Pixar receives a $26.2 Million Tax credit to keep film jobs in CA, and immediately lays off 10% of its work force, after making over a billion from Toy Story 5, the highest-grossing film of 2026.

Pixar's Layoffs Came Days After Receiving a $26 Million Tax Credit. So I Wrote California Officials.

THE NEW YORK KNICKERBOCKERS

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

Excited to have State of Decay 3 in the XBOX Showcase today! The team is kicking ass and it shows in this trailer. Cannot wait for everyone to play! www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoLO...

I pity the man who tells Senua to smile more.

Squatty Squatty time. Front squat sets of 3 up to 215#, felt good. Finished with 2 sets to failure each of Front Squat Holds, Leg Extensions, Leg Curls, and Reverse Hypers. Training time 50min.

I, for one, am absolutely here for Deborah Ann Woll kicking mythological asses.

Sunday is International Bench Day, right? Sets of 3 to 205# (205 needed a 2/1 split, whoopsie). Felt good! Finished with 2 sets to failure each of Ab Fallouts, Seated Rows, Reverse Hypers, Bicep Curls, Tri Ext, Standing Leg Curls. Training time 45 min, done in time to take Sammie to the dog park.

I picked things up and put them down! Log C&P up to 180#, felt meh. Front Squats up to 205#, felt eh. Finished with sets to failure of Front Hold, Lat Pulldowns, and Reverse Hypers. Also brought the ole lifting belt in one notch. Felt good!

Tonight was Front Squat singles up to 225#, Front Squat Holds, & Reverse Hypers w/my “we don’t have space for a real RH so let’s make one out of a plyo box, cable machine, & spud belt.” Worked great! Training time 45min. Weight at session start: 243#. Down 7lbs since I started lifting again. Wheeee
