So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

I was having a conversation with someone about the lack of small/medium sized venues we have in our area and how it would help bring in a larger variety of music (all we get are country and buttrock in our one arena venue) and they told me that if I didn’t like it to open a venue and fix it.

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

People like Shroud who are trying to push AI into every single facet of the human experience deserve to be publicly humiliated and ridiculed for being soulless and talent-less fucking losers. Fuck off
Shroud has accused The Game Awards of being “rigged” following its Game of The Year Arc Raiders snub, saying "the world is just not ready for AI in video games." https://bit.ly/488djGQ

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I hate that ESPN continues to force this loser on us (and also Trump).
Trump to Pat McAfee: "I'm only joining you because I hear you say such nice things about me. When people say nice about me, I join. When they don't say nice about me, I take a pass."

Why watch Geoff Keighley's Wet and Wild Winter Self-Suckfest in person for hundreds of dollars when you can sit nude in the comfort of your own gaming chair at home and watch for free?
I asked about Game Awards press tickets in October. Got an email yesterday encouraging me to buy my own, as there were no spares.

BALL x PIT fucking rips. An almost perfect feedback loop that I love in a rouge like, a fun base building mechanic and of course big number go bigger is always great.
There’s a very real chance that a traditional AAA game does not make my top 10 this year. Just an absurd year for games

I’m sorry man I don’t give a shit if millennials are eating toast with avocado and egg on it or Gen Zers are having one too many pistachio crème chocolate bars or what the fuck ever else. This is what I was talking about. Power flays us alive while convincing us to flay each other
“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”
