So, buy the dip?

All you need to know about Twitter

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

DeepSeek’s R1 model is challenging the very foundations of the past two years of generative AI hype, wiping $1 trillion of the value of major US tech companies. But it’s also another example that the US strategy to try to contain Chinese tech is failing — and pushing them to get even more creative.

The fact that Deepseek R1 was released three days /before/ Stargate means these guys stood in front of Trump and said they needed half a trillion dollars while they knew R1 was open source and trained for $5M. Beautiful.

Behind every successful tennis player is a parent who refused to allow them to quit. - Conor Niland, The Racket

I've reached a critical point in my umpteenth attempt at playing through Assassin's Creed Odyssey—where the map starts to feel increasingly huge with all those map markers. This is usually where I quit. This time I've vowed to keep playing

To celebrate Madison Keys’ stunning run to the #AusOpen  title—and a big Bounces Bounce™️—I’ve taken the paywall off this article from days ago about how Keys retooled herself into a Slam champion with a racquet switch in the off-season. Enjoy! www.benrothenberg.com/p/madison-ke...

Remember, Linda Yaccarino was supposed to be the person who would put advertisers at ease and make them feel comfortable returning to Twitter.

Expecting Nole to play through an injury to "show he's on the level of Nadal" is bonkers

I'm no Djokovic fan but the Aussie crowd booing him for leaving injured is pretty lame. #AustralianOpen

Sasha Zverev told that Aussie crowd to shut the hell up about booing someone who's "given everything to this sport" - talking about Novak Djokovics semifinal retirement #AustralianOpen 🎾🥎

Booing a world-class tennis legend because of an injury is just the absolute worst kind of behavior from a sports "fan". Absolutely unacceptable #AusOpen

I might not be a billionaire but at least I'm not a f*cking nazi

Glad to see the apology from Tony Jones but man, that was some disaster class behaviour by a "journalist".

Can someone explain the purpose of the Netflix Jerry Springer documentary to me please? Like all I learned in two episodes was that the show was controversial, which I kinda already knew.

Everywhere I go I see this game. Makes me want to try it out

i opened threads and this was the first thing it showed me lmao @brandontsnider.bsky.social

remarkable to me that far from seeming cool or masculine zuck seems like an even bigger loser — the kind of nerd who preemptively gives his lunch money to the bully and thanks him for the opportunity

My Bluesky feed is 99% Americans complaining about their politics. How??

Rainy walk/run to start things off

Starting the new year off on the right foot (I hope). Time to get serious about #running again 🏃‍♂️

The face you make when a stressful week of camping comes to an end. Liberty is not a fan of strange dogs, noises, animals, or places, it seems

This time of the year always reminds me more and more that I am not a people person😒

Trying to get platinum on Spiderman: Miles Morales has reignited my love for gaming. I've been so focused on MP that I've forgotten what it's like to play good, single-player, narrative-driven games. Cyberpunk is next on the list, then might try Doom Eternal. I hear it's good

Annie Jacobsen's Nuclear War: A Scenario scared the living sh** out of me. Like how are we not all nervous wrecks right now? Destroy them nukes!

Spent some Xmas money I had lying around on #Cyberpunk2077 for the PS5. Now if only this camping trip can end so I can play it🤔

Okay this is just...scummy. I've enjoyed BO6, been taking a break for some Diablo recently but this just annoys me

RIP XDefiant. Yeah, what can I say? Played a few games and the game just didn't click with me. Sorry to see the "COD killer" go😞

Those who have finished #DeathStranding: any tips for getting past the first act? I've started the game for the 7th time now and find I keep walking away from it very soon. I've heard it gets better but how do I get to that point?

me: why is there only one set of footprints Jesus: i can fly check it out (Jesus flies around) me: (Jesus lands) Jesus: anyway you were saying something about your cancer

Had #BlackOps6 Zombies bomb out on me twice last night, where I'd just lose connection to the server near round 6 or 7. It seemed fine this morning. My internet had no issues on both occasions

yay

Now that I've fled Leon's site for bluer skies, I'm sure I'll be called an #Ex-X, but personally, I'll always consider myself a #TwitterQuitter.

Stephen Fry's Mythos is an absolute gem of a book. I'm #currentlylistening to the audiobook version which is in Fry's own voice and, my god(s), what a delight

The biggest argument for #opensource technology is just using windows 11

Finished Vance's Hillbilly Elegy over the weekend. I read it because someone recommended it as a way to gain insight into the thinking behind the then-possible re-election of Trump (we all know how that ended). Did I enjoy it? It wasn't the best thing I'd read in '24 but not the worst either

I'd rather be reading today...
