#DeepSeek, justifiably, freaked the tech world out over the weekend. Experts say that while it's a major democratization of "reasoning" AI without the high price, America isn't suddenly in 2nd place. America is still leading in frontier models. https://t.co/plw9D3b1tL

Affordability crisis, shmafordability crisis. What's really important is what font the State Department uses on official government documents. https://t.co/CpFbVnJ30A via @CNET

The tug-of-war on font type isn't aesthetic. It's political.

I met Z at the start of my gaming journalism career. He's always been a pleasure to chat with. Really happy with his success!
Humbled that my @FortuneMagazine profile is live. It's surreal to look back on the journey of @SerenityForge. I'm so grateful for our amazing team, our community, and everyone who believes games can make the world a better place. Thank you for being a part of our story.❤️

I redownloaded Dreams to try Banjo Kazooie: Mumbomania and it’s actually insane. It’s embarrassing for both Sony and Microsoft imo. Sony for fumbling Dreams when it’s clearly capable of so much, and Microsoft for doing fucking NOTHING with Banjo.

The @analogue 3D is the definitive way to play your old Nintendo 64 library. It accomplishes what all other methods can't: giving perfect 4K output. But at $250, it's a niche device, especially when casual gamers can play N64 via Switch. https://t.co/WKCqIL7KX5 via @CNET

There are plenty of ways to play Nintendo 64 games in 2025. The Analogue 3D is made for purists.

Fun time to find out that Sports Illustrated apparently nuked Esports on SI entirely with no heads up, including all published work. Love that.

Last month, I travelled to #twitchcon2025 in San Diego to figure out one thing: What makes for a compelling Twitch game? I spoke to the makers behind @PlayPhasmo, @TaskTimeGame, @ARCRaidersGame and @playlastflag and gathered their thoughts. https://t.co/Ak9W7fZpwg via @CNET

My latest for @latimes: I travelled to southern India to document the rise of the AI "arm farms" — where young engineers strap GoPros to their foreheads and fold laundry or pack boxes to teach humanoid robots how to do chores. https://t.co/o6dgEtbuEN

We should hold all outside actors in Sudan, on all sides to account, whether it's the UAE, Egypt, etc. But it's not just Arab states. What the hell are UK arms doing in RSF militia hands? Why do western countries continue to fuel the arms trade that help fuel these conflicts?

The genocide in Sudan is horrific, unfathomable levels of cruelty and violence.
The initial death toll of the massacres in El Fasher, Sudan by the UAE backed RSF terrorists is now at 2,000 according to local sources. Satellite imagery spotted massive stains of blood all over the city. At least 80,000 people are still unaccounted for. #Sudan_War_Updates
