Apple, on the other hand, is actually up. Likely because of all the major tech companies they have been the most skeptical of AI and took pains to silo their AI offerings from the rest of their iOS. They hedged their bets and so don’t have anywhere near as much to lose from the deflation of AI hype

Watching the fallout of the DeepSeek news and tech is having a really bad time

Current book progress
Screenshot showing my progress in reading Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment in the app Storygraph. It is cropped so “Nice” is the most prominent word on the cover, and it’s shows I am 69% of the way through. Nice.

They are just so fucking happy to hand over the government to the people they just a couple months ago were insisting would be a threat to democracy and it’s infuriating

Image of the original, cursed design of Sonic the Hedgehog for the movie, making a shocked/surprised face. The face looks uncannily human and the teeth. Dear lord the human teeth. Absolutely cursed

My amazing present from @tenaciousc.bsky.social.

“Widdle baby, everyone”
A vinyl of the soundtrack for The Christmas That Almost Wasn’t, a ridiculous Christmas movie from the 1960s that was featured in an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Watching that episode is a favorite holiday tradition of ours

Good morning BlueSky.

My local tea shop made a limited edition blend for Nosferatu’s release this week and they named it Nosferatu-tea. Yay!
A white cylinder tin with a sticker featuring the poster for the new Nosferatu film. Underneath the poster is text that reads “Nosfera-Tea A frightening good fermented black tea Ingredients: Organic pu-erh, organic vanilla black tea, apple pieces, rose petals, wild elderberry, allspice”

This is a good question, but another question worth asking is if someone is the CEO of multiple companies and still has all this time to spend gaming and lurking on Twitter, how hard is the job of CEO actually?
Screenshot of text from a Forbes article about Musk getting booted from Payh of Exile 2 for being a cheater that reads “The question remains about how a man running this many companies with now a new role supposedly cutting hundreds of billions out of the national budget has time to grind out games like Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2. Many accused Musk of having someone play on his D4 account or buying items to ensure he had a top spot in that game, but that was never proven. It remains to be seen if he will be able to ascend the Path of Exile leaderboards.”

Lol, lmao
Headline from Hindustan Times that reads “Elon Musk kicked off Path of Exile 2 for 'cheating' weeks after becoming Diablo 4's top player” The subheader reads “Elon Musk faced allegations of cheating in Path of Exile 2 and was disconnected from the server.”

It is driving me crazy the lengths every headline is going to in order to avoid saying HBO canceled Sesame Street.

This feels deliberate, an attempt to prevent WB and fucking Zaslav from being associated with “cancels Sesame Street,” which is a sentence you’d use to describe cartoon villainy
Entertainment Weekly headline that reads “HBO to no longer air new episodes of Sesame Street on Max” Deadline headline that reads “ Max & HBO Wind Down Deal For 'Sesame Street' Original Episodes, Retaining Some Library Rights” The Wrap headline that reads “HBO and Max End ‘Sesame Street' Deal as Part of Shift Away From Kids Programming” Bleeding Cool headline that reads “Warner Bros. Discovery Opts Out of Deal for New "Sesame Street" Eps”

Had the random memory of owning this shirt and wearing it to school all the time, and present me is chastising the shit out of high school me for having the GALL as a decently popular white cis straight dude in the suburbs to act like I was some sort of societal outcast

And image of Thomasin from The VVitch. It is the scene with Black Philip where he asks her “Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?” But instead the caption reads “Wouldst thou like to live la vida loca?”

I’m scared please help
An image of the Duolingo owl bursting up from colored clouds. Below it is text the reads “Yes! Your 90 day streak was hot stuff. You're safe from Duo. For now. But one slip is all it takes...” A close up of part of the text from the previous image. “You're safe from Duo. For now. But one slip is all it takes...” This is a bone chilling threat and is being highlighted in case of my untimely demise

Takes like this severely under appreciate the truly staggering number of TTRPGs out there. Once again begging people to stop treating D&D and TTRPGs as interchangeable concepts.

You might as well say that if Elon bought McDonald’s hamburgers are dead
“Saw this on tiktok and thought I should share. If Elon buys Hasbro and gets dnd. TTRPGs are dead. Like what makes you think those cunts won't spread to others. Like the main ship is down. So the smaller ships are going to be next. They'll flood over to the rest and control it too”

Off in the woods for a few days and I have decided my getaway book would be about how neoliberalism had failed us because I hate myself
The book “Never Let A Serious Crisis Go To Waste: How Neoliberalism Survived The Financial Meltdown” by Philip Mirowski being held in my left hand and resting on my right knee. It is daytime and in the background there is a lit fire in a firepit and barren trees in the distance, the ground littered with their fallen leaves

Mug check.

Normally, I’d say it’s way too early for anything like this. But we actually got some snow overnight and I have no idea anymore if we will get any snow the rest of the year so fuck it

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you:
An image of cows and bulls dressed up in cowboy garb. On the left is a brown cow wearing a blue jacket over a pink shirt and red bolo tie, wearing a light tan cowboy hat. In the middle is a black and white bull wearing a red vest and blue cowboy hat. In the right is a golden brown bull wearing a green shirt with a sheriff badge and a brown cowboy hat.

One of the main reasons I set my Hunter: The Reckoning campaign at Ohio University was so that I could utilize The Ridges, specifically the abandoned TB Ward. And folks, tonight it the night it comes together #TTRPG
