Jeremy Culhane is the best thing to happen to SNL in like… 10 years.
wow SNL went innnnn on Elon Musk during tonight's Weekend Update. Jeremy Culhane's impression of him is so good "Grok, do, like, an epic vulgar roast of me, Elon Musk" "Elon Musk, you're the worst thing South Africa has ever done. When you're on TV, it feels like an episode of Hate on the Spectrum. Maybe if you have 100 more kids, one of them will talk to you."

Discord has been incapable of shipping helpful product features for what feels like two years. Just more monetization, and more features to funnel you into using the app when you don’t need to or want to be.

Discord used to be a bastion for gamers and communities. Every feature was thoughtful and served its users. It wasn’t perfect, but nobody could argue that Discord was doing laps around every other comms company when it came to speed, UI, and quality. It just plain sucks now.

Least favorite part of vacation? Flying. But in-flight Starlink and sake will do the trip. Landing on Tokyo in <3 hours.

Still reading through everything, but first thoughts... After years of saying you can't just throw a touch layer on macOS and expect a good experience, Apple has just thrown a touch layer on macOS and is expecting us to believe it will be a good experience?

I’m sure they’re all real, organic users. No way a community of “game devs” would also find a way to juice usage numbers.

I would love to be a fly on the wall to hear the marketing team discuss if it should be “from” or “for” or “with.”

Streaming sports absolutely sucks in 2026. There's no reason for this to be a thing. Proud of the Wild for calling it as it is. Ballsy move.

I wish I was told that 4k for a 32” monitor isn’t enough in most cases. Upgraded to a 6k and it’s night and day. Gaming at 6k is pretty cool too.

Being able to vibe code Stream Deck plugins with Claude has been so great. Just small inefficiencies in my personal workflow, probably not relevant to anyone else, just fixed in 5 minutes of prompting and 15 minutes of troubleshooting.

This looks awesome, but I'm struggling to get past the Nic Cage make-up and accent.
The Madden trailer is here, and this movie already looks awesome

First photo with the #iphone18pro. I'm not a photographer by any means, but this was neat.

I believe we are supposed to be extinct by then. Big brain play.
Gamers have to be the most patient people in the entertainment industry confirmed
