Balance Coin stablecoin loses 99.92% of value in hack

Balance Coin (BLC), a stablecoin designed to maintain a $1 peg, crashed to $0.0012 on Wednesday — a loss of 99.92% of its value. An attacker exploited a flaw in the price oracle, the mechanism that reports collateral values to the protocol. Approximately $912,000 was drained from the system in the exploit.

Are algorithmic stablecoins too risky for investors?

Sophie Thatcher wants to shed her dark on-screen image

Sophie Thatcher, best known as tortured teen Natalie in "Yellowjackets," acknowledges her reputation for dark roles — including an abducted missionary in "Heretic" and an enslaved robot girlfriend in "Companion." The actress says her Mormon upbringing shaped her relationship with dark themes. Thatcher says she is now actively looking to diversify her roles and move beyond that image.

Should Sophie Thatcher take the risk and star in a comedy?

Oklahoma drivers embrace EVs despite poor charging infrastructure

Oklahoma is seeing a surprising surge in EV adoption despite having limited charging infrastructure and modest incentives for electric vehicle buyers. California remains the most EV-friendly state in the country. The Oklahoma trend suggests that infrastructure gaps do not always deter drivers from going electric.

Should poor charging infrastructure stop drivers from buying EVs?

Stephen Wolfram: the universe isn't random — it's driven by computational evolution

Physicist and Wolfram Alpha creator Stephen Wolfram argues that the universe's complexity emerges from simple computational rules, much like biological complexity arises from evolution. He proposes that nature is neither random nor engineered, but governed by a principle he calls "computational irreducibility." The same rule that shapes living tissue and organisms is, he claims, a fundamental property of computation itself.

Baldur's Gate 3 Player Loses 60-Hour Honour Mode Run During a Sex Scene

A Baldur's Gate 3 player lost a 60-hour Honour Mode run — the game's hardest difficulty with only one save file — due to a dialogue choice made during a sex scene. Honour Mode, introduced shortly after the game's official launch, is designed to prevent save-scumming by restricting players to a single save. The incident went viral in the gaming community as a cautionary tale about careless in-game choices.

Is a single-save Honour Mode a good design choice for RPGs?

Science Corporation's Vision-Restoring Brain Chip Gets EU Approval

Science Corporation has received European Union approval for its vision-restoring implantable chip, which works by directly stimulating the brain to restore sight in blind patients. The company was co-founded by Max Hodak, a former Neuralink co-founder. Hodak said the neurotech sector needs a company generating $100 million in annual revenue to prove the commercial viability of the space.

Should brain implants that restore vision be covered by public healthcare systems?

Pixie cut is out — "momager crop" is the haircut trend of summer 2026

The "momager crop" is the hottest haircut of summer 2026 — a short, layered style with volume on top and soft face-framing strands inspired by 1980s looks. Unlike the pixie cut, it requires little to no daily styling, offering a natural, effortless finish. The style is gaining traction among women looking for a bold yet low-maintenance look.

Is the "momager crop" a better haircut than the pixie cut?

Nurse whistleblower: Staff silenced by fear in Polish hospitals

Mateusz Sieradzan, a nurse and paramedic known online as Pan Pielęgniarka, has spoken out about systemic problems in Polish hospitals. He describes staff being blacklisted for reporting wrongdoing, patients treated as objects, and workers left without proper tools. Sieradzan says medical staff stay silent out of fear of professional retaliation.

Sin-Eaters: The Macabre Historical Job of Eating the Dead's Sins

💡 Did You Know

Sin-Eaters: The Macabre Historical Job of Eating the Dead's Sins

Sin-eating was a real historical practice in which a poor person consumed bread placed on a corpse, symbolically absorbing the dead person's sins to ensure their peaceful passage into the afterlife. The custom was documented mainly in Wales and the western counties of England, with roots in the 17th and 18th centuries. Despite their ritual role, sin-eaters were widely shunned by the communities they served.

Should practices like sin-eating be recognised as part of cultural heritage?

Central Slovakia's Hidden Gem: Hand-Fed Ground Squirrels and a 17th-Century Gold Mine

Central Slovakia offers offbeat attractions: wild ground squirrels that eat from your hand, a 17th-century gold mine with pitch-black, ice-cold tunnels, and scenic cycling routes. Instead of glossing over its industrial past, the region has turned raw history into a tourism draw. It's a strong alternative for travellers who prefer authenticity over crowded hotspots.

Can industrial tourism compete with traditional natural attractions?

Hulu's "King of the Hill" revival scores 100% on Rotten Tomatoes

Hulu's 2025 revival of "King of the Hill" has earned a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics hailing it as a masterpiece. The original Fox series ran from 1997 to 2010, following Hank Hill (voiced by Mike Judge) and life in a small Texas town centred on propane sales and suburban life. The revival used a time jump rather than nostalgia-baiting, a creative choice that paid off with audiences and critics alike.

Hitler's birthplace in Austria converted into a police station

The Austrian government has converted the 17th-century building in Braunau am Inn where Adolf Hitler was born into a police station. The move is intended to prevent the site from becoming a pilgrimage destination for neo-Nazis and Nazi sympathisers. Austria has owned the building since 2017.

Is converting Hitler's birthplace into a police station the right way to prevent it becoming a neo-Nazi shrine?

Gabelli's Small-Cap Strategy: Deep Value Plus a Catalyst for Price Gains

Investor Joseph A. Gabelli outlined a small-cap stock strategy that combines discounted valuations — companies trading below their intrinsic value — with specific catalysts that can drive sharp price increases. The approach relies on thorough fundamental research rather than market momentum. Gabelli says the method has continued to generate returns for patient, research-driven investors.

Is a deep-value plus catalyst strategy better than passive index investing?
