The late mogul’s insight into the rag trade may also apply to Bitcoin. “Just as a ‘fashion faux pas’ can happen suddenly, we just received the proof that digital currencies can also quickly become passé,” Dr. Marion Laboure, an analyst at Deutsche Bank in London, said in a research report. “It took Bitcoin a mere three months to go from trendy to tacky.” Bitcoin’s recent swoon sliced as much as 50% off the cryptocurrency’s value from its all-time high before recovering some of the loss and raises basic questions about its emergence as an asset class and its utility in commerce....

FC Dallas leads Team of the Week The latest development is the countries’ bid, along with the United States’ northern neighbor Canada, to jointly host the World Cup in 2026. With CONCACAF seeming the likely destination for the competition after Russia hosts in 2018 and the tournament heads to the Middle East four years later (and with a Uruguay-Argentina joint bid to host the 100th anniversary the same place the first tournament took place also likely to come for the 2030 edition), all three nations had intimated they wanted to host....

England on Friday showcased superb attacking prowess to dominate proceedings throughout the game at the Stade Velodrome. But most of their attacks came to nought against the Russian defensive wall before Eric Dier (73rd minute) placed a beautiful curling free-kick into the top left corner to give England the lead. But the Russians scored during injury time of the second half. Vasili Berezutski (90+2) rose above the England defence to head a cross in at the far post for the equalising goal, leaving the Englishmen frustrated....

As Animal Crossing: New Horizons is so cheerful and pleasant most of the time, players quickly notice the quirks that don’t quite fit with the game’s presentation. Usually this comes in the form of a creepy Animal Crossing villager interaction or lingering questions about the Animal Crossing world that goes unanswered. RELATED: Animal Crossing Fan Uses 3D Printer to Make Incredible New Horizons House But it’s the player’s ability to feely design the island and influence the actions of their villagers that means the creepiness of Animal Crossing can be ramped up when the player leans into it....

While Overwatch has seen quite a few heroes added to its playable roster over the years, Ana has the distinction of being the first DLC character introduced to the game. As a Support hero, she has a kit built around aiding her teammates in battle. For instance, her Sleep Dart allows her to stun opponents, often giving her team an advantage during a skirmish. While this ability is doubtlessly effective in the hands of a skilled gamer, it sometimes can create some unusual situations....

One of the main reasons behind this dissatisfaction was the Jailer’s manufactured importance, where World of Warcraft players felt the writers tried to retroactively paint the Jailer as having played a leading role in several defining moments of the Warcraft universe. The personality of the Jailer was ultimately not interesting enough to stand by itself, and his machinations deprived several villains of their agency to prop up his own legitimacy....

Johnson has been criticized for consistently making safe, lucrative choices. Now, Black Adam may be the latest in a string of disastrous choices for him, including bowing out of the Fast and the Furious mega-franchise and disappointing in Jungle Cruise. As Variety reports, Black Adam isn’t alone in a Thanksgiving weekend that’s down 10% compared to this time last year. This weekend saw Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans crash and burn and Disney tank with Strange World, with their saving grace being the continued strength of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever....

Snake catcher Nick Evans—who runs a snake removal and rescue service in the Greater Durban area—arrived to a property in Westville North, where a gardener had spotted two black mambas lurking in the bush.

As always, the team isn't getting specific about it, but it certainly appears to be a shoulder injury. Here are a few thoughts about the news: — It's the right call. There's no sense in risking further injury during six meaningless games. Chicago is effectively locked into a first-round matchup against the Colorado Avalanche, who will be without Matt Duchene and don't profile particularly well as postseason team, anyway. Furthermore, Toews and Patrick Kane, who's out with a leg injury, might've needed the rest anyway....

Dick is widely considered one of the greatest science fiction writers to have ever lived, and his novels have provided source material for a number of successful and beloved films, including Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner (1982), Total Recall (1990), Minority Report (2002), A Scanner Darkly (2006), and Paycheck (2003). His unique works often had elements of dystopia and deep paranoia, which are believed to have stemmed from his own struggles with schizophrenia....

The San Francisco quarterback followed an above-average opening performance vs. Los Angeles with a shaky one in Sunday’s 46-27 loss at Carolina. With that, his benching will come whenever Colin Kaepernick is fully healthy.
