As tonight's $PAID episode shows, crypto remains divisive, but then again so does tradfi. Plenty of people don't even want to touch a stock on their own. Crypto is the currency of the internet's attention, immanentized.

As much as I actually love Seattle despite everything, no way it's 4th in the world.
JUST IN: Seattle named the 4th "greatest city in the world" for 2026, trailing only New York, London, & Paris.

so i had to completely reverse my initial stance on Marathon (it sucks) Actually it kind of rules and feels like I'm back at my Mac Performa II playing Syndicate for the first time. This is a classic cyberpunk RPG with all the other players part of the act.

It's a big corporate gaming division. They are simply having her learn their products as part of onboarding. Don't look for "gamer cred" where they don't even want/need it. You might find that at actual small, startup studios.
Odd story building up on Xbox's new CEO Asha Sharma. Part of an ongoing rabbit-hole of a discovery concerning Microsoft's new Gaming Division CEO Asha Sharma. We have been told that the new CEO of Xbox will be good for the brand the Microsoft's Gaming Division. That we should just ignore or disregard the incompatible skillset of her work history vs the proper demands as the head of Gaming. Ok fine...but well problems start to arise when the new CEO showed her Xbox account to "dispel doubts". People started scrutinising, and odd things started cropping up: 1. the very FIRST achievement she unlocked was dated...16 January 2026, Halo MC Collection. So it is at best a one month old account. 2. achievements for multiple games unlocked on the same date, implying non organic grinding of various distinct games within the span of one day. 3. 100% completion in short "walking sims" type games like Firewatch (Jan 20, 3-4 hours total), Gone Home, A Short Hike, Townscaper, and BALL x PIT (she played for 43 hours in one week?) 4. How does the future CEO of Xbox have this much time to no-life so many different video games at once in such a short span of time? I doubt the future CEO has this much time to just play games if we are led to believe all her playtime is legit. IF its legit, it also raises questions about her procrastinating in her roles, playing games instead of actually doing work. So what does this mean? Welp people are suspecting that New CEO here, got someone from Microsoft to Stage an Xbox account for her, to manufacture legitimacy and trying to get people to stop scrutinising her nonexistent work experience in Video Games and possibly non-passion for it. Well if that is the case, firstly - they're doing an extremely bad job at it, and secondly - lying to Gamers' faces is just going anger them even more. I would have hoped Satya and Asha realised that, if it turned out Asha's entire Xbox account was really just staged.

I have nothing really against AI, but for the creative fields (minus commercial applications), the sacrifice of time and effort is what makes art worthwhile. Extending much further, our finite nature is what makes human experiences precious.
i didn’t think i’d become one of those “death is what gives meaning to life” people but it’s becoming clearer that human art derives part of its meaning from the way the artist sacrificed part of their finite life to make it. they could have done anything but not everything and they chose to devote months or years to this one thing in particular. that’s part of the message being communicated, is that sacrifice of potentiality, that choice to shower devotion on one thing and not another thing. i think part of what deeply offends people about AI art is the way it obviously gets used by people who effectively want to pretend to have made this sacrifice without having actually made it

Unironically best type of neighborhood, as long as there's a few cool young neighbors right next door.

This is very true. Being in shape does not equate to dressing well. Two entirely separate goals.

Can't relate. I actually think I'm the coolest person I know and like almost every decision I've made
so much of adulthood is just grieving in secret. grieving ex lovers, grieving dead friendships, grieving your parents sinking into old age, grieving the person you thought you'd grow into. grieving cities you never got to live in. grieving parts of you that couldn't survive.
