Holy shit. Alice Huang alone sent $12bn of chips to China. Jensen did more than cheat on his wife (and also his mistress), this is a massive illegal smuggling ring with direct financial and carnal benefits for NVIDIA’s CEO

Records seen by The Wall Street Journal show Megaspeed-the company of the former Nvidia CEO's onetime mistress, Alice Huang-arranged to send nearly $12 billion worth of top-of-the-line Nvidia chips to companies in China between March 2024 and June 2025. Nvidia says it works to prevent smuggling. Megaspeed says it takes compliance seriously and is committed to following U.S. law. It also said this past week that it retained a U.S. law firm to lead a census of its graphics processing units.

WSJ: Huang’s affair “didn’t just blow up his career. They now threaten to implode the entire lucrative ecosystem he built in Asia to get China the chips it needed.” @wsj.com $NVDA www.wsj.com/tech/jensen-...

This is what a lot of people don't seem to realise about Rowling. It's not just mean comments on Twitter. It's not even just donations to regressive political parties. She *actively bankrolls* the entire transphobic lobby in the UK. Laws have been changed by her. She is monstrous.

If you need to give people a reason not to support Harry Potter anymore, JK Rowling is actively stripping queer spaces away from vulnerable students who need them. All of the money from her books goes to this.

what jk rowling has done to queer students in the uk

(it's Bad)

as you may know if you follow british politics, there is a piece of statutory guidance called KCSIE: keeping children safe in education. teachers are legally required to read part one of KCSIE every year. 

at my secondary school, like many others in the UK, we have a LGBTQ club/GSA. this club is ran by ally or queer teachers and is supposed to be an explicit safe space for students to use preferred names and pronouns.

however, this term, we were told that part of KCSIE this year involves "formal requests to socially transition" leading to a safeguarding process and parental intervention. we can no longer tell our previous safe queer adults our preferred names because they could lose their job and potentially their liscense to teach if it was found out that they didn't follow the reporting process when necessary.

if you're still a part of the harry potter fandom, you are FUNDING THIS. it's paid for from jk rowling's pockets and you're only making them bigger by giving her traction. it's not too late to leave and take a stand

This sucks so much. There are articles about it, and PSA is like "Wow, we are preserving this special lost media experience," by sticking it in a slab and not dumping the data. All they care about is preserving the value of investments. This is the antithesis of video game preservation!!!!

Just found out that the person who discovered a fully functional cartridge containing the exclusive 2005 PokePark Fishing Rally download play minigame decided to preserve it... in a PSA grading slab.

If you want a hint at just how silly Baten Kaitos can be between the grimdark bits, keep in mind there's a mandatory dungeon in between plot beats on Mira, the continent that looks like something out of an impressionist's wet dreams, called fucking DETOURNE that's based on Tower of Druaga.

While I enjoy the aesthetic of the For'ard Cabins more, the Baldesion Annex is still my favorite Inn in FFXIV, simply because it's the only Inn with unique music and it sounds a lot better than the "default" Inn theme.

BREAKING: The New York City Council just approved a ban on surveillance pricing. The measure passed 44-5, and Zohran Mamdani is expected to sign the bill. Companies will no longer be able to charge different prices based on algorithms or New Yorkers’ personal data.

We should make it a law that anytime some movie director makes another quote-unquote "werewolf" that's just a monkey with sharp teeth and pointed ears, they're immediately fired out of a cannon and jettisoned into the sun.
