And the Academy award for worst streamer goes to … Hulu! For cutting off a show that predictably and reliably runs long every year.

OpenSea’s trade volume has plummeted 98%(!!!) since its May 2022 peak—and it deserves to drown. Let’s break it down: 1️⃣ In a race to the bottom with Blur (also vile), OpenSea killed NFT royalties, gutting one of the format’s core selling points. 2️⃣ Without royalties, artists lost a key revenue stream—and a major incentive to keep promoting their past work. AKA the ongoing engagement that fueled trading and rewarded collectors. 3️⃣ With past work no longer generating income, artists were forced into churn-and-burn mode, cranking out more, more, more. 4️⃣ The market became oversaturated. Everything devalued. 5️⃣ Trade volume on OpenSea nosedives 98%. An own-goal. A self-inflicted wound that infected the entire market. 2% left until they're where they deserve to be. https://protos.com/opensea-goes-multichain-after-98-drop-in-volume/

The MCU is in desperate need of a makeover, and it looks like the Fantastic Four will bring some style to the Marvel mix. Now let’s hope the story is good. At least they don’t fight a cloud in this one. I think..? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzMo-FgRp64

A M3GAN sequel was inevitable, but an interesting premise for one was not. I’m cautiously optimistic about the direction promised here. Plot: Two years after M3GAN's rampage, her creator Gemma resorts to resurrecting her infamous creation in order to take down Amelia, the military-grade weapon who was built by a defense contractor who stole M3GAN's underlying tech. https://youtu.be/DTAYuj8K7YE?si=8wkRM7kfOwUd2d6P

Severance is starting to give me LOST vibes. I hope that all of these "cool" mystery things they're setting up have a satisfying payoff. Which means the writers need to know what that payoff is going to be upfront. Unlike a JJ joint where they had no idea and didn't care. https://media.tenor.com/ZVVJy0xcTw4AAAAC/lost

Movie rec! I caught an early screening of Companion. It’s sci-fi horror, funny, dark, and deals with tech+social topics. I don’t want to give anything away, so go in early and blind if you can. If you need a teaser, this creates intrigue without outright exposing the plot. https://youtu.be/PhcLjiVtgco?si=JZ90NMyYlNor1pOg

Am I the only one who’s tired of watching a TV episode then immediately seeing the cast & crew recap of what I just saw? If I’m not the audience this is for I don’t know who the hell is. Streamers: this comes off as pretentious as hell.

I’ve worked so hard to keep Mr. Beast out of my life. I’ve never watched one of his videos and never will. But, now, every time I turn on my Amazon Fire TV the first thing I see is his stupid haircut and his shit eating grin promoting his show. Fuck the algorithms and the creatures of the algorithms.

I want an OS level AI on my iPhone that knows when a breaking news item has reached me and hides the dozen redundant notifications from slower news organizations. I only need to read the breaking news ONCE.

To prove my identity, the IRS is asking me to confirm what month my mother was born in. In the process, they’ve proven that I’m a terrible son.

We’re all waiting for technology to advance to the point that we never have to say “Can you hear me?” when we join a video call. AKA: The Singularity.

On this day in 2005 the first video was uploaded to YouTube. It was called “Me at the zoo” and showed elephants while espousing conspiracy theories — I assume.

I’ve had a crypto ticker in my taskbar giving me constant ETH value updates for the past two years — and I’ve been depressed for the past two years. ETH is finally climbing and my crypto ticker stopped working. Who did I wrong in a past life to deserve this?

When an Uber driver accepts and then cancels my ride, they should pay me. Surge pricing if they leave me standing in the rain.

Alexa is in desperate need of an AI makeover. Every single day I ask to open “PBS” to watch the News Hour, and yet 66% of the time she says “Opening TBS!” or “Opening PBS Kids!” and I have no way of telling her she’s a fucking moron and should know what I want by now.

The latest SAG contract includes a stipulation that Awkwafina must voice the comic relief side character in every animated film. Don’t believe me? Watch any new animated film.

Hear me out. A buddy movie starring Jonathan Majors and Armie Hammer. Somebody get Harvey Weinstein on the phone! https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/jonathan-majors-assault-trial-verdict-marvel-b2466196.html
