Concerns about the use of cryptocurrencies for illegal activity resulted in an effective ban on crypto mining and transactions. After a massive public outcry at the end of 2021, mining companies in Kazakhstan were effectively cut off from the grid. Today, the US makes up about 40% of the global hashrate — up from 17% during China's 2021 peak — making America the biggest hub for bitcoin mining. However, in recent years, bitcoin mining has become increasingly concentrated in the hands of a small number of private companies. Given how much energy bitcoin mining consumes, it's worth questioning whether its presence in the US is really worth the trade-off.

It's an urgent question — what do we do with the 40 million tons of plastic waste we produce annually? One year of plastic waste is roughly enough to smother the entirety of Manhattan a meter deep, and it has to go somewhere. For decades, America sent its plastic waste to countries like China and Indonesia. Unlike aluminum or glass, the plastic that can be recycled rarely results in replacing one recycled water bottle with another. By downcycling a tiny portion of plastic waste, companies can genuinely reuse a relatively small share of plastic, while convincing consumers that the industry has created a circular economy of infinitely recycled plastic.

CNN —It was not until I looked at “Family Room” for the second time that I saw the two children. The scene of decay and demise is a painting by LA-based artist Sayre Gomez, called “Family Room,” that brings together disparate elements of his hometown in an unnervingly photorealist style. The work forms part of his solo show “Heaven N’ Earth,” at art dealer Xavier Hufkens’ flagship gallery in Brussels, Belgium, exploring the complex dichotomies of the urban landscape. The Broad Museum in Los Angeles has also recently added Gomez’s work to its collection. Gomez's photo-realistic work is currently appearing in a solo show at Xavier Hufkens in Brussels, Belgium (above) and a group show at The Broad in Los Angeles.

Coincidentally, Sayre also wrote about “The Joy of Sex” for The Times, including it in a round-up of sex manuals (which was headlined “Ahh!”). Here, though, she was most definitely interested in the graphics. ‘I understand,’ she said, ‘that you have “The Joy of Sex” — unillustrated.’” There was no such thing, of course; the art in “The Joy of Sex,” as the Book Review noted, “may have had just a little to do with its phenomenal sales.”That wasn’t true of “Breakfast of Champions,” which soared onto the best-seller lists on its literary merits alone. It’s just an agreeable thing to do, and I recommend it to everybody. I always say to people, practice an art, no matter how well or badly, because then you have the experience of becoming, and it makes your soul grow.”

Tribal Gambling Could Expand Under New Federal Rules
  + stars: | 2023-03-05 | by ( Katherine Sayre | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Gamblers partake in slots at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Tampa, Fla. The Seminoles operate casinos and own the Hard Rock entertainment brand. Native American tribes could expand their gambling operations in the U.S., including pursuing lucrative online betting, under new rule changes proposed by the federal government. The proposals from the Bureau of Indian Affairs include easing rules for tribes to acquire additional land, which could ultimately be approved for casino development. New rules would also ensure that tribes can negotiate online-betting deals with states.
Alec Baldwin has pleaded not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter in New Mexico over the fatal shooting on the set of the movie “Rust.”Mr. Baldwin, the movie’s star and a producer, waived the chance to personally appear before a Santa Fe District Court judge Friday, according to court documents.
