Fourteen Thousand.
The long campaign to dehumanize Palestinians is, fundamentally, about this. To provide cover for the annihilation of a people and their culture, from the youngest to the oldest, to shrugs from the most powerful nations in the world.
anyway here's the email I sent to jim bankoff last week. i'm still heartbroken. I have been insanely, destructively angry for weeks, and I think I will be for a long time.
Giant Bomb lives! Fandom has sold the site to us and it is now fully independent and employee-owned. We'll see you all on Tuesday for the Giant Bombcast.

polygon and giant bomb dead in the same week is just unfathomable
Woke up in a lovely bed and breakfast today on a lovely vacation to find out a place I've loved to work for just over a decade has been dismembered in minutes.
Just wanted to join the chorus to say that I've been let go from Vox Media on May Day, along with a great team doing great stuff.
I am among the MANY folks who got laid off today. Don't have anything good or thoughtful to say on it atm. gutted, sad, feel completely fucked. Fuck vox media management forever. they did this shit on may day. vox media union forever.
After today, I am not employed! Not sure what the hell I'm going to do next but follow me on twitch and instagram (pizza_suplex_vevo) and stuff.

By now you've probably heard the news: Polygon has been sold to Valnet and I, along with most of my wonderful colleagues, have been laid off.
That said, I'm now open to new opportunities! If you've enjoyed my work and would like to work together in any capacity, please feel to hit me up via my DMs!
Julia will never say this so I’ll say it for her: when I worked for Polygon, she was responsible for not just the biggest Polygon article, but the NUMBER 1 MOST CLICKED ARTICLE ON ALL OF VOX MEDIA. She was single-handedly paying all of our salaries. Hire Julia.
Anyway, I need to go around saving some of my clips and also I would like an ego boost because I frankly feel shitty SO if you have a favorite story of mine, please thread it here so the process of going through and picking some to download isn't so overwhelming/lonely ahaha
I'm getting more sad about getting laid off. My work means so much to me. I'm a really good reporter. I've been getting scoops every single week lately, while also doing in-depth, award-winning reporting. I have good ideas!

Just woke up to this news, need to be a little more awake to fully process it, but the people I worked with at Polygon are some of the most kind, insightful, and passionate people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Support them wherever they end up. Also, fuck whoever made this decision.

“brian that’s just a francophile” no, that’s a different thing, i need cringe compilations but for americans saying “putain” instead of “baka”
praying that clair obscur is successful for all the wrong reasons: i need a new type of weeb but for france
Ugh I’m getting so many of these
yeah Karen and I have already discussed this
Scotland managed to get “Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead” to number 1 following Thatcher’s death. I’m just saying we should agree on a song now so that we’re prepared
that’s a @karenhan.bsky.social special. all of the good clothes i wear are hers
haha whoops, i used humor as a defense mechanism in order to make a song about how i use humor as a defense mechanism youtu.be/Sj4BuUWcZ6Y?...
Mamma Mia! (2008)
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018)
Execs, you should be devoting 80-90% of your time right now on Mamma Mia! How Can I Resist You? pitch meetings in order to hit that highly marketable 2028 release. As it happens, I’ve got a four-quadrant, necromancy-focused pitch ready whenev
i like video games
some more bangers from the same shop
constantly thinking about this ominous sticky note drawing i saw in a boba shop
ugh I hope nobody leaks one of these to a reporter! especially not one with Signal, such as meganfarokhmanesh.76, at a publication with great policies for protecting sources, like WIRED
