So, still weird and surreal to hear my name be said by the announcer in #WWE2K26. I'm no longer "Mat El-Ron."

Wrestle Buddies still lives again in WWE games.

Yes, you can also pick "Hayner" as a last name as well.

This is the exact reason! Highly recommend the book DisneyWar to freaks who care about inside baseball Hollywood history. There’s a section about the intense drama behind getting Disney to put out one video tape.

Today, as it turns out, was my last day at Polygon. I'm sure I'll have more to rattle on about later but I'm available.

Oh my God, dude, that sounds like such a foundational experience for both of you. I ABSOLUTELY love it. Got this open in a tab to read later today, now looking forward to the tale. :)

I just want to retire on that photo/autograph combo package.

And so, I will continue to advocate for my creative friends to name things after me.

I just want to be famous enough to make a decent living on the con circuit, but not famous enough that anyone outside of a con knows who I am.

It was that for me until I found myself smashing my head against the wall trying to progress. I...never made it to the final room.

They'll get those P+ subscriptions up, regardless of how many people have to be fired to make it happen.

The Scary Movie trailer is one of the least funny things I've seen in quite a while. Which is saying something, given the state of the world.

A whole bunch of war crimes happened overnight. I wonder if literally anyone will be held accountable?

Dozens of U.S. strikes on Iran. Dunno what to say now other than my thoughts are with the Iranian civilians under fire. What a nightmare.

There you go. An overt technofascist Trump ally will now own CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Discovery, and a big chunk of TikTok

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Off the top of my head:

404media.co

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.
