Do I Look Like Him?

S2!Jinx x Fem!reader(ft.Isha🩷, & Vi)

A/n: This contains spoliers to the 2nd season of Arcane( also this writing may not be 'inline" with the episode im basing this off of, S2 EP6). Use of 'Y/N' a few times!(Also this is a request from lola-hernandez-123, hope you like it!(i did my best🩷🤗)

Summary: Reader arrives just in time to save Isha but get really hurt in the process and reveals something shes been hind from Jinx and Isha

Just as everthing seemed to be going great. Vander's back (just not in the way you'd imagine), Vi's 'darker' than before, and Jinx and Isha are Jinx and Isha. Wondering around this place gave Y/n a culty yet cosy feel, not a dark abandond aircraft in a cave cosy but cosy. "Hey toots, whacca thinkin about?" Jinx asked before taking a bit out of the strangley tastey fruit, as she looked around with her scope. "I don't alot i guess." Y/n explain but not really. "Yeah i get it, with Vander and Vi back a-and now Isha it feels like were kinda one big family again, yeah know?" Jinx asked still looking around. "Yeah and i-i just think tha-" Bingo slippery as an eel" Jinx interupped without realising, spotting Isha hinding something in her hat. "Their ya are,i knew you could do it!" Jinx praises Isha, taking her gun out of her hat. "Hey,i'll be right back." Y/n said getting up, ready to walk out of the 'treehouse' " Huh-Oh okay toots" Jinx said, turning back to tell Isha a something.

After a short while of Y/n just walking around with now Isha tailing her, they heard a few crashes coming from where Vander was staying. And instinctivly running to it, catching up with Vi on the way. "You." They heard as Vi pushed open the door, and Y/n and Isha run over to hug Vander. "Are you okay? Wh-what happened?" Y/n ask as Jinx fixed Ishas hat. "Yeah it was nothin just a-" BOOM. A giant blue light filled the sky for a secound then. Everything seemed to go quiet, until all the 'followers' fell over and let out a horrid scream.

We all ran outside to see what was happening, it was awfull, they all seemed like they were in a painfull trance as they just stared up into the sky. There then was a low roar coming from behind us. And as we turned, we saw Vanders 'pod' glowing a bright orange. Just as Y/n and Jinx began to shield Isha. What seemed to no longer be Vander emgered for the pod, eyes and mouth now burning orange lava . "Vander" Vi questioned, slowly walking toward him, shielding everyone behind her. Vander letting a roar before puking up lava, unknowing scaring Isha.

It was a bloodbath, Vi had a deep cut to the stomach, Y/n laying on her side with mutiple deep cuts on her body, Jinx cant get up and theres no sight of Isha, untill, Jinx notices a little blue blur past by her with her gun i hand. "Y/n?!" "Isha!" Jinx yelled as she was hed back by Vi. And just as Isha's about to pull the trigger, a big, bright purple lighting struck Vander down and revealed a fully head Y/n, carring a pasted out Isha in her arms.

A/n: So sorry if this is a mess and a bit all over the place, i edited at like 11 at night🤫 Also if yall what a diff version of this let me know!🩷 (requested by. lola-hernandez-123)

I haven't really had a chance to hyper analyse the Two Embers trailer from the steam launch so I'm doing that

(Cutting cause it's a bit long lolol)

1. The Children

All of the children are wearing shades of brown and yellow, except the main child who wears a bright blue cloak.

We can assume from here on that this child is The One/Alef.

The One's mask is indented and is spiked at the sides and the top, I assume this is a nod towards The One's concept mask, a usually four spoked star with power stone (?) in the middle.

The One is wearing a gold broach with a deep blue gem in it, it's clear this child was seen as an important person/a person of interest. This could also be gotten from how the child is sitting closest to the Ancestor in charge, but this may be a stretch.

The general 'vibes' of this scene may imply that this is a kind of school trip scenario, they are going to see the Elder of the Isle or just the Temple. I could see this being a coming of age ceremony, except there seems to be multiple age groups on the boat, excluding that theory.

(Edit to add) The One/Dawn Ember is referred to as an orphan, so it's possible that the boat is filled with fellow orphans that are going to the Isle Elder's Temple to learn things/ be taken care of. This is backed up by some concept/OG lore we have on the Isle Elder, in which they teach basic skills to kids, helping them find their potential, and are comparable to a kindergarten teacher. (Credit to Vivsky for this theory, wanted to add it cause it was interesting)

2. The Authority Figures

The clothing is very distinct with these characters, pure white cloak with a head covering, adorned with a dark pink shoulder scarf. It isn't clear on the other two Ancestors, but the one in charge of keeping the children in line has a broach with a symbol on it keeping their scarf in place.

Only the Strict Ancestor has a Crowned Mask, whereas the others do not, this explains why the Chatting Ancestors are not taking control of the children or doing any work, compared to the Strict Ancestor.

Less important, but the use of clanging sticks together to keep the children inline when they got excited was something, it could be a universal form of discipline in all the realms, or it could be specific to the region.

The use of stone tablets and simple cloth bags tells us about what kind of technology they had access to at the time of the Young One.

Despite their 'limited' technology, they are capable of having massive boats in the air, using multiple stone 'wings', and possibly magic, to get in the sky. It's also something to note that there is a kind of guide directing the boat with a stick, the guide being very clearly skinny, it could imply the skies being different to ours, or the Guide Ancestor was using Cyan Magic, aka wind magic that the Valley Elders use.

3. The Manta

This part is very short, but this image alone shows how the Greater/Elder Manta we are used to are nowhere as colossal as the Manta from the Old World. Look at the tiny ants compared to it, absolutely wild.

The heads of the Manta differ from grey to gold, depending on the evolved set of wings the Manta has -> Feathered Wings have grey heads, Smooth Wings have gold heads.

4. The Temple and Surrounding Structures

We can see lots of boats heading into the upper island, aka the Temple. Not all boats are directly heading towards it however, it seems as though the Temple is a kind of waypoint for travellers, similar to a lighthouse, guiding people on their way to new land (strengthened by the light coming through the Bell at the top of the temple).

The Temple is much brighter and has dark blue painted patterns that are a contrast to the lighter stone. The doorway is a bright red, probably a cloth covering the doorway to create a sense of privacy, it is a sacred (?) Temple after all.

The area around the Temple is a lot less bustling and full of life then the main Isle, maybe people don't have a reason to be there or the Elder doesn't like people loitering in sacred land (as far as I remember, Isle Elder was described as spiritual or 'traditional' so this could very well be possible imo)

There is a lot of land that has been covered up by clouds, now visible, it's almost anticlimactic that it is simply a glade, but somehow extremely fitting for the Isle of Dawn.

Once again, the proportions are different than in-game, the Temple looks massive compared to the boat.

There are triangular banners (forgot the name lol) coming from the spokes of the Temple, this is shared by the Prairie Temple, and could have some prevalence. I like to think it's just to make the Temple more welcoming to guests however.

There are two other structures in these shots, a small building, one story probably, off to the side of the Temple, and a tall bell tower.

Going off the previous point, the small building could have multiple purposes. It could be a communal area for travellers, similarly it could be a kind of station for merchants or others to manage resources when traveling in the Isle Region. In a different direction, it could be a place of religion, a prayer building of sorts? We know that there was prominent religious belief before the Power/Technological Era so I wouldn't think it would be too far of a stretch to assume it's something of the sort. The building, assuming the Temple's interior is consistent with the in-game design, could also be where the Isle Elder resides, as there aren't many other visible places in the Temple, unless they're a bat or something.

There isn't much to think about around the Bell Tower. It's definitely interesting that it exists at all considering there is a bell at the top of the Isle Temple but it could have significance that just isn't shown in the trailer. It could also serve as a Lighthouse as the Temple does, there is a bit of distance between the two so it's likely that the Bell Tower is for those travelling into the Isle. It could also serve as a watchtower, keeping a lookout for wandering manta or storms.

Anyways, that's pretty much all I have to say and I've already said a lot so I'll shut my yap for now lolol. In all seriousness, I can't wait for Two Embers to come out and finally learn about the Old World and its people, apparently it's supposed to be coming out in 2024? I read somewhere that it was supposed to but idk if it actually will. Garghhhh I'm so autistic for this silly friendship game.

[wasongo]

I think I got a lot of new followers recently because twitter keeps going to shit. However, as you probably know I can't and don't post nsfw art here.

You can find my NSFW socials on my pinned post. I think a lot of people are hesitant to join platforms which aren't fully available to the public yet but if you'd like to keep up with my nsfw art I'd like to:

Urge you to visit my website and subscribe to my RSS feed for gallery updates!

Suggest you follow me on either Pillowfort or Cohost (18+).

In the last year I have started using PF and Cohost more than Mastodon, as they've implemented new features and their posting system is more in line with what I enjoy: robust tagging and filtering, ability to post MANY images, and readmores for long posts.

If you've been hesitant to join either of those platforms since you don't know what to expect here's a small-ish review of both purely from my experience as someone who: a) enjoys profile customization b) likes to have an organized art gallery that is filterable by tags.

This review is aimed at artists looking for NSFW spaces to post! UI screenshots might have suggestive terms and images. Proceed with caution.

Edit: Good grief tunglr, if you open this on the web dash the images aren't shown in the neat galleries I put them in to make the post shorter. Head on over to the permalink if you'd like a better looking post!

Let me just say that if you're looking for a review on more technical aspects of these platforms, like security and moderation policies. I'm not your guy. You'll have to look elsewhere for that. I'm focusing on QoL UI and community aspects.

Though both these platforms allow nsfw, please make sure to read their ToS/Community Guidelines for rules on what is and isn't allowed. Though as far as I'm aware they have pretty similar rules.

Pillowfort

Overview::

Pillowfort has more years under its belt being available to users than Cohost does, as such I THINK the artist/fandom userbase atm is larger, which means you might see more activity there. UI as of right now is very comfortable and the site runs pretty smoothly. Loading times are very decent. Posting is easy, though the image uploader is a little wonky (they are working on fixing this). You are able to create and manage communities based on interests or themes, which people can follow or join and all post in the same space. You can personalize your profile by adding images, links, and formatted text to your sidebar, as well as customize your own profile colors. Tag searches in my experience yield results of both art and aesthetic irl porn and gifs. If that's something you miss from ye olden tumblr days it might be worth a look.

Pros:

Posts have privacy options (everyone, logged in, followers, mutuals, only me)

Has a DM system

Posts have Commentable, Rebloggable, NSFW toggle

Can post MANY images on a single post

Readmore feature for long posts

Robust tagging system

Robust filtering system: hide or click-through warning (by installing Tassel userscript only)

Customizable profile colors, Light/Dark mode for whole website

Communities you can follow/join for shared interests

You can filter posts on profile by tag

You can filter posts on profile by "original poster" or "reblog"

Cons:

wonky image uploader, cannot upload multiple images at once

Cannot search for multiple tags at once

Search for terms with periods in them is currently broken (ex. "D.Gray-man" will not yield any search results)

Communities have few moderation features atm

Without Tassel installed the filtering system is pretty garbage atm (you can either show or hide nsfw or filtered tags completely, with no click-through warnings)

No multiple account/side blog feature yet

Some inline image formatting options are broken atm

Default endless scrolling

No progressive web app for mobile atm

For a more in depth explanation of PF's UI and features you can check out this official post.

Here are some images of the UI.

---

Cohost

Overview::

Cohost feels like it has a small artist/fandom userbase at the moment. However, to make up for that it has a pretty slick UI, it works great as a progressive web app on mobile, and it recently implemented an ASK system similar to tumblr's! Everything loads pretty quickly, and you can switch between your "latest posts" feed and your "bookmarked tags" feed. You can access your likes as a bookmark system, but as a whole "notes" and engagement numbers except for comments are not visible anywhere (this is wonderful for my personal mental health). It has a simple post editor and though the image uploader only allows 4 images that will load with lightbox, there's a workaround to upload MANY inline images if you want. The catch is you'll need to use a bit of markdown or html to do that. (more on that below) Though you can't personalize your profile colors, you can add personality to your page by making very cool pinned posts and adding images to your sidebar.

Pros:

Animated avatars! (listen i like having my animated komui icon)

You can make multiple "pages" (blogs) which function independently for comments/asks. switching between pages is effortless

Ask system, with anon toggle (you cannot reply privately atm tho)

2 Factor Authentication

Progressive web app for mobile works like a charm

You can preview your post before you post it

Posts have a NSFW toggle and you can save drafts

Can post MANY images in a single post (bit of a workaround as you'll need to upload your images to a draft first and then add them to a new post with some markdown or html code)

Readmore feature for long posts

Robust tagging AND filtering system (show, click-through, hide completely), plus CW system to give your posts additional click through warnings you deem necessary

You can do incredibly cool things with HTML and inline CSS on your posts

You can filter posts on profile by tag, and you can have pinned tags

Toggles for hiding reblogs, replies, and asks on profiles

Paginated browsing instead of endless scrolling (things load faster)

No engagement numbers visible ANYWHERE

Cons:

Image uploader does not let you upload multiple images at once. Limit to 4 images (can upload more as inline images with code)

Advanced post formatting (ex. bold, italics, bullet list, inline images etc.) has to be done through markdown or html + css which is not the friendliest for those who don't know any code (there's a button for a markdown cheatsheet when you post tho!)

No dark mode, or customizing profile colors atm (however there are workarounds to changing site colors with Stylus extension)

Cannot search for multiple tags at once

Cool things you can do with CSS on your posts might look very bad on mobile

Since you can do some crazy things with CSS on posts, you might come across eye straining visuals and movement on some posts. There are settings to tone this down, and people are pretty good about tagging things, so with some good filtering you should be able to avoid this however.

A little quieter on the artist/fandom front (but we can change that)

Here are some images of the UI.

If you made it to the end of this review thanks for giving it a look! If there's something vital you might want to know that I missed in regards to UI and posting features let me know and I will try to answer. But again, this is not a technical/security issues/bugs review so don't ask me about that.

Lastly, I've been seeing a handful of NSFW artists I follow on twitter hopping on bluesky. I REALLY suggest you do a little research on the owners and platform to see if you think joining is worthwhile, since I have a feeling many artists might not want their alternative to be a site owned by crypto advocates (and also a billionaire). Some basic research will get you there. Just take heed and use your best judgement. On that note Cohost is strictly against crypto (I'm guessing PF might be too but I don't have a link that I can point you to confirming this atm).

I believe community driven and supported platforms are the way to go. If you end up thinking either of these two places are worth your time, do consider getting your friends and favorite artists on board or supporting them! You'll get added perks on both platforms if you become a supporter. PF recently added the ability to have MULTIPLE AVATARS (PFPs I think they're called nowadays) which I think is super cool (i really miss that from LJ days).

Again, thanks for reading and I hope to see some of you there!

i can't even like. be too terribly mad about this because 1) it made me laugh, and 2) i Do Not expect the common layman to understand the intricacies of wordpress theme building but. a coworker reached out to me all frazzled bc he bricked a site, like so bad i couldn't log in to poke around. keep in mind he's a comms coordinator. no coding experience. so i looked in the error logs to see how he possibly could have bricked it when he really only interacts with the site on a content level (most coding he does is light html with inline css which can make a site look ugly if it's wrong, but it can't brick it) and GOOD GOD MAN he said he'd edited functions.php using a script he found on stack overflow. i AUDIBLY laughed. boy. that's a load-bearing coconut!!

Some live for the weekend, others can’t wait that long.

The VW Polo MK2F G40 is a perfect example of a hot hatch; small, light, and nimble. With a curb weight of just 1800 lbs, the small inline 4 making about 114 bhp powers the car to go 0-60 in 8.6 seconds. The G40 edition of the Polo was slightly lowered, featured VW’s G-Lader supercharger system, Le Mans style seats, and BBS RA cross spoke wheels. An unknown number of modified G40’s were also produced for racing in the Polo G40 one-make series probably like the one on the first slide.

Discover the BMW S1000XR / TE – Sport Touring Redefinedb

The BMW S1000XR / TE is not just another sport touring motorcycle—it's a redefinition of what it means to ride in style, speed, and comfort. Blending the soul of a superbike with the practicality of a touring machine, the S1000XR / TE offers a compelling proposition for riders who demand it all: power, precision, and luxury. Let’s explore how this dynamic machine rewrites the rules of the road.

A Perfect Fusion of Performance and Touring

Superb Sportbike DNA

At the heart of the BMW S1000XR / TE lies a high-performance inline-four engine derived from BMW’s legendary S1000RR superbike. With over 165 horsepower and a refined throttle response, this machine offers thrilling acceleration and effortless highway cruising. The bike reaches 0–60 mph in under 3.5 seconds, yet feels refined and manageable in daily riding conditions.

Advanced electronics like Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and multiple riding modes ensure that the S1000XR / TE delivers optimal performance across various road conditions. Whether you're tearing through alpine switchbacks or cruising along the coast, the XR’s performance remains razor-sharp and responsive.

Touring Without Compromise

The ‘XR’ in BMW S1000XR / TE stands for ‘cross road’, and true to its name, this motorcycle is designed to cross continents with ease. It offers a more upright riding position compared to pure sportbikes, reducing fatigue during long-distance travel. Heated grips, cruise control, and an electronically adjustable suspension (ESA) make the XR / TE exceptionally comfortable over long hauls.

The TE variant (Touring Edition) adds premium features including luggage options, GPS preparation, keyless ride, and upgraded ergonomics that cater to serious tourers. BMW ensures that comfort and performance are not mutually exclusive.

Engineering and Technology

Dynamic ESA and Suspension Excellence

BMW Motorrad’s Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) technology enables real-time suspension tuning based on riding conditions. The system adjusts damping for the front and rear suspension automatically, ensuring optimal traction and comfort at all times.

Riders can switch between suspension modes such as "Road" or "Dynamic", tailoring the setup for either plush touring comfort or sporty responsiveness.

TFT Display and Connectivity

The BMW S1000XR / TE comes equipped with a 6.5-inch full-color TFT display, offering intuitive navigation through ride data, GPS, media, and bike settings. BMW’s Motorrad Connectivity allows seamless integration with smartphones via the BMW Connected App. Riders can access turn-by-turn directions, make phone calls, and control music right from the handlebar-mounted multi-controller.

This level of technological integration elevates the ride experience, keeping you informed and entertained without distraction.

Design That Demands Attention

Aggressive Yet Refined Aesthetics

The BMW S1000XR / TE exudes aggressive sportbike styling with a distinctive asymmetrical headlight setup, aerodynamic bodywork, and a sharp tail section. The bike is available in multiple color schemes, including the sporty Racing Red, elegant Ice Grey, and bold M Motorsport livery.

Attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the sculpted fuel tank to the LED lighting. The design not only enhances visual appeal but also contributes to improved aerodynamics and rider protection.

Ergonomics and Rider Comfort

Despite its sporty appearance, the BMW S1000XR / TE places a strong emphasis on rider ergonomics. The seat height is accessible, and the handlebars are positioned to offer both control and comfort. A windscreen adjustable in multiple positions helps reduce fatigue by deflecting wind at high speeds, while optional comfort seats and handlebar risers further enhance long-distance ride quality.

Safety and Assistance Systems

BMW has long been at the forefront of motorcycle safety, and the S1000XR / TE is no exception. It includes advanced systems like:

Cornering ABS Pro

Hill Start Control Pro

Dynamic Brake Control (DBC)

Intelligent Emergency Call (optional)

These features work together to keep you safer on the road, whether you’re navigating slippery city streets or descending steep mountain passes.

Who Is It For?

The BMW S1000XR / TE is built for riders who crave versatility. If you want the thrill of a sportbike but the practicality of a touring motorcycle, this is your dream machine. It appeals to:

Long-distance tourers who value comfort and performance

Riders transitioning from sportbikes seeking upright ergonomics

Adventure seekers who prefer paved roads but desire capability and speed

Whether you're commuting, canyon carving, or crossing countries, the S1000XR / TE delivers an exhilarating yet composed ride.

Real-World Performance

Owners of the BMW S1000XR / TE consistently praise its reliability, low maintenance costs, and all-around usability. The motorcycle offers excellent fuel economy for its class, averaging around 45 mpg under mixed conditions, and service intervals are generous.

With BMW's extensive dealer network and comprehensive warranty coverage, owning the S1000XR / TE is as convenient as it is enjoyable.

Conclusion: A Masterclass in Sport Touring

The BMW S1000XR / TE is the embodiment of modern motorcycling excellence. It seamlessly combines the heart-pounding performance of a superbike with the comfort, sophistication, and practicality of a touring machine. Six times the name is enough to remind you: BMW S1000XR / TE is more than a motorcycle—it’s a complete riding experience.

For those who refuse to compromise, the BMW S1000XR / TE offers the best of all worlds. From spirited Sunday rides to cross-country adventures, this machine is built to dominate the road—and redefine the way you think about touring.

It's only February but my most anticipated fantasy HW car of the year (so far) is already here - behold the tiny majesty of the Kei Swap. I'm a huge fan of kei cars in general, which means I love it by default, and the superbly '90s Memphis-inspired livery is another point in its favour. Usually I avoid the art cars series because of their coloured wheels but the metallic teal on black three-spoke wheels look awesome.

Like a number of unlicensed cars over the years, it's not really a fantasy vehicle at all, but contrary to what I expected it isn't a modified Mighty K. From what I can see, Mighty K is actually a relatively stock 10th generation (2014 to present) Daihatsu Hijet S500P truck, whereas I think Kei Swap is a customised 8th generation Daihatsu Atrai (the Hijet van version) S120C panel van…except it has a Honda K-series engine (the thing that powers the Civic type R) crammed in the back; at a guess, for simplicity's sake it'd be the RWD S120 not the 4WD S130C, as I imagine it would be hard enough to fit a 2-litre DOHC+VTEC inline 4 into a chassis built to take a 660cc I3 without fitting a 4WD drivetrain in too.

Of course, it's all theoretical since there's no actual engine or drivetrain in a Hot Wheels. However, if you inspect the back window, while it's frosted, noting the chequered stripe and the Shoshinsha mark (a.k.a. Wakaba mark, the V-shaped design commonly seen in yellow and green in Japan resembling a young, unfolding leaf, which tells people the driver is inexperienced or nervous - also often found on drift vehicles as a joke given how they weave around the road) clearly there is something in there.

Once we disassemble the thing, we can find the load is a full set of those awesome wheels (modelled closely on the classic but now discontinued Advan SA3R), a BMX and a ghetto blaster inside, resting on a chequered floor. Also note the spilled drink cup on the passenger seat floor. I really love when castings have details like this, they truly give these toys life. The sunroof would give a good view of these things normally but being an Art Car, on this edition there's a letter on the top. Given it's scratched I'm tempted to try and remove the white of the letter entirely.

Sadly the 3-sides only printing rules left the van without front detail but I wasn't about to leave it like that. The angry lights resemble partly-obscured Honda Acty or Suzuki Carry lights of roughly the era, but the asymmetric grille slots are definitely a Daihatsu thing to my eye. The windscreen has a frosted shade-band element, which I can never resist giving some contrasting colour to.

It also has an intercooler and a tow-hitch above its ground-scraping splitter, and the widebody boasts Testarossa-like strakes along the sides. Kei van customs are a relative rarity in my experience of Japanese vehicles, but they are out there - most common in the crowded custom JDM van scene is the Hiace or NV350 for the less moneyed vanster, and the people-carriers with luxury features - the Vellfires/Alphards (if you gonna Alp...), StepWgns ("You're not my real Wgn!") and Autech ElGrands for the really fancy. Hoping HW steps up to some of these before too long, and keeps the kei goodness coming too. This is one casting I know I'll get more of as they emerge.

Sundar Pichai says Google One cloud storage service has nearly 100M subscribers

Google CEO Sudar Pichai said that the company’s Google One cloud storage service is ” just about to cross” 100 million subscribers.

Speaking during Alphabet’s Q4 2023 earning call, Pichai added that the company is looking to add more AI-powered features to the Google One service. The search giant first launched Google One in 2018. Since then the product has evolved and has extra perks including Google Photos editing features such as magic eraser, portrait light and portrait blur, color pop, and sky suggestion.

Google One Plans start from $1.99 per month, which gives you 100GB of storage shareable with five people and access to its VPN service in the U.S.

Pichai noted that Google’s overall subscription business — including YouTube Premium and Music, YouTube TV, and Google One — is on an upward trajectory and has crossed $15 billion in annual revenues. The company said that this is a 5x jump as compared to 2019. It also added that because of the strong subscription performance, the “Subscriptions, Platforms and Devices” vertical has registered a 23% growth year-on-year.

Google last mentioned that YouTube’s paid plans had 80 million in November 2022. But there hasn’t been another update since then. The company mentioned that YouTube Shorts are watched by 2 billion signed-in users every month and 7 billion daily plays — the same numbers as noted in Google’s Q3 2023 results.

Earlier this month, Google laid off nearly 1,000 employees in divisions including hardware, engineering, and services and 100 employees from YouTube. Later, Pichai sent an internal memo to the staff saying there will be more job cuts this year.

Notably, in its earnings release, Google mentioned that it had 182,502 employees, slightly more than the 182,381 employees it reported in the Q3 earnings release. However, the number is significantly lower than the 190,234 employees it had at the end of 2022.

Google’s $65.5 billion ad revenue fell short of analyst expectations of $65.8 billion despite a year-on-year increase of 11%. The company’s stocks dipped by 4% because of this miss.
