Can someone please convince RFK Jr that with enough practice you can hover mid-air like Wile E. Coyote after you run off cliffside?

I feel like it couldn't be that difficult.

If you have a podcast, be vigilant about your ad service.

"Don't thank me for my service when you voted against me" is such a great response to this bullshit

I cried this morning because so many of my wonderful colleagues were laid off today, even after the success of IGN Live and Comic-Con.

After today's layoffs, I am now the only social team member left in LA.
How am I supposed to do my job?

If your company is healthy enough for frequent multimillion company buying sprees, it is healthy enough to pay for eight union members. Ffs. Be a human.

My heart aches for my former IGN colleagues. Even while I was still there, we were already desperately understaffed.

Why must employees always pay for management’s costly mistakes? When will it sink in that human beings are required for the integrity and success of this work?

I loved IGN as a kid, and as an adult it continues to be an absolute honor working alongside them as union colleagues ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

In the wake of layoffs where my friends and now former coworkers were affected I just saw a comment where someone called the IGN staff shills and I swear to god I could break someone's legs right now.

On top of everything else today my eyes have felt like they are both on fire and full of sand because of the smoke from Canadian fires moving into town. I feel bad on many fronts!

If you are a video person who was laid off today and knows how to shoot on location, please email me. I don't have a lot of work, but we will need videographers from time to time and I want to know you.

My heart goes out to the incredible team at IGN. You deserve better. If anyone on either side of these layoffs needs to talk with someone who has both survived layoffs and been impacted by a layoff, please don't hesitate to reach out. No matter which side of that coin you fall on, it's a tough day.

Between fury and heartbreak, I can't tell which I feel more of regarding today's news.

We're all made less as the powers that be stomp out more and more voices.

I'm heartsick at IGN's layoffs and enraged for Minnmax and Haley. It's all so senseless and heartless.

Matt is a wonderful soul and super knowledgeable about anything and everything relating to and around this industry. I’m gonna miss lots and hate this.

Rob is hands down the most passionate person about indie games that I’ve ever met, and I’ve always loved his insights into that world. He’s also just a powerhouse when it comes to event planning and coverage.

IGN hit by layoffs as parent company Ziff Davis cuts costs The cuts follow last week’s layoffs at Ziff Davis-owned CNET.

Layoffs at Ziff Davis-owned IGN today just days after the ones at other ZD-owned publications like CNET. So sad to see

I don't really know what else to say at this point besides I am very tired and I am going to miss the folk who were laid off today a lot.

My thoughts with those affected. Sadly unsurprising at this stage.
