Moody’s, with the solemnity of a funeral director, explains how stablecoins-those 1:1 tokens tethered to fiat, like a dog to its leash-could unravel central banks’ grip on interest rates and exchange rates. A masterstroke of irony, really: people trade their savings for digital tokens, then blame the central bankers for the mess. 🙃
…Well, kind of.
The Public Investment Fund (PIF), backed by Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is a significant investor in several major game companies, including Capcom, Embracer Group, and Nintendo. Prince Salman also owns SNK, the publisher of games like Fatal Fury and King of Fighters, through his non-profit organization, the MiSK Foundation.
Salman has been actively working to increase Saudi Arabia’s presence in the global entertainment industry, successfully securing the rights to host the FIFA World Cup in 2034. He also played a key role in the PIF’s acquisition of Newcastle United Football Club in 2021.
However, it’s important to note that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency reported in 2018 that Salman ordered the assassination of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi that year. Subsequent reporting by The New York Times in 2019 detailed alleged efforts by the Saudi Arabian government to cover up the killing and destroy evidence.
The project’s meteoric rise? Fueled by Season 2 of its points program-a spectacle so addictive even Oscar Wilde’s ghost might trade his quill for a crypto wallet.

The eleventh episode of *Cowboy Bebop*, titled “Toys In The Attic,” is a standout success, which is fitting given the exciting adventures of Spike Spiegel and the Bebop crew. Originally aired in 1999, the episode feels heavily inspired by the movie *Alien*, with Spike facing off against a strange creature lurking in the dark. While *Cowboy Bebop* is often set in space, it doesn’t usually focus on aliens, making this particular episode especially frightening.
These are the kinds of movies that have a lot going on, but are so enjoyable or captivating that they’re perfect for repeat viewings. You might even appreciate them more the second time around.
Over its many seasons, *King of the Hill* featured several memorable episodes, and a particularly impactful one occurred between seasons three and four.

I was listening to The Hot Mic podcast, and John Rocha dropped some interesting news about Brand New Day! Apparently, MJ has a new boyfriend, and it actually causes some tension with Peter. It sounds like this adds a bit of a darker, more realistic edge to the story, which I’m really excited about!
