Yes, this could imply an acquisition of sorts. Could also imply some accounting / financial issue. Just remember to freak the fuck out for the next few days and speculate as much as possible until they announce something.

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: blunt
Written for: Growth and marketing teams

It's important to me that this Labour goverment improves your life and your community in ways you actually notice. Al has enormous potential to do that. While the Tories stifled growth and innovation, my government will use Al to turbocharge our Plan for Change.

More than 1 million people downloaded Codex App in the first week. 60+% growth in overall Codex user last week! We'll keep Codex available to Free/Go users after this promotion; we may have to reduce limits there but we want everyone to be able to try Codex and start building.

It's not my data. The source is Cluvio, which is linked to in the article. I'd link to it in this tweet, but ironically, that would kill engagement. And I know that traffic is hard to count. Especially for a private company. But if you have more accurate data, then publish it.

A little secret. About 5% of our production traffic is on the Pi harness, about another 5% is on OpenCode. Reminder you can use your ChatGPT account in a flourishing set of other tools. We’ll continue to make Codex awesome, but you have options.

woah first thing Jensen says on the call: “There’s been a lot of talk about the AI bubble, here’s what we are seeing at Nvidia.” completely addresses the bubble concerns head first and then proceeds to challenge the narrative by explaining Nvidia’s growth

Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. t.co

That tends to happen when you compare a consoles launch month to sales one year later. Just to put this into perspective, the Switch 2 sold 3.82m this quarter (Apr-Jun) which is more than the PS4 or PS5 sold during the same quarter at any point in their lifetimes.

The lack of a physical disc is not too surprising, given that full game digital sales now account for around 80% of PlayStation software sales and 90% on Xbox. Not to mention hardware price hikes are shifting market share towards the lower cost digital console variants.

Can confirm Pokopia is a hit for Nintendo (& Koei Tecmo + Game Freak) Sold out at retail (retailers underestimated demand), record digital sales uptake, visible boost to Switch 2 hardware sales at retailers. Looks like the system seller they needed in H1 2026.

Valve is doing a great job building a true gaming ecosystem with a unified OS that spans multiple devices. If they lean into retail expansion and ramp up marketing, they could really break out of the niche space they currently occupy in hardware and compete with the big 3.

Yes, this will lead to internal re-evaluations for companies which will ultimately lead to increased prices, game delays, game cancellations, layoffs and more. Even if the tariffs are reversed today, this is already taking place.

I know a lot of people are confused about how Nintendo's Virtual Game Card feature works. So I made this easy to read guide to help everyone understand.
