I recently started noticing a trend in sites belonging to this group. They always feature some kind of anti-Crypto article, that always gets picked up on r/technology and upvoted by thousands.
Here are some examples:
https://gizmodo.com/search/?q=Crypto
https://jalopnik.com/search/?q=Crypto
https://kotaku.com/search/?q=Crypto
https://deadspin.com/search/?q=Crypto
Notice how their articles always carry a negative undertone.
There is something fishy going on here and I wonder why are these people so hellbent on painting Crypto in a bad light, especially when they are facing a discrimination lawsuit and their editor in chief just resigned for no apparent reason as well as the entire staff for Deadspin quit a couple of years ago.
I don't think anyone mentioned it here. Gizmodo and Vice published an article about the token:

The Danny Wang insta video is hilarious.
Thank you kindly to the following lovely people who sent me warm regards on what seems to be the coldest night of the year:

> Foundation doesnโt want to be Foundation. It wants to be the heady, thoughtful, revelatory first season of Westworld, so it pontificates about politics and religion and souls, but it doesnโt have the depth to say anything important. The TV series also wants to be Game of Thrones with its political maneuvering (most of which is invented wholesale for the show), but once Hari Seldonโs spaceship takes off, those imperial politics have virtually nothing to do with the Foundation. It also wants to be a sci-fi action show. Itโs so busy trying to be all of these things that it doesnโt have the time to be Foundation. For people who donโt know or care about the source material, the result is extremely pretty but not particularly compelling sci-fi. For people who know or are fans of Isaac Asimov and his work, I feel compelled to warn you that if you watch the show you will see a scene so enraging that you will tear your TV in two with your bare hands; then youโll realize how utterly unnecessary the scene was, and tear it into four.
Yeesh.
I wonder what the enraging scene is?
I was dicking around the interwebs, as one with a boring job does on December 23rd, and I was really pleased to see the "DC Legends of Tomorrow" was being cited alongside Wandavision, Squid Games or For All Mankinds (great show guys, in very different styles) in the Best Shows of the year.
I'm always surprised that this wacky serie managed to survive for 7seasons, and despite not being a huge rating hit the community of fans is strong, even amongst reviewers.
Anyway love to you all, Losers, Screw-ups and Misifts.
Praised be Beebo
The backlog pile is shrinking... and I appreciate your patience if you're waiting to hear if I received something awesome you sent!
A good thing to report today: Our karate school held its second belt-grading test last night, and my son did AMAZING - he should be receiving his yellow belt tomorrow evening. And I'm loving being able to see all our students advance.
u/GizmoDOS - My friend!! I opened your lovely butterfly thank-you card with all its amazing goodies today and it made my whole day. You are just wonderful and kind and I'm so grateful for you. Also, "Supreme Leader of the Pengins" is the best title ever and I am totally claiming it, though one of our pengins, Link, who fancies herself the emperor of all, may fight me for it...
u/EricBatailleur - I love that we got to be RAoC secret exchange partners!!!! I absolutely adore your rainbow tree card, am grateful for all the bonus fun, think your hand-drawn penguin is lovely, and am fascinated by your two-color wax seal. I stilllllll haven't even started with wax seals, but I think that's coming in a few months. But most of all, thank you for the kind words and positive outlook for 2022. You are amazing and I hope you had a great holiday and a great start to this year!
u/ihave_thoughts - Thank you so much for the amazing penguin holiday card! I also love the stickers and scratch ornament, that was so fun! I will be enjoying the cocoa as I work on my next pile of cards here in a bit, too. You are so kind and I hope you had a joyous holiday!

https://imgur.com/a/3ydq8V7 thank you all for the beautiful cards I received in the mail yesterday. Kids had a ball opening up the mail. Wish I could capture the joy in their faces when they open them for you all.
u/gizmoDOS Thank you so so much for the post card , card and extra goodies ! May I say Iโm obsessed with your handwriting - I can only dream of having such control of my writing to make it so small and elegant - I hope you know I want you to write any and every official document I ever have because your handwriting seriously belongs in an art gallery - the card has a beautiful message and I plan to take every bit of your advice , itโs something I needed to hear especially as of recently. As of now Iโve been feeling like Iโm in two crossroads one of being in a one track mind trying to accomplish everything I set out to do but yearning the endless possibilities of being all that I can be and doing all that I can- ironically I donโt have any experience with tarots or spiritual things ( I think Iโm catholic idk tbh my parents never shoved religion to us but told us to keep an open heart and mind for everyoneโs beliefs <3 , personally I believe a bit of everything ) the little tarot card however stuck our severely to me ( the fool ) Iโve never gotten one before but something my friends irl often tell me is that I have the โd*mbest beginners luck of allโ of having things go my way unintentionally even though I work for many things in my life and it seems like Iโm always having new starts so it sent chills down my spine seeing the message behind it of having full potential and many roads to choose from - I loved the other stickers you included too especially the heart ones they remind me of primary school also Iโve never seen a magnetic clip like this I plan to use it for my studies here in university I hope you donโt mind but I will carving the word gizmo on it <3
So I started to notice recently that they are not updating their regular story selections. Take io9's Morning Spoilers. They have it every morning as a new article from 7 ET to 8 ET. But they have not updated their new lists of Morning Spoiler articles for over a month. Check it out.
Their Help page, if you can find it, is also a 404 page to a different company.
Very weird.
Anyway, Downvote me if you want. But I thought someone here might care.
Have a good one!
u/kalletria - Wow, what a beautiful collection of stickers you have. My OCD habit made me sort through all of them so I can work on using them in my mailings throughout this year. I cannot wait and am so excited for your envelope. ๐ thank you so much!
u/RavRenTX - thank you for my llama card! I love the drawing you did and happy new year. Is the unicorn sticker something you drew? It is so pretty!
u/zzjan - thank you for the Christmas card and Happy New Year! I think you are my last Christmas card from RAoC, but who knows. When I saw the stamp I started to laugh. Such a funny one since US does not have such cheeky stamp.
u/gizmoDOS - thank you for the card and stickers! I am glad to hear that you have some peace and quiet this week to ring in the new year. We also got quite a bit of rain as well last week and hoping that it made a dent in keeping the areas less dry for fires.
I got your card today! I love all the plant stickers- where did you get them? and all the other stickers too! And you have the most gorgeous handwriting! I think my self care includes some of what you said too such as a warm cup of tea, and removing myself from the presence of those annoying me, but I also love trying to do something with my hand and less with my brain-I've really gotten into paper quilling. I also love just calling up friends and chit chating for hours, although that definitely is a rare treat given how busy everyone is!
