You can’t make up this stuff 😂 how does anyone become execs ? They learned the hard way that "the cloud" isn't made of actual water vapor and renting it costs a fortune 😂😂😂

Execs Confused and Horrified by the Huge AI Bills After Thinking They Could Replace Workers for Free

Playing around with sunlight and the #Raden dial from my #Knot AT-38. This mix of Urushi laquer and mother of pearl is such an unique look. #watches #watchesofmastodon

#Egypt was really close to pull one of the biggest upsets against #Argentina in recent time. Well tried 👏 . #WorldCup

Ngl, I feel a great satisfaction from the #USA being eliminated from the #WorldCup. Less opportunity for cheating, corruption and being distracted by outside interference. More focus on #football as a sport. The score also left no doubt about who was the better team. Good job, #Belgium. 🇧🇪

Family time, World Cup, concerts/festivals, and bbq. Summer has been off to a good start so far. ☀️ ⚽️ 🎶 🥘

Don’t mind me. Just enjoying the pink/salmon dial of this 14010 in various natural light conditions 😊. #watches #watchesofmastodon

As an American #Soccer fan, it’s my one and only sport, I am very disappointed to see politics and influence involved in #FIFA decision making. #Trump claiming credit for suspending the Balogun red card, a first in #FIFAWorldCup history, has sullied the tournament and called the integrity of the game into question. It smells of corruption to me; and has cast a pall over the upcoming match today. If it takes cheating and political pressure to win, it is DEFINITELY not worth it. This #WorldCup has already set a very negative precedent, with a host country, the USA, bombing a participating country during the tournament. One clear takeaway: FIFA’s Gianni Infantino is a corrupt stooge, grinning and pandering to politicians. #Football #Futbol #sport #corruption

Corruption was always to be expected from the #FIFA. But this is a big step towards straight up shameless cheating and match fixing in broad daylight. #worldcup https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/49287344/fifa-reject-belgium-request-balogun-clear-play-belgium

« Une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction » : Kylian Mbappé réagit aux propos racistes d’une sénatrice paraguayenne https://www.lemonde.fr/sport/article/2026/07/06/une-femme-meprisable-et-indigne-de-sa-fonction-kylian-mbappe-reagit-aux-propos-racistes-d-une-senatrice-paraguayenne_6721245_3242.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

The latest Terrible Toybox contractor agreement has a 218 word section about how you can't use AI and it was written by a real life human lawyer, so you know I'm serious. AI is a cancer to the creative process and I do consider programing to be a creative process.

A lot of #GrandSeiko are photogenic. I am not even surprised after years of ownership. But I have to say, some of them are ridiculously so. Sometimes I just randomly snag a few shots throughout the day. #watches #watchesofmastodon

For comparison at scale, this is a previous generation Speedmaster Professional on the same wrist. It is always odd to think that this 42mm watch sits better on my wrist than some of its “smaller” counterparts just because of shorter lugs. #watches #watchesofmastodon #omega

Trying out an #Omega Speedmaster 57 out of curiosity. The green dial is not bad. This reference is actually smaller (40.5mm vs 42mm) and thinner (13mm vs 13.6mm) than its Professional counterpart but somehow wears bigger on the wrist due to longer lug-to-lug (almost 50mm vs 47.5mm). This highlights how important every dimension can be and why you should always try in person if possible instead of fully trusting the numbers. #watches #watchesofmastodon

Texas will require Bible stories in public schools after the State Board of Education approved a mandatory reading list today. https://www.texastribune.org/2026/06/22/texas-votes-bible-history-lessons-public-schools/

YeoJin has gone all in with the summer pop. The video feels a bit Chuu-coded, but when's that ever going to be a problem?

The reason why grifters like Thiel, Musk or Bankman thrive in the US is because the country is essentially lawless and enables frauds. #fintech #banks https://youtu.be/hiE7NvONU5U

#GrandSeiko keeps doing what the enthusiasts have asked for and decided to refresh the most popular models of its Evo9 lineup with the latest benefits: UFA movements, clasp with micro-adjustment and their most recent alloys. It is great news. The only thing that will likely hurt is their prices as GS has been going upmarket lately. https://grandseikogs9club.com/chronicle-9/grand-seikos-evolution-9-collection-is-renewed/ #watches #watchesofmastodon

NHTSA opens a special crash investigation into an incident where a Tesla Model 3 slammed into a home in Katy, Texas, killing a 76-year-old woman inside. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/22/tesla-nhtsa-model-3-crash-autopilot-katy-texas.html

While at a gathering, revisiting a #Cartier comparison and confirming that I indeed picked the right size and the right metal for myself. I just like the smaller size and the solid gold more than stainless steel for the Tank. I cannot understate how important it is to have a local watch community as an enthusiast. Having people to speak to and being able to handle #watches, compare them hand-on makes the hobby all the more interesting. #watchesofmastodon
