. This likely means the gap between this film and No Time to Die will be the longest in Bond history, surpassing the current record of six years and four months between Licence to Kill and GoldenEye. The wait between Spectre and No Time to Die was almost as long, at just under six years.
