Not fully sure what to make of this or if it was even necessary

Truly can’t wait to see Eggers’ take on Nosferatu — been years of excitement for this!

The new #Superman teaser has me interested in reading comics again, and (as a huge Batman fan) I’ve never spent too much time reading Superman but I kinda want to now…
Earlier this week, NBC News published a pretty wild take :

So with that insanity going on, I’m glad to see leading voices in the gaming industry take some time to respond, like this opinion piece by @Plante.bsky.social over on @polygon.com, for example:
“Reminder to the media: Research video games before reporting on them”
No, Among Us doesn’t turn someone into an assassin
Finished watching #Foundation season 2 last night. 📺
After another slow build to set everything up it turned into a really solid season filled with interesting concepts and storylines.
Highly recommend for Sci-Fi fans
And now to figure out what to watch next over the holidays…
One for the weekend:
Trump is a soft man obsessed with seeming tough; Le Pen is a tough woman forever trying to project a soft touch.
(“President Emmanuel Macron Has Plunged France into Chaos” | written by the always on-point Lauren Collins)
Absolutely incredible game (and subsequent win) last night for my #ParisBasketball team away at Olympiacos Piraeus in the #Euroleague. 🏀
This marks the 10th win in a row, and improves the record to 11-3, sitting at the top of the standing in our rookie season in the Euroleague.
Stop using Chat-GPT and Gen AI as a search engine, says @lopatto.bsky.social rightfully🙇🏼♂️ 📣 🤖
My local football club @redstarfc.bsky.social has officially removed itself from Twitter and is one of the first football clubs to do so.
A question for my web browser nerds… Who’s abandoned Arc and made it back to Safari?
Thoughts? Pros & Cons?

📚 I met my friend @JamesMayes.bsky.social about a dozen years ago at a local chapter of TEDx in Brighton, where I used to reside during my university studies and the early stages of my career.
We quickly connected due to our shared heavy social media usage and mutual attraction towards good food & drinks, good people, and a passion for technology. Since then, we’ve been friends, and I’m grateful to have him as both a friend and a mentor in my professional life.
Over the past year, James has been battling brain cancer. On top of this life-altering diagnosis, he’s been incredibly busy. Since last year, he’s been involved in the following endeavors:
Needless to say, for community-oriented individuals like myself, this book is already a must-read. I was fortunate enough to read early chapters a while back and eagerly anticipate delving deeper into the book.
Setting up my #NFL playoff picks @nflfrance 🏈
Incredible Kith collab with Batman / Warner Bros. dropping tomorrow!
Too many great pieces to choose from as a streetwear aficionado and comic book nerd…
Wish me luck for tomorrow!
Gruber, about meeting Dr Oz (soon-to-be head of Medicare/Medicaid Services)
(…) a brilliant mind in the field of thoracic surgery, and yet dumb as a rock in everyday human interaction. I spent the first few minutes with him wondering if I should introduce myself. I spent the last few glad I hadn’t.

Another post inspired by @Manton, as I continue to read my way through my subscribed feeds:
I’m Tibz on most socials, @tibz.blog on Bluesky, and @tibz@micro.blog on Mastodon / @iTibz on Threads. These are all managed by Micro.blog. “Are you getting it? These are not three separate accounts… This is one place to post. And we’re calling it a blog.” 🤪
I’ve been loving the idea of Micro.Blog since its inception, but over the past few years, it’s really become a super interesting, powerful, and simple way for me to manage my personal online presence!
Followed @manton’s instructions and was able to set up my Bluesky account via Micro.blog (no longer tibz.bluesky.social but fully mapping to @Tibz.blog 😄
Either way: https://tibz.blog/bluesky also redirects directly to my Bluesky account anyways
Deactivated my Twitter over the weekend. Platform has changed a lot over the past 10 years or so — been using it since 2008-2009 and made a lot of Online-to-Offline/IRL friends there, but these days are long gone.
Via this personal blog hosted via micro.blog, you’ll be able to find me on Threads & Bluesky.
Fuck all your empathy, I want your fury 🎵
Hell of a line, Mike. 🎶
Can’t make this shit up 🤣
I mean don’t get me wrong this asshole (and his affiliates) has blood on his hands, but a decade ago if you had come up with this headline, woah!
Something’s to look forward tod to with extreme excitement: the new trailer for the final installment of the #MissionImpossible saga has dropped!
🎶 📚 Finished reading “Walking Disaster” a few days ago, the autobiography/memoir by Sum 41 founder Deryck Whibley. As a huge Sum 41 and pop punk fan, this was great and revealed a lot of things I had never heard of before. Highly recommend it for likeminded fans! #BookThreads
Damn you all to Hell!
Everyone wish a happy birthday to @adders :)
Happy #AppleIntelligence release day! Can’t wait to dive in later…

Getting ready to say goodbye to Foursquare, an app I’ve used almost daily since its earlier form back in 2009 between my time studying and working and living in the UK, then in San Francisco, Paris, and my native French Riviera. Back then I used to check-in to places I visited from the mobile browser of my Nokia blackberry knockoff (E63) (2009-2011), then an Android phone (2011-2013), and finally from the dedicated iPhone apps (2013+). During that time the Foursquare app (and later Swarm) has almost always been on my phone’s Home Screen.
I’m feeling genuinely sad about this, truly the end of an era for a formative time in my life, the late 2000’s-early 2010s “SoLoMo” (Social Local Mobile) apps.
4SQ has been invaluable, not just for memorizing/logging/remembering places I’ve been to, but also to discover new places.
I traveled the world by myself for most of 2017, but Foursquare was my guide to discover new favorites while visiting cities all around Asia or America for the very first time. The amount of time I’ve spent on this app is immeasurable and I have a hard time wondering how I’ll get by the next time I explore a new city in the world.
As I start looking at substitutes, it seems that Superlocal could be an option. Otherwise North.Industries which I need to look into. But I need to do a lot more research!

🎶 Well… this is just over a year away, but bound to be a lot of fun! @Offspring with @SimplePlan as the opening act 💪👨🎤🤘🎸🔥
🎶 Added my concerts to the @ACMomento Music Beta and I gotta say this one was possibly the most “you just had to be there” moment!
