Until it is accompanied by an actual plan, concrete action, transparency, and a process that meaningfully incorporates public input we see no reason to treat the University’s statements as evidence that any of the underlying problems have been or will be resolved. save-the-academy.org/statement.html
Save the Academy Coalition statement, October 1, 2026
We refuse closure. Secure a year of bridge funding, appoint an independent commission, and give the public a real role in the Academy’s future.

If you're a woman who plays EA Sports CFB or Madden, I wanna talk to you! And if you're a woman who loves football and don't play those games, I also wanna hear from you!

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse:

By embracing fighting game culture, the Deadpool of Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is a much more likeable presence than his cross-media counterparts.

I am super enjoying Witcher 3 complete edition as a new player. It is, however, providing clarity on what i hate from my other favorite fanchises; they were doing Witcher shit.

5 potatoes cubed is still 5 potatoes because potatoes are root vegetables
I was making potato and leek soup and the recipe asked for five potatoes cubed.
Even for potato soup, 125 potatoes seems a little excessive.

Maria Bamford has been one of my favorite comedians for probably 20 years now. There is no one like her, and there will never be another like her. So creative and vulnerable all while being so silly and relatable.
