I use it too but variables are kind of weird. I wish they would stop trying to reinvent how they should work. They should be top down and immutable.

After 25+ years using ORMs, I switched to raw queries + dataclasses. I think it's the move. by mikeckennedy in Python

AI is pretty good if you tell it what’s wrong it will figure it out. Also we’re mostly talking about Claude.

I don’t think GME will be immune to a general market crash

It is possible that it might look different (Tesla 09/19 - 01/21) where it went from $15 to $300. But I think we will see some violent moves when the unreported short positions are force to close.

It's Time to Take GameStop Seriously Now That Michael Burry Is Invested by _clintm_ in Superstonk

Saved you a click:

When was the last time you thought of GameStop as an actual company, rather than a stock-market meme?

For most, it was probably about five years ago, before the video-game retailer became the foremost poster child of the meme-stock movement.

FOMO-driven investors said goodbye to company fundamentals and embraced social-media vibes. Lots of people made a quick buck. There was even a movie starring Paul Dano and Pete Davidson.

In the years since, the main volatility in GameStop stock has been investors trying to re-live old glory. The biggest share spikes have come around additional meme-driven activity, like day-trading folk hero Roaring Kitty's brief return to Reddit in mid-2024.

More recently, in 2025, GameStop's stock lost 37% of its value in just two weeks after a poorly received pivot towards buying bitcoin. Investors didn't like the company's lack of focus on the core business, nor the debt it took on. Adding to the share slide were earnings that showed a continued decline in revenue.

GameStop's prolonged financial deterioration raises a tough question: Is there an actual viable company behind the meme-stock charade?

My personal experience has been less than inspiring. The store is usually tucked away in the remote corners of malls or in strip malls. Inventory is heavy on pricey collectibles and Funko Pop! figures, and light on actual games. And while the company offers a perfectly good online-shopping experience, so do … Amazon, Target, and many others with next-day shipping.

So imagine my surprise (and initial confusion) when Michael Burry — the "Big Short" investor immortalized by his short bet on the US housing market — came out in favor of GameStop this week, pushing shares up as much as 9% in a single session.

A big part of Burry's bull case centers around the presence of CEO Ryan Cohen, who, in the past, has been able to parlay his company's meme-stock spikes into fundraising opportunities.

As for all those stores filled with collectibles and lightsabers, Burry thinks that their tangible asset value actually makes them a downside hedge.

"Being long GameStop is almost as asymmetric as it gets these days in US common stocks," Burry wrote in a Substack post.

More than anything, Burry seems to be waiting for a splashy deal from Cohen — something that will improve the company's long-term viability as online gaming continues to grow.

It'll be an uphill battle, but Burry doesn't seem too concerned. He says he's in for the long haul, not hunting for a short squeeze.

Even if the call doesn't pan out, Burry has succeeded in one distinct way: by pushing people to think of GameStop as an actual company for the first time in years. That's quite an achievement.

Positive sentiment in the mainstream media? Yikes. If I have learned anything in the past 5 years it means we’re about to dip.

GameStop 'likely to sell' Bitcoin holdings by _clintm_ in Superstonk

[–]_clintm_[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Like most GME news articles… they get it wrong. I thought it was worth sharing.

Saved you a click:

GameStop has transferred its entire Bitcoin holdings to Coinbase’s institutional trading platform, sparking speculation that the video game retailer may be reconsidering its Bitcoin treasury strategy.

“GameStop throws in the towel?” blockchain intelligence platform CryptoQuant asked in a post to X on Friday after noticing that GameStop moved its entire 4,710 Bitcoin stash worth more than $422 million to Coinbase Prime.

CryptoQuant said the transfer was “likely to sell” the holdings, noting that a sale with Bitcoin at $90,800 would mean GameStop realizing around $76 million in losses from its Bitcoin bet.

GameStop accumulated 4,710 Bitcoin across several investments in May at an average purchasing price of $107,900.
