Our world lost the first American-born sumo wrestler who became the first non-Japanese Grand Champion or "Yokozuna".
Winner of 11 championships, physically imposing at 203 cm (6'8") | 233 kil (514 lb).
He died of heart failure at the age of 54.
RIP #Akebono san
Of all the bad things YouTube has done, this is by far the worst.
After you skip an ad, there’s this persistent pop-up about the same ad which you have to skip again by going into the 3-dot menu.
May not sound as bad but is VERY annoying.
I don’t understand mobile #gamedesign. I have to skip three menus and cancel 2 ads to get to the next level. The continue and “video ad” icons are the same; a right-pointing triangle. How is this good UI / UX design?? You make a sale by removing steps… not adding them.
🚨🇺🇸 Best live reaction to the New Glenn explosion:
"Hey, we out here fishing and shit, and we just witnessed a fucking explosion."
"Bro, WTF"

The comments are crazy. Half these accounts are fake if you click on them. Just meant to rage bait and sway public opinion. Your family and livelihood matter the most. Though im not a fan of gen AI, gotta admit those dancing cat videos on TikTok are funny.
So… pretty much impossible to find a job at 56 years old in an industry that collapsed 18 months ago. I’m available for freelance. Bring it on! https://t.co/NTbEX0J7vE
3D Gaussian Splat tech is getting wild. What are the projected real-world practical use cases for it?
Off the top of my head:
-Real-estate, Airbnb, event spaces
-Ecommerce product viz
-Virtual camera moves
What else?
I gotta admit. This kid can ball. He’s got mad handles. I ain’t been feeling much animation lately. But this one put a smile on my face. The raps wuz good. Not gimmicky. Show it some love on streaming. #GOATmovie
@gleb_alexandrov No one read the terms of the dev fund. No doner gets stake or influence over blender. Most of the rage on both sides… they don’t even use blender. And some of those profiles are fake accts whose sole purpose is to gaslight.
Anyone celebrating this needs to remember that Ton Roosendaal was not against AI. He announced the Blender Lab project in 2023 specifically to integrate, among other features, AI.
"If Blender wants to stay relevant, we have to be ready for that... otherwise we might lose it and become obsolete".
Yay, Blender losing even more money, as instigated and celebrated by someone who ADMITTED HE DOESN'T EVEN USE BLENDER!!!
(Oh, but he made a small donation, so that makes it all better...)
Evil. PURE EVIL.
@IsThisA3DModel Why do you want to ruin Blender Foundation? These corporations are given money to help Blender and Blender help artists. Taking this money from BF will not stop any of those corporations, and people who want to use AI will continue using AI. You're not helping anyone! 🙄
