Supermassive Games CEO Robert Henrysson has stepped down following the terrible launch of Directive 8020, after leading the studio for the past two years. Henrysson said the decision was the right time for new leadership and is also leaving his role at Nordisk Games. His departure comes just weeks after the release of Directive 8020, which was delayed into 2026 after Supermassive announced layoffs affecting up to 36 employees last year.

Remember mashing the same key three times just to type one letter on a T9 keypad? Commodore just brought it back in 2026, except this one somehow still runs 99% of Android apps. Runs Sailfish OS, has a 3.25-inch touchscreen that's disabled by default 😵‍💫, and there's an external display as well. There's a 3.5mm headphone jack as well. The Commodore Callback 8020...

The latest off-balance sheet datacentre financing wheeze - this time it's $META. 80/20 Blackrock/Meta JV - Meta brings $2.3B in assets, BlackRock adds $4.9B cash (backed by a $12.5B debt facility), and Meta takes a $1B distribution to true-up the equity. Meta is only committing to a 4yr lease. A Residual Value Guarantee (RVG) means Meta guarantees a RV of $13bn Why? Classic off-balance-sheet financing. The 20% equity cap and 4-year initial term allow Meta to avoid consolidating the JV's $12.5B debt load on its own BS. Meta keeps LT control - but the debt and the asset sit off B/S.

How to Build a Powerful Social Media Brand with AI: Five Steps. Building a super brand requires a structured strategy: define your core goals, pinpoint target audiences, select appropriate platforms, deliver consistent value (such as the 80/20 value-to-promotion rule), and systematically track engagement analytics to refine your approach. Define objectives. Decide whether social media should build awareness, generate leads, strengthen trust, or support customers. Know your audience. AI-powered analytics can identify interests, behaviors, sentiment, and emerging communities, helping brands replace broad demographic assumptions with evidence. Choose platforms strategically. Focus on where your audience already spends time and adapt each message to the culture and format of the platform. Create consistent value. Follow an 80/20 balance: roughly 80 percent useful, educational, or entertaining content and 20 percent promotion. Generative AI can accelerate research, ideation, writing, translation, imagery, and video production—but human expertise and a distinctive brand voice must remain in control. Measure and improve. Use analytics, social listening, and predictive tools to evaluate reach, engagement, conversions, and posting times. Conversational AI can also answer routine questions and support communities around the clock. At BrandAI, we believe AI should amplify brand intelligence, not automate brand identity. The winning formula is human positioning, AI-enabled execution, and continuous learning—building a brand that is recognizable, trustworthy, and relevant to both people and machines in every digital environment.

🚨 BREAKING: Senate Majority Leader John Thune says it's time to hold Democrats accountable for opposing the SAVE America Act, says he "hopes" to get a floor vote on SAVE as recess begins this weekend "This is about going after Democrats, making [SAVE] an issue in the fall campaigns and holding THEM accountable for being on the wrong side of an 80-20 issue with the American people." "But we will try and set up a way to get more votes on that, to put them on the record again." "The fact of the matter is, you have bloc opposition from Democrats in the United States Senate when it comes to this issue. And that's why it's so important that we elect more Republicans to the Senate." FOX: "That wasn't a 'yes...'"

🚨 NOW: House Budget Committee Chairman just said Republicans are preparing for JD VANCE to be the possible TIE-BREAKING VOTE who pushes elements of the SAVE America Act to President Trump's desk under budget reconciliation "Budget reconciliation does not require 60 vote threshold in the Senate...even if you lost a couple of Republicans, I can't imagine why anybody would oppose an 80-20 issue and basic safeguards like that." "Even if we lost two or three Republicans — with the vice president in the chair, we can do it!" However, it must STILL get passed the Democrat parliamentarian! IGNORE HER.

I like Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane over Messi and I hope for this match England comes out on top despite the attempt to rig. Dude Bellingham looks taller during warm up. Hopefully this is a more competitive match then we got yesterday. I've got a good feeling about this. I hope the referees let them play! Attendance is like 80:20. Argentina to England. That is crazy. Basically an away game for England. . Ready for England to whoop some ass today lads
