Fans Desperate For Half-Life 3 Are Tracking Gabe Newell's Superyacht In Hopes Of Manifesting A Summer Game Fest Miracle The Valve founder's $100 million boat is currently sailing down the California coast

Not an Onion story. Apparently Gabe has become the George R. R. Martin of gaming.

Building our "native-AI newsroom"... And my first human-AI HR misstep!

Technology wins again! Not only can AI replace human media professionals, it turns out AI is infinitely more sexually harrasable.

Buying a president - good investment or bad investment long term? Discuss.

The final death knell for the United States will be when Spirit Halloween goes bankrupt.

In the early 2000s, DC Comics had a storyline in which Lex Luthor was elected president of the US. At the time, I thought the idea was preposterous. In retrospect, Lex could’ve made the Legion of Doom his cabinet picks and it still couldn’t have predicted the ridiculousness of this moment.

Trump highlights partnership investing $500 billion in AI President Donald Trump is talking up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to artificial intelligence by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank.

Sure, let’s call it Stargate. Definitely not like SkyNet. Totally different.

But also completely predictable to anyone who’s read superhero comics. Batman can’t die, at least not definitively in main continuity. And certainly not the Batman who anchored an entire franchise.

Oof - at first I wondered how that error made it past final page approvals, but then I remembered the stupid things that slipped by in mags I worked on.

It’s because he thinks “asylum seekers” are literal escapees from mental asylums. He can’t parse the difference.

Not to mention that many public schools are so cash-strapped that teachers have to buy their own supplies. Which programs get cut to pay for security guards, metal detectors, etc?

It’s bad enough to lose your livelihood, but to also have the online digital record of your work erased at the same time, without warning, is personally and professionally devastating. My condolences to the staff.

My advice is to queue up the original Godzilla to watch afterwards as a double-feature.

In retrospect, all those “What’s wrong with this picture?” brainteasers we did as children now seem like training tools for spotting AI-generated images.

Serious answer: That’s what Deadpool & Wolverine is. Unlike Iron Man, Cap, Thor, etc, the other X-Men don’t usually star in their own books. They exist almost exclusively as X-Men.

If you haven’t already, you may want to hit up Mark Malkoff of The Carson Podcast. He’s done an insane amount of research on everything Carson and could probably point you in the right direction. markmalkoff.com

Good point. Hulk Hogan dresses as The Hulkster even when he’s not at a wrestling event.
