There is a corner of the internet I had never heard of before I started reporting this story. It’s called the “burnerverse”: a network of anon burner accounts ostensibly discussing college sports. But they have another goal: destroying young girls’ lives.🧵: www.wired.com/story/burner...

A College Girl Was Exploited on Camera. A Network of Anonymous Men Got to Work

Maddie Kowalski is one of countless young women who’ve had their lives destroyed by the burnerverse, a loosely connected online community of sports fans. Now she’s fighting back.

by far the most concerning thing about my job is when one of the higher ups call me to check if i've received pay. i just... feel like someone should be able to track that without me going "uh... sort of"

That's right... A Pokemon Credit Union.

I wish there was a bit more skepticism in games media about Blizzcon returning for the first time since the msoft acquisition during this well documented, desperate era of that company re-orienting itself around major "IP" while slashing their dev teams.

Hell yeah brother

I see the NYT is still platforming 'dei crushed white men' bullsh*t. Here it's buried in a 'why rural themed pop culture' is so popular in a piece written by a Princeton grad who lives in New York City. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/o...

What is a good apology present lmao?

Motorstorm feels magical and *gleeful* in ways few racing games achieve or even attempt. Just a chorus of mud and sound and crunching metal. Still looks gorgeous today, too!

need help with housing search in toronto or if anyone knows someone as my current place is not safe at all with the landlord's representative threatening me in many ways to leave the place...

You should read this. I've known the history of "zombies" for a while now. I've shared it. I'm not consistent. I pick my battles. And I've always felt this intense shame when I go along with a convo. It is this near total appropriation of Haitian culture. Leaving almost nothing behind.

‘An embodiment of white fears’: how zombies went from Haitian spiritual tradition to Hollywood monsters

Maya Annik Bedward’s fascinating new documentary goes beyond reductive imagery to place the zombie and vodou in their true historical context

Future me watching temporary -productivity-burst me commit to meetings and calls.

update: i'm parting ways with my freelance news gig at game developer at the end of the month. helping the team since april 2025 has been a great experience and has taught me a lot if you're looking for an experienced b2b news writer, or just an experienced freelancer that can do it all, i'm around

Lol my buddy just sent me another angle and it's somehow even more ridiculous

It's not so much that the AI corps are "bad at PR" as that the target audience for their PR is so ideologically abnormal and has preferences so far outside the realm of what normal people want/care about that they might as well be space aliens

I don’t wanna post too much about it but ty everyone who has shared my PayPal link. Having a cancer scare is not easy and I really appreciate the support from online homos and others for making this feel more manageable.

Hey so I have been having some health issues this week that I have just been informed Im gonna need at least two surgeries for. This is going to pretty severely impact my ability to do my gig work for the next 6 weeks at minimum so if you can spare anything I could really use the help.

Can’t wait to play #metroid Girl Dinner

I think someone should let me review Stranger Than Heaven. I would do it for Stop Caring but I don't wanna give RGG my hard-earned money or do it for free. It won't be a normal review but it'll be an interesting review

ARAM mayhem in League should just be called HARAM mode imo. fucking evil

Counterpoint.

I doubt there’s much criticism of Marvel’s Wolverine you couldn’t also levy against 007: First Light, a bad game.

Spoke with some of 600+ people who were punished for Charlie Kirk-related speech over the past year — about the anxieties they’ve faced, the crazy reasons they were fired or even arrested, and what their life has been like since:

A Year Ago, Charlie Kirk Was Killed. Meet the People Who Were Fired for Speaking Out About Him

In the year since the murder of the far-right commentator, those who were punished for comments about his death have met mixed fortunes. Over in Dallas, the GOP’s mad midterm Trumpapalooza began.
