Nun macht die Gemeinde Zürich wieder über die Landesgrenzen hinweg Schlagzeilen. Diesmal jedoch nicht als unschuldiger Ort eines schrecklichen Unfalls. Sondern weil ein beliebter Festtagswitz fürchterlich ausging. “Eine Transfrau wurde in der Schweiz angezündet”, titelt The Advocate, das führende LGBT-Magazin in den Vereinigten Staaten. „Die Stadt brennt Stroh für Transfrauen“, schreibt das britische Portal Metro. Und das deutsche Online-Medium LGBTI queer.de titelt: „Die Figur der Vielfalt brennt in einer Traditionsveranstaltung“....

Vladimir Guerrero scored a two-pointer with two scenarios in the first inning to give us our first lead after the top of the fourth match of this series....

Zhao said in a memo to employees seen by the Financial Times that the bailout, which cemented Binance’s position as the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, was not a “victory.” “Regulators will scrutinize exchanges even more.

The message also set the pace for the deal he agreed with counterpart Sam Bankman-Fried to prevent the total collapse of FTX, which had been valued at $32 billion earlier this year....
