But uhh.... Why?

I'm still really early on, but Alpha Houndoom was the first thing I encountered that KO'd my trainer 😵

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

A Gen AI therapist is not a therapist. It's a glorified autocorrect machine programmed by the world's most self-centered, entitled, and rich engineers designed to tell you what you want to hear. For the love of God people, you'd get better therapy from spending an hour outside with a friend or two.

I'm forever fascinated with #Babymetal and how they've become a nexus for cross-cultural, multi-lingual, cross-genre cross overs and collaborations. I think it represents one of the most beautiful things about Metal and how open minded and welcoming this community is. #MetalForth

Britta community meme saying "I can excuse the racism but I draw the line at depicting hell"

Putting on my 'disappointed but not surprised' hat for reviewers giving the game a pass.

Czech Games Edition asks for "empathy" amid Harry Patter board game backlash The board game publisher has received swathes of criticism online since announcing its new Codenames spin-off, Back to Hogwarts.

The Codenames story is also on @wargamer.com

It's spread so wide. And so many people are being very stalwart and supportive. I hope Czech Games can see that this isn't anger, it's disappointment. And they can still fix it. They can still do the right thing.

An in-game render of Ozzy Osbourne, with the logo for Brutal Legend and text that reads, "Free for the next 666 minutes" and the itch.io logo in the bottom right corner

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend

But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night...

Los Angeles residents were outraged after dozens of federal agents marched through MacArthur Park, in one of the city’s most immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Homeland Security officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation, though it was unclear if anyone had been arrested. trib.al/JYW5IsU

The existential-level depression I feel around this time of year feels debilitating.

I saw a wonderfully gruesome horror movie called BRING HER BACK this afternoon. Thoughtful, textured, and scary as hell.

🇲🇽ARE FLYING THE 🇲🇽 FLAG AT THE CONSTRUCTION SITES ALL ACROSS THE USA 🇺🇸

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

With the Switch 2 launching soon, I was reminded of this cool series of Japanese ads that counted down to the PS2's release back in 2000. Watching all these little vignettes of people just quietly anticipating the PS2 are really effective at making the release feel momentous.

A three day weekend is too short under normal circumstances, but with how atrocious traffic has become in the Bay Area, it's starting to feel like it's becoming less and less worth it trying to get out of town for a couple days.

Our NEW mission statement (we're growing). The image also features the IGNCG logo with rainbow coloration on dark blue textured background. Logo created by Julia Rago.

The IGNCG Mission statement exceeds the character limit of bsky's alt text. The first several paragraphs read: “IGN has a lot going on” might be the understatement of the century. At any given time, there are countless irons in countless fires as our teams continue to deliver multi-award winning original coverage of games, film and television, technology and more in both written and video spaces. This fact, as well as the awards, the prestige, and the hundreds of millions of monthly visitors, none of it exists without IGN’s incomparable staff. Together, we have navigated a pandemic, multiple entertainment strikes, massive live events seasons, surprising trailer leaks, and whatever other curveballs the multiple industries that we cover have thrown at us. Through it all we have delivered best-in-class articles, videos, guides, live-events, and more, banding together to ensure IGN remains a top player across industries. Now the IGN creative teams are banding together once more, this time to form the IGN Creators Guild. We are unionizing with the News Guild alongside our colleagues at the Ziff Davis Creators Guild, as well as other leaders in the online media space like the L.A. Times, The New Yorker, Vice, and Time. Of our many goals, we first and foremost want to see IGN grow and thrive as digital media continues to become more and more tumultuous. We have been an institution for over 25 years, and the creators of IGN want to see it continue for 25 more and beyond. But to do so, we need support. We need fair and competitive pay for all, including those who are asked to live and work in some of the most expensive cities in the United States; affordable health insurance; and better diversity, equity, and inclusion across the board. We need protection against layoffs amid a hectic media landscape, guarantees of reasonable compensation when those layoffs cannot be avoided, as well as protections against generative AI and similar technologies.

Our little union is getting a bit bigger!

Today, we proposed the addition of our product, engineering, and Humble Bundle folks into our unit.

Join us in welcoming our peers and asking IGN Entertainment Inc. management to voluntarily recognize their addition into our union!

Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

Donald Trump in a nutshell: doing everything he can to make the ultra-rich even richer.

We need to find out if Trump's tariff chaos was used as cover for insider trading.
