The crypto market is actually doing well today. Bitcoin is closer to its all-time high than $100k, while Ethereum is hovering above $4.5K. And some are asking, “Why did crypto crash today?” Although, there was some turbulence like hotter-than-expected US PPI data at 3.3% year-over-year which brought fears of delayed Fed’s rate cuts, the total crypto market cap is still at above $4 trillion. Bitcoin has fallen by more than 3% to around $119K, while over $860 million in long positions were liquidated in 24 hours. Yet, some altcoins showed resilience, showing that the bull run is far from over.…

Video games and film/TV have long had a symbiotic relationship, influencing one another even more in an era when titles like “The Last of Us” and “Fallout” have become critical darlings in multiple forms. What’s even more entertaining for lovers of film and games are when the influences aren’t quite as direct as the art of adaptation, whether it’s the way Indiana Jones shapes “Uncharted” or the various familiar faces in something like “Death Stranding 2.” Sometimes it’s just the art direction of a well-considered game or, if we’re lucky, the storytelling that echoes the work of a screenwriter instead…

Since the 1970s (the earliest year measured), Japan has consistently ranked among the “most free” countries in…

The former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has often been considered one of the most destructive batters in world cricket. Still, even the best players go through bad patches, and the former cricketer recalls how skipper MS Dhoni dropped him from the playing XI, which prompted retirement thoughts. Former Indian captain MS Dhoni was known to have made some tough calls, which led to India’s rise under his wing after the humiliating exit from the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup, as India lost matches against Bangladesh as well. The captaincy was handed to MS Dhoni from Rahul Dravid, and he gave…
