The practical way to think about the future
There are two ways to think about the future. It’s easy to fall into the less-than-helpful one.

After a game-winning block by Luke Kornet, the Spurs hold on for a 114-112 win in Orlando. San Antonio improves to 15-6, and 7-2 without Victor Wembanyama. Absolutely massive stretch.
Victor Wembanyama’s presence — 7-foot-infinity, arms long enough to box with God — is overwhelming. The challenge now facing the Spurs? Making sure his absence isn’t.

Where will the Spurs turn without Victor Wembanyama?
The Spurs star is expected to miss a few weeks with a calf injury, leaving the team with a big void to fill.

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value
New from 404 Media: ChatGPT told a violent stalker to continue running his misogynistic and threat-filled podcast despite the “haters,” and to visit more gyms to find women. The man stalked women in multiple states, including touching and following from work

Same organisation that told Blake Griffon they wanted him to be a lifer, gave him a fake jersey retirement ceremony and then shipped him to Detroit.
They need to sign DeAndre Jordan and then mess with him to complete the "fuck Lob City" trilogy.

Statement from Clippers basketball president Lawrence Frank:
We are parting ways with Chris and he will no longer be with the team. We will work with him on the next step of his career.

Some idle thoughts on this for fun, in three broad categories:
1. The role of media
2. Platform hell
3. “And if all that somehow works…”

The best way journalists can support indie games is to cover more than whatever the current indie hits/darlings of the moment are. Games like Hades, Blue Prince, and Silksong do not need help with visibility, but discoverability is the biggest challenge facing many indie devs today.

I once said "mate get a hobby" to a dude mouthing off during a soccer game (we were opponents) and he just stared into the void for a bit
We gotta normalize responding to bullshit with "dude who fucking cares"

Because of @shineyezehuhh.bsky.social, I've read: The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All (now a fave), Love Bullet and Chainsaw Man. And watched a bunch of Gundam.
Next: Wind Breaker, The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity and Baby Assassins.
Absolutely shaped my media diet this year.

Reckon I've spent as much time thinking about @deadstaticdrive.com as playing it, mostly turning over two thoughts:
- The combo of "unknowable eldritch horror" and "the Americana freedom of a car and a highway" is absolutely delicious.
- It's a scavenger game with an abundance mindset.

Michael Jordan offered his insights on load management in the NBA: He doesn’t like it.

Wemby took two field goal attempts in the first half, didn't block a shot, and completely controlled the game.
At least twice, Raptors have gotten into the lane, seen Wemby waiting there, and straight up just thrown the ball out of bounds. He's disintegrating their offense by standing there.

Fun few minutes for Reed Sheppard. Got cooked off the dribble a few times. Was missed when he was open for 3 a few times. Nailed the 3 and got a nice steal. Then over dribbled and threw Sengun a hand grenade. He's going to be a fun watch this season. #NBAsky
