We wanted to understand how regular Americans feel about Christopher Nolan's Odyssey. So we talked to three Heritage Foundation interns at a Shake Shack in Stanton Park.

Played thru "Mixtape" on PS5 in 1 sitting. Didn't save or pause it once. I didn't want to stop. Then all of a sudden I finished it. Great game. Really enjoyed it. #mixtape #ps5

Hello. Finally filming my first comedy special this summer. It's going to be at Neptunes in Raleigh, NC on August 13th. I figured after 21 years of doing this, might as well. Save the date!

Serious question. When "it" finally happens 🙏🤞🙏🤞🙏, how long will it take for things to go back to normal or is there such a huge amount of damage that this is just normal now? #bestdayever

Jared Leto is a weirdo. Skeletor is a weirdo. I think Leto is gonna be a great Skeletor. Plus he's in makeup and CGI the whole time basically. What's the issue with this? Stop hating it just to hate it. It looks great. New trailer is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #heman #motu #skeletor

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

From the article:
"I think that until the bubble bursts, AI will be used by quite a few game companies, and perhaps even beyond the bubble," says Brandon Sheffield of Necrosoft Games, which released the RPG Demonschool last year. "Look, I am not a fool – I understand that AI has some uses. Primary among those being the devaluing of work, the cheapening of labour, the laying off of creatives, and the generation of busywork for humans to fix whatever AI generates."

"It's also useful for burning through water, raising the prices of RAM and chipsets globally, and poisoning anyone near the data centres that run them. So there are a lot of use cases for AI. From spurring on the death of the creative endeavour to dissolving our economy, AI is absolutely gangbusters at what it does. We don't use it in our studio though."

There's an awesome bar by me in Raleigh called Rewind Retrobar (they're in Knightdale) and sadly they're closing after 3 years. I ran a semi-monthly comedy show there and the owners, Jessica and Dan, are 2 of the nicest people. Bought this huge art from them. #heman #tmnt #retro #koolaid #starwars
