To be clear, this is not a referendum on the quality of AI content. Markets are spooked because they believe tools like Project Genie will allow anyone to generate a video game. This is not actually possible. If you are a trader and would like to pay me 10 million dollars to explain why, hmu

Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

I’ve been successful enough in my career to buy bidets, and recommend them. Usually we get this one, which is $40 and installs easily on any toilet. a.co/d/9KQdXzm Pays for itself in TP in no time.

The front suspension on the Haas VF26 looks like Mcl's 2025 lower multilink set up (caveats apply).
There's no lower wishbone, but 2 seperate links joining the upright, creating a virtual steering axis. This can aid tyre management and aero. So, it could be on the Ferrari SF26 too

When I first launched ShadowSky.io all those days ago, haters said no one would use a bsky client that didn't even have feeds.

And you know what, the haters were right, nobody uses it.

So I made feeds. Also if you make the browser wide, you get a SkyDeck.

Many people* are asking: what is ShadowSky? Why would I go there?

ShadowSky helps you make sense of a lot of notifications, which the main bsky app is not great at. For example, if you launch a new product, you might get a flurry of inbound feature requests and likes, but struggle to keep up.

Dear all,

Helen passed away at 13:21 local time. Helen would not have wanted us to be sad for a long time. All they wanted was to be remembered. They looked forward to being rid of pain and to being at rest. Helen took great comfort in you, their friends and readers.
