@DonOrsillo Scene stealer!

I did, yes 😂 😂

@Hogdale_ Even if it gets done, there's still the final book to wait 3 decades for.

I wish I had the same level of Hope in my heart as the people who genuinely believed that the fake leak was true. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that the winds of winter is never coming out if it ever does it’ll be an extremely pleasant surprise

@farzyness I’m just here for the PSU content! #WEARE

I'm getting a number of comments lately from folks that watch my content, especially on YouTube - that it's not what it used to be, or that I'm "selling out", "making content just for clicks", "making AI slop", or "recycling content just for money". Perhaps I'll use this time to get everyone caught up on how I've been approaching content creation. It has become very obvious that we are living through the most transformational time in human history. Since I started creating content in 2021, I was in a very unique position to talk about the details of how this future was being built in one of the premier companies that was leading this transition, which is Tesla. Since then, one of the biggest realizations I've had is that my (and by extension, my audience's) understanding of the fundamental shift in the world related to EVs, self-driving cars, AI, robotics, energy, etc. is only shared by a very small % of the population. A shockingly small %. All I have to do is talk to a random person on the street. That information is INSANELY valuable for making decisions about the future. At the very least, it's a very powerful brainstorming tool (or so I hope!). So I made the pre-meditated decision a few months ago to begin tailoring my content slightly more towards folks that are not as deep in the weeds as my usual audience would've been. By default, this means a) introducing concepts as new that those that are familiar with my content would find as "old news" or repetitive b) adopting a tone that was geared more for a general audience that is completely new to what I'm talking about and c) framing stories/videos in a completely different way that is digestable/clickable by a broader audience. For those that would think I'm doing this "maliciously", this looks like "clickbait", "repetitive", or "just doing it for the money". But in reality, it's a very deliberate decision that required quite a bit of a perspective shift & stylistic change on my end. Trust me: if I really wanted to make money, I wouldn't be doing content creation. Every content creator would tell you that. Why would I subject myself to hate on a literal hourly basis for unpredictable revenue? The ROI is not that great, especially when you account for mental health. Fortunately for me, I do this because I LOVE IT!!!! In addition, through my 4+ years of creating content, I've had the luxury of amassing a large repository of knowledge in my videos that are uniquely mine. In the age of incredible agentic AI tools, I now have the ability to take this database and create new pieces of content (ie books and other things) that would've never existed before, that's geared to a completely new audience I would've never had. From an educational & informative perspective, this is a no-brainer decision for me to do. My job now, as it always was, is to ensure I'm doing everything I can to execute these pieces of content at the highest level possible, given everything I've learned thus far. That's my promise to you, and to myself - that I'll always try my best, regardless of format or medium, in everything that I do. I cannot control how any of you feel about what I create, but the least I can say is that I tried my best. I hope this brings some clarity to those that might be questioning my motives/direction/decisions.

Penn State fans, describe how you’re feeling right now in seven words or fewer. Let me hear them.

@_4freakshow @dayannag27 I’m outside the US, and some of the games I have to use Disney+. Sometimes Prime. Twice it’s been unavailable on all the platforms I have to use.

@DBGyt_ They’re just trying to stop people from cancelling their flights to Indy for the AS weekend 😅

With CC being questionable I would assume that the scans showed up negative! But it's clear with the pain that something is wrong. Shooting pain could be linked to mechanical issues in her running or tightness elsewhere. Don't know how much help rest will do if that's the case

@DBGyt_ When’s Aari available to the Fevers again?

Phoenix get: Dewanna Bonner, Brianna Turner Indiana get: Kitija Laksa, Natasha Mack Indiana sign Aari McDonald... Win/Win

I haven’t quite processed that today I watched Rafael Devers hit a home run against the Yankees and now he will never be on my baseball team again

This should be Tyrese Halliburton’s signature

@DayDreamThis Revenge tour coming. I hope.

setting up that 40 point blowout when she returns. Lols

@TheKingCartier Bro 😭😭😭

The Fever just gave EVERYTHING they had against the WORST team in the league and still lost… We miss you Caitlin. We really do.

@RADeMita What was the drawn up play there?!?

So insanely confused by these end of game play calls/decisions

@TheCinesthetic Knives Out

What is the greatest chase scene in TV or Film?

@CodifyBaseball 2004, including the pre-season preferrably.

If you could travel back in time to relive any one baseball season, which year would you choose?

@joesmeltzer775 Pain.

Penn State fans, describe your emotions in seven words or fewer. Let me hear them.

@PetrikReads @PinsonBaptiste Standalone book?

COVER REVEAL time! I'm thrilled to reveal the beautiful cover art of BLOOD OF THE KAMI by @PinsonBaptiste! I'm so looking forward to reading this upcoming mythological/folklore Japanese-inspired fantasy novel!😍 Cover art by Christian Benavides (Voyager)

Ken Rosenthal on the Red Sox: “I think they’re actually serious this time as opposed to last year’s ‘full throttle’ which wasn’t full throttle at all. They’re serious about getting quality players, big-time free agents. They’re going to be better at the end of the offseason.”

@kenswift Haven't seen the video yet, but I like him already cause he's wearing a Red Sox cap

I love this guy. When the OPS are caping for Sides, you know we are winning.

@1NCRDB1 You played awesome!

We will see them again I promise… WE WILL BE BETTER, STAY TOGETHER!! it’s a long Season!😉 #WE are

@middlebrooks I'll take anything that doesn't involve getting out with no runs scored.

I know he’s hurt, but I feel like Ohtani is overdue for a big moment.
