Wow. Has anyone been on X for a minute? My X feed looks like a massacre.

So according to this article, by 2028, the iPhone might go away.
We’re going to be replacing it with VR glasses and headphones.

17 years ago, #NothingLikeTheHolidays became the first Latino Christmas movie released by a major studio. It remains a cinematic unicorn today.
Just in time for Nochebuena, I revisited the film to explore why it still matters and why it deserves a permanent spot in your holiday movie rotation.

I've been messing with AI images over the last few days and created these BTS shots from two of my favorite Latino movies: 'Stand and Deliver' and 'La Bamba.' They capture the most iconic scenes from each film. They're also completely AI fake.

I’m not sure if anyone here messes with AI, but… I just played with Google’s Gemini 3.0, and am truly stunned 😳 at the level of intelligence and TASTE the model has. It’s dare I say… revolutionary. Websites, video games, wallpapers that you’d ACTUALLY share are now just a warbled prompt away.
