We call those people "felons." bloomberg.com/news/articles/… Image
Also the reason the IRS intends to crack down on these people is that cryptobros are petty thieves who somehow robbed Fort Knox.

They don't have accountants or lawyers. They shuffle from rugpull to rugpull, and more than a few honestly believe crypto is really anonymous.
This is to say nothing of the "retail investors" in crypto who somehow made it big.

You ever see somebody who never had money win the lottery? They go broke at a record pace. They're the dog at the keyboard and they Have No Idea What They're Doing.
The IRS loves those people. Cryptobros don't know loopholes or how to properly dodge taxes or fight them in court or stall them with appeals. They don't know the right lawyers to hire because they're a kind of New Money even New Money hates.

Fish in a barrel.

What happened today, in reality:

The execs at Activision Blizzard (Kotick in particular) have run their company in the ground, and the only way to save any shareholder value is to let Microsoft buy it and further consolidate the large video game studios.

Bad news for customers.
This isn't going to "fix" Activision Blizzard.

If anything the sale will convince the media that this is a solution, and when no one's looking the same lower tier execs who survive the takeover will start running shit like they did before.

It's just a shell game.
Likely this will also damage any effort workers had put toward forming a union, because a buyout shuffles all the players involved.

And when the takeover gets underway, particularly strident proponents of unionization can be quietly made redundant without violating labor law.

I'm seeing those "Whedon wasn't actually all that good or talented" takes, which happens with every creator that turns out to be a fuckhead.

That's a poisoned perspective. Terrible people can be very talented. Denying that gives them cover until they get found out.
Content of his writing aside, Whedon could write and do so in a way that attracted a large following. He found ways to resonate. He could put together beautiful moments on screen.

Those abilities gave him standing, power and respect, and he used them to hurt people under him.
People do this dance every time: they weren't THAT funny. They couldn't REALLY sing. They weren't a GREAT director.

Don't do this. Talented people can be shit humans, and pretending otherwise lets them duck under the radar because they shrug off scrutiny until it's too late.

The supposedly new-player friendly Doctor Who event in EVE online requires you to:

1) Complete the exploration tutorial quests to get an explorer ship (30 minutes).
2) Take that ship and fly to different systems and scan. Each scan: 2-5 minutes.
3) Keep doing it until you find a very rare anomaly that everyone else is looking for, and can be farmed. (Anywhere from one to six hours.)

4) Keep doing THAT until you get enough special resources to craft a key into the event. (???? hours)
5) Once you're in the special event space, you collect EVEN MORE resources. (More hours.)

6) Keep doing THAT until you can craft a key into the combat part of the event (Oh god are you shitting me here)

Yes, because we used to have such adult and grounded films like "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Jaws" and every single fucking western ever
Stop being a baby and watch intelligent and realistic films like House of Gucci.
So much of modern film - SO MUCH - was just midlife crisis superhero shit before someone said "fuck it, let's drop the pretense already."

The winter storm has our internet bouncing on and offline, so streaming likely won't happen today.

The frustrating things is we're only getting a mild hit, but somewhere up the pipe must have exploded.
It's really hard to say with internet service providers in the United States.

There's a constant outage map provided by my electric utility. If the water goes out it's hard to miss and if you call them it'll be fixed fast lest whatever has affected you botch the whole system.
But to my knowledge, there is nothing like that here for ISPs. I've never experienced it with Comcast, WOW or AT&T.

If your internet goes out there's no outage map to know why, or status updates on when it will be fixed.

I'm only just now coming back around to finishing Doctor Who: Flux.

That's because the narrative bucked me off like a horse two episodes into it, and I had trouble mustering the effort to try again.

It's ... well, it's a mess.
I love the 13th Doctor. Whitaker's great. Yas is great, nice to have a proactive companion.

Dan can go away now please.

Please.

There's only so much bumbling buffoonery I can take.
The biggest problem with Flux isn't the idea behind it, or even the stories involved.

The problem with Flux is that it's five or six single episodes all smooshed together playing out at the same time. Each one is fighting for your attention, and the bouncing around is dizzying.
