so apparently Pizza Hut also had a very specific Carlisle cup, 551710, which is a 'Pebble Optic' cup which features a deeper texture. Carlisle only sells them in clear now and if you try to find them in red, it's rare?? there are only a few on eBay, and all resellers list them as 'out of stock'

A Carlisle 5517 16 ounce stackable tumbler cup in ruby red color, recognizable in various regional locations of pizza chains from our youth.

Reflection I'd just finished gluing the thousand pieces of my shattered mirror back together when suddenly it was shattered into a thousand more. I stare at the shards on the floor, which have already cut me plenty, wondering: If I replace the mirror entirely, will the reflection still be mine?

A monochrome pencil drawing of a girl sitting in front of a broken mirror, of which its glass shards have spread all across the floor in front and underneath her. The girl, who sits to the right of the drawing, is sitting in a fetal position, holding her legs with her arms. Her hair, dark in color with lighter ends, reaches just below her shoulders. The expression carried on her face is one of sorrow, with a faded tear trail left just below her eye and down her face. The girl has two pairs of antennas on top of her head, two per pair, a pair on each side of her head.

The drawing is signed "CCTL 7/13/2026".

"We disclose AI use openly and honestly on pages or other content where it appears" Right, you mean the single sentence in tiny font at the absolute bottom of the Callback page? The one that WASN'T THERE until you updated the policy? I mean, fine, I guess it's better than no disclosure (2/3)

Cable Contributes to Life@cctl· Jul 1

well, well, well. I saw this coming from a mile away, lol they updated the policy silently following the backlash (1/3)

Cable Contributes to Life@cctl· Jun 30

and now we play the waiting game. i'll come out with a review a week after getting it

Cable Contributes to Life@cctl· Jun 26

callback lore update: a response! TL;DR they lowered the price from $500 to $400. it's still hard to justify at that price, and Peri cites "premium memory" & headphones as the reason for the $500 price tag. Both are now optional at checkout they did not address the AI marketing material.

A screenshot of text on a gray background which reads the following:
"Alongside that excitement, many of you told us you wanted a more accessible entry point.

We listened.

We've worked hard over the last week to find ways to lower the price while staying true to the product we've set out to build.

The original $499 price reflected actual component costs: premium memory price surges, custom audiophile earphones, and no data deals selling your info to advertisers to offset the hardware cost.

To address these challenges while also being able to reduce Callback’s starting price, we’re introducing two new options:

You can now choose whether to add Commodore's custom-designed Hi-Def IEM earphones during checkout

Premium memory will be available as an option, not a requirement, while the product defaults to fully guaranteed, eco-remanufactured memory, that reduces e-waste as well as the price

Callback pricing will now start at $399. Those who preorder on June 30 will get an additional $50 off and free shipping.

The phone is not Commodore stepping away from its roots – it is Commodore growing strong enough to serve them, while reaching a much bigger world"

This Is Absolutely Incredible

Underneath is a spreadsheet displaying television programming by channel, date, time, channel call sign, program duration, program title, and episode title. Circle in red is the word "Kaboodle" inside of an episode title field which reads "The Whole Mitten Kaboodle; Eagle Tale." To the left of the red circle is a large red arrow which points towards a drawn, 2D character on to its left. The character, whose name is Kaboodle, has a circular, gray, round torso, with two arms and two legs attached. Each arm is a thin gray line with black horizontal lines. At the end of each arm is a red claw-like hand, claw-like in the sense that it has two grabbers. The legs of the character also feature a thin gray line with horizontal black lines in the opposing direction. At the end of each leg is a red dome-shape, representing the character's feet. On the character's torso is a white circle with a red, vertical rectangle in the middle, representing the character's eye. Underneath the eye is a white trapezoid, representing the character's mouth.

Can confirm that the C64 Ultimate is a real product and is of quality. I'm extremely happy to own one, but with everything going on now, Callback is beginning to be a punch in the face...

Cable Contributes to Life@cctl· Jun 20

I knew I wasn't crazy. On the day of launch they had the (AI-generated) specs graphic pictured on the left. You can tell there are inconsistencies and the AI color palette I just checked the site again, they silently swapped it with the one on the right... wtf... @commodoreofficial.bsky.social ???

oh the irony of viewing a flip phone advert on a flip phone. Outlook btw

Cable Contributes to Life@cctl· Jun 17

if these are your words regarding AI usage and your goal is to "serve people," then hold true to that and serve us some disclosure on AI-generated marketing images, please! @commodoreofficial.bsky.social source: commodore.net/faq/

Text on an off-white background with a header and 4 paragraphs, which read as follows:

"What’s Commodore’s AI policy?

To keep Commodore competitive where all other tech companies are using it, AI might be used where it adds meaningful value without disenfranchising people. Good examples would be accessibility tools or educational resources.

To give one example, if a national curriculum or education ministry begins requiring that AI coding or other skills such as prompt engineering should be taught, we may release educational tools that recognize that. Ignoring such realities would risk repeating Commodore history – and our CEO’s main job is making sure Commodore never blips out of existence again.

We also want to be clear: 100% of our products are made by actual humans. Every merchandise design, the motherboards in our computers, even the retro-futuristic 3D banner up there, were headed by talented artists. We embrace progress only when it serves people.

That said, it’s worth remembering that the first AI programs were running on Commodore computers! Who remembers ELIZA and NIALL, the Near Intelligent Artificial Language Learner? He actually wrote this FAQ! (Just kidding.)"
