it's tuck day my dudes
after months of back and forth with Sony about their planned acquisition of
Activision Blizzard King Microsoft has signed a 10 year Call of Duty deal with
Nintendo you may remember that Microsoft offered the same deal to Sony last month
which they have not accepted I guess Microsoft thought that they needed to
sweeten the pot for Sony by giving the company's board the fantasy of every
highly paid business executive getting cucked Phil Spencer confirmed the deal
with Nintendo in a tweet stating that they are committed to following through
upon the acquisition of Activision Blizzard King Jr you see they have a
dream to one day own a monopoly what's a
bit funny for Microsoft is that they actually used Nintendo's success without
Call of Duty as an argument for why their buyout of ABK wouldn't be a huge
deal for Sony I guess now that tactic failed they're using a trick I was too
unpopular to experience in high school peer pressure what you gotta have
friends you made me read that Elon Musk
AKA from musk Till Dawn just wants to give gifts to humankind but keeps having
to deal with Annoying interruptions like federal regulations and morality Elon is
dealing with two investigations this week the first is an investigation of
neuralink by the U.S department of Agriculture in response to internal
staff complaints that animal testing is being rushed leading to the needless
suffering and deaths of test subjects some complaints allege that pressure
from musk to accelerate development is causing botched experiments and bringing
really bad PR to the term Monkey Business it's not his fault in his
experience pressure creates emeralds it's just called hardcore science okay
not to be outdone San Francisco's Department of Building Inspections is
investigating Twitter's headquarters for violations of building code due to some
offices being turned into bedrooms for employees that's where I want to sleep I
guess the idea of making X the everything app inspired on to make X the
everything building too bad for codes musk is pushed back against the city's
investigation but in the city's defense they may just be confused as to why Elon
didn't give the beds to the homeless instead since that's what the people
want according to a poll posted by musk back in April Elon Musk should really
muzzle this uh Elon Musk guide I guess they haven't got to handle on impersonation yet Belgium's largest city
