Never thought I’d say this but I genuinely might need to get my PS3 back from my little cousins so I can play Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 again. 😭

Was just made aware that you can play ‘Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance’ on the Switch 2 and that’s enough of a reason for me to shell out $500.

I'm officially out of a job--they eliminated mine, and I'm taking severance instead of a wildly different title they offered me that's not at all what I was hired to do. Solidarity forever 🌺, and while I take a breather someone come up with some good ideas of work I could do.

Vox Media Union statement on today's devastating round of layoffs at Eater. We stand with all of our wonderful colleagues. #solidarityforever #unionstrong #1u

Eater layoffs statement 

Today, 15 members of the Vox Media Union working at Eater were notified without warning that their jobs were being eliminated as part of a major restructuring of the 20-year-old brand. This was especially shocking considering that Vox Media CEO Jim Bankoff told Puck’s Dylan Byers just last week that he did not anticipate any impending layoffs at the company. But, of course, we’ve learned that we cannot trust Jim Bankoff’s word when it comes to layoffs. 

This is the second major round of layoffs at Eater this year, following a round earlier this year that decimated Eater’s award-winning cities network. To be abundantly clear: these layoffs are a gut-job, one that eliminates roughly a third of Eater’s union jobs. It is also a cowardly capitulation to the fallacious insistence that generative AI is the future of search and publishing. We are devastated that our colleagues have lost their jobs, and we are deeply worried about the future sustainability of Eater without them. Eater is currently in the midst of celebrating its 20th anniversary, and right now, there is not much to celebrate. 

We will have more information forthcoming about ways to support our laid-off colleagues in the coming days. 

Solidarity forever,

The Vox Media Union Committees

It’s been a long day of bargaining with Vox Media, fighting hard to get a fair contract with better salaries, AI protections, the inclusion of the Dodo in our union, and much more. Come tomorrow, there’s only two days left in our contract — Vox Media, stop dragging your feet.

The Vox Media Union’s current union contract expires at 11:59 pm ET on June 12. Time is running out, but Vox Media management has refused to even discuss our proposals in good faith. Send a letter urging Vox Media CEO Jim Bankoff to negotiate a fair contract NOW! wgaea.st/vox-letter

🚨 NEW Q AND COLB 🚨 🏀 We are SICK of all the terrible Cavs trades on the internet, especially the latest one involving Garland and Jalen Suggs. 🏀 That doesn't mean the Cavs shouldn't do anything. 🏈 Do you really care about OTAs that much? 📺: www.youtube.com/live/Q5Ik6z3...

Sports are hilarious because everything goes out the window when your favorite team is losing. Seen the same people saying fat shaming is bad (it is!) do this to Luka Doncic as soon as the clock hit 0 and their team lost.
