@The_Big_Chifa_ Currently on season 5 of a recent Fringe rewatch. A great show with a solid cast and pretty consistent writing

[James Higginbotham @launchany]

@AgrivarDragon I haven’t tried it. But what happens if you don’t even give it a try? Perhaps give it 2-3 sessions to see how it goes, the re-evaluate?

@glass_cannon92 @Liberty_Xtreme Cold Lazarus does some heavy lifting, both to help O'Neill to move on and become a bit lighter, and at the same time tying in the movie

Amazon doesn't know how to produce and manage content and IP anymore. It is so bad, they have opted to hire leadership from Netflix - the only other place that manages to be worse than Amazon.

So no, no property or IP is safe at Amazon under current leadership

[Fandom Pulse @fandompulse]

Spider-Noir premiered on Prime Video last week. One week in, Nicolas Cage told press he is unsure whether there will be a Season 2. The producers want to continue. The budget is the reported obstacle with Amazon.

Amazon canceled the new Stargate series yesterday after a 20-week writers room and active pre-production. The studio that just axed a show beloved fans waited 15 years for is now deciding whether its best-reviewed new series gets a second season.

Is Amazon a reliable home for genre properties?

[James Higginbotham @launchany]

That's because there were no electronics around to record it

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

I would just like to point out that I have never once seen a hoard of Amish people destroy any property, anywhere, ever.

Not once in the entire history of the internet.

@TheMiddleborne Not sure as I don't represent him, so you would need to ask him who he had in mind from that quote

Alderaan shot first

[Kevin Lamb @KevinLamb74]

I hate how the Death Star just obliterates Alderaan in cold blood after Leia clearly said the Rebel Base was on Dantooine.

George should have made it more clear that the Death Star was shooting in self-defense, maybe even having Alderaan shout something threatening as it fires.

[James Higginbotham @launchany]

Well Amazon, I guess it will be O’Neilll (with 3 L’s) by the time you get done with it?

[James Higginbotham @launchany]

@DungeonNoir And I thought I was the only person that saw that movie when it came out on network TV! John Ritter ftw!

[James Higginbotham @launchany]

@DungeonNoir While not as impactful as BG, Temple of Elemental Evil (2003) had D&D 3.5 and turn based tactics. I had hoped for something closer to BG + the gold box series, but it wasn't quite there. Seeing BG with a turn based option with be nice 👍

Easy fix: Spencer Gifts Stadium

[Barrett Linburg @DallasAptGP]

Dallas Mavericks announced they are going to build a new stadium at the Valley View mall site in City of Dallas on 104 acre site

One person mentioned to me last week that the trickiest part about this site may be getting zoning for a stadium...neighbors may fight it

> Claude, this wasn’t confidential

“You are absolutely right. In the process of staying confidential, I accidentally released the information.”

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Anthropic has confidentially submitted a draft S-1 registration statement to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Pending completion of SEC review, this gives us the option to pursue an initial public offering.

Anyone who used a computer between 1985-2010. What’s the one game you still think about?

[James Higginbotham @launchany]

@SiliconANGLE I agree and recently captured insights from using AI-in-the-loop (AITL) wrt intent and outcome based API design. Here is a summary of the findings along with the full report that includes a walkthrough of a design session: https://t.co/jicZBGpNbm

@justalexoki Jesus said He came not to call the righteous but the sinners. (Luke 5:32).

So yes, He would be on X, but He would start with TikTok

[James Higginbotham @launchany]

This is beautiful and I'm glad you shared it, my fellow brother in Christ. Just remember that none of us deserve God's mercy and grace, yet He loves us so much that He gives it to us through our Savior.

This means, however, that you are not striving to deserve it either. We all fall short. None of us can ever earn it. That is why it is grace.

Instead, love God, seek Him daily, immerse yourself in His Word, and know that you are His workmanship ("masterpiece") that He is shaping every day. -- Ephesians 2:8-10

And when you falter, as we all do, He is there with even more grace to those that confess and repent. -- 1 John 1:9
