@TheGregYang @elonmusk Bots, deleting Teams stock backgrounds, using 2 doors to load and unload planes, Tesla auto wipers, fusion, c speed travel, world hunger, world peace,…thats all for now. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@Pirat_Nation That would be a game changer.

Microsoft is working on a new system called Positron that could let Xbox players turn their physical game discs into digital copies. The idea is simple: you put the disc in your console or drive, the system checks that you own the game, and then it adds a digital version to your Xbox account. Once converted, the game would work with cloud gaming, play on many devices, and fit better with new hardware, while the physical disc would likely stop working afterward to stop people from sharing or selling the same copy. We do not know which games would work, if it costs money, or when it might launch, and Microsoft has not confirmed it, so this is still just a rumor.

@PNWConservative Just like Shultz said the sonics would remain local.

My sources say they are planning to have all jobs moved to Nashville by year end.

@TheKevinDalton He will win on a ballot with steyer. You don’t actually think a republican will be on the final ballot for governor or mayor of LA?

KTLA just ended Xavier Becerra

@LoganDobson They aren’t cheap Chinese EV’s which is why Volvos don’t sell anywhere. The cheap versions sell well in Europe

I sometimes wonder if people know who owns Volvo

@dantemendes Wow, that takes me back. This one and Apache were endless hours of fun.

A-10 Tank Killer (Dynamix/1989) for MS-DOS PC was a popular and well-regarded flight sim, particularly following a significant 1.5 update. Well received as an action-oriented sim featuring the iconic airplane with neat 3D graphics for its time, it was ported to the Amiga in 1990.

@realEstateTrent It’s like $20/sf at some of the office properties. Thats total opex in most cbd’s.

Around 8% Property Taxes! Yes, that is approximately what you're paying in Cook County, Illinois. It covers much of the area around Chicago, and is one of the wildest things I've ever heard in commercial real estate. What a mess !

@NASAArmstrong Is the private company doing this further ahead and with less cost?

Two flights. One day. ✈️ NASA’s X‑59 just completed its first dual‑flight day, reaching 43,000 feet and near supersonic speeds as teams continue working toward quieter supersonic flight. Another step toward making quieter supersonic travel a reality. More on the Quesst mission: go.nasa.gov/4cW6aNq

@CarolineWren Another sitch where a woman couldn’t keep her cannons in the gunports.

So the Judge that authored the opinion forcing Utah to redraw their Congressional map (which added an absurd Democrat seat) just resigned after her ex-husband alleged she was having an affair with the plaintiffs attorney in the redistricting case that she presided over….

@ScottAtlas_IT Did Chicago’s total revenue drop during any of those 3-years?

When Ken Griffin and Citadel left Chicago: Total 3-Year Impact: $846M in lost taxes + $2.65B in lost spending = $3.5B economic hit to Illinois/Chicago (not including philanthropy losses).

@ecommerceshares I’m sure SAP has a skunk works group we just don’t know about.

Why has Europe decided to completely stay out of artificial intelligence race? Serious question. They’re not even trying. I really don’t get it.

@micsolana Speaking of Ro, where is shreklicker’s expose?

ro khanna’s net worth is north of $100 million (possibly over $200 million) and he’s a sitting member of congress. on what planet is he not “the wealthy and powerful”

@skaushik100 @jbarro LA deserves its own Mandami. Ramandami

@jbarro Pratt coming through means she almost certainly wins. Raman coming through means she almost certainly loses. It’s not rocket science.

Bass wants to give him ammo because he can’t win a runoff. It’s been weird watching conservatives meme themselves into the idea that Spencer Pratt will get elected mayor.

@Xbox @ForzaHorizon I regret buying 5, I will not make that same mistake with 6.

Drive through the gorgeous vistas and cityscapes of Japan 🇯🇵 Pre-order @ForzaHorizon 6 today: xbx.lv/4w7INbn

@StephenMoore Free trade isn’t free.

Protectionism is surging globally, with nearly 10x more tariffs than in 2008. The U.S. is part of the trend, but G20 peers have increased trade barriers even more. The real risk: less free trade, higher costs, and a poorer global economy.

@PaweSasko The og + phantom is the best game ever made. This stage sounds like we’re in for a 2030 release of cyber 2. One more expansion while waiting? or consider GTA6 as expansion while we wait?

Narrative crew of Cyberpunk 2 is looking for gifted storytellers to join our band of vagabonds. Future Sinnermans, Bloody Barons and Dream On enjoyers, share this calling with your chooms, lets put some shit of fire together 😌 cdprojektred.com/en/jobs/22064-… cdprojektred.com/en/jobs/22058-…

@MikeyNelliebub @aakashgupta Which cost more? The royalty free route or og content with royalties?

@aakashgupta They did all this because they would have had to pay Lucas royalties on anything original (episodes 1-6) on everything. Merchandise, rides, you name it. Now that royalty component has timed out and they won’t have to do that any longer.

Disney is about to delete five years of canon because Rey doesn't move toys. The sequel trilogy did $4.47B at the box office. Force Awakens $2.07B, Last Jedi $1.33B, Rise of Skywalker $1.07B. The merchandise tells a different story. Star Wars merchandise peaked at $700M in 2015 when Force Awakens launched. By 2019, the year Rise of Skywalker shipped with a billion-dollar marketing push as the supposed finale of the Skywalker Saga, Hasbro's Star Wars line was doing roughly $150M. A 70%+ collapse during the trilogy's own theatrical run. Then 2020 happened. No new movies. A streaming show legally unavailable in most international markets. Hasbro's Star Wars revenue grew 70% year-over-year. One character named Grogu outsold three years of sequel-trilogy merchandise. The sequel cast specifically can't move inventory at any price point. Rey, Finn, Poe, Rose, Holdo: Walmart clearance for years. Diamond Select's president said sales on TFA and TLJ products "were not too strong." Hasbro silently stopped producing Rise of Skywalker figures mid-line. There is no mass-market action figure for Poe, Finn, Lando, unmasked Kylo, Palpatine, or Leia from that movie. The licensees gave up before the trilogy finished releasing. The Lucasfilm acquisition was a $4.05B bet on the merchandise flywheel that built modern Hollywood toy licensing. Kenner's best year selling Original Trilogy toys, adjusted for inflation, outperformed the entire Disney era combined. That's the asset Disney bought. Galaxy's Edge runs the same play. Over $1B per park to build a Star Wars land set on a sequel-era planet nobody cared about. Both parks underperformed projections. The Mandalorian-themed expansion now under construction is the admission. If the rumor lands, this is the most expensive retcon in entertainment history. Five years of IP development written off because the licensees voted with their order books. Luke, Han, Leia, Vader, Boba, Mando, Grogu, Ahsoka generate revenue. The sequel cast generates returns.

@BrendanCarrFCC It allowed Amazon and blue origin to catch up. They would’ve always awarded it to to Kiper Leo if they were ready. The delay bought them time.

Under President Biden, the FCC revoked an $885 million award that Starlink won to provide high-speed Internet to millions of Americans. Back then, the agency claimed that it was revoking the award because it was unlikely that Starlink could provide 100/20 Mbps service to 40% of locations by year end 2025. I dissented at the time, explaining that the FCC's decision could not be squared with any objective application of law, facts, or policy. The data clearly showed that Starlink was on track. Now, new Ookla data shows that well over that percentage of Speedtest user on Starlink did meet the 100/20 service level by year end 2025. The Biden era decision to revoke the award only slowed down efforts to bridge the digital divide and raised costs for doing so. ookla.com/articles/starl…

*DELL APPROVES CHANGING INCORPORATION FROM DELAWARE TO TEXAS

@DanFriedman81 Or whatever

Oakland has a population of 450,000 people. It is blessed with geographic conditions existing almost nowhere else that allow year-round temperatures in the low 70s. It is also, notoriously, a crime ridden hellhole. 90 percent of the crime is committed by about 1200 recidivists. Oakland could make crime vanish by making these people vanish. Into a prison or whatever. Instead, Oakland elects progressive mayors and prosecutors who keep these people on the streets, keep encampments in the parks, provide no remedy for rampant property crime and disorder and keep spending hundreds of thousands of public dollars in social services and criminal justice expenditures every year for each of these individuals who are nothing but detrimental and will never be anything else.

@VietQNguyen Lots of land in south seattle not at highest and best use. Sabey runs data centers south and can repurpose low rent and vacant tilt-up warehouse space from the 80’s and 90’s. More likely to move just outside the city line.

This Seattle data center moratorium is a giant pile of virtue signaling: 1) Ain’t nobody gonna build a Colossus xAI style campus mega data center in Seattle. There’s no land available for that. 2) Data centers in Seattle proper are already clustered inside Belltown and South Lake Union buildings that you couldn’t tell are actual data centers from the outside. You couldn’t tell there’s natural gas used in those. They are completely innocuous and provide plenty of tax dollars to the city. 3) Seattle has the highest office vacancy in the nation along large cities - 28% overall and 36% in the downtown CBD. We shouldn’t be closing our doors to anyone that can provide sustainable revenues and jobs. But Seattle is always a test market for bad ideas that eventually metastasize in Olympia. So this is an opportunity to educate.
