RIP Eric Bauza, one of the greatest of all time. Did almost every single one of those voices in Coyote vs Acme. Someone who clearly loved these characters so much that he wasn't just doing Mel Blanc, he made them his own.

Every time I see this I think of that quote about revenge for Soleimani being impossible because American Heroes are all fictional like Spider-man and SpongeBob. Meanwhile WWE has decided to set up a Fictional Heroes parade right next door. I just hope nobody gets hurt or worse for this nonsense.

As of now, the plan is still for WWE Crown Jewel to take place in Saudi Arabia. FightfulSelect.com has heard from a number of staff and talent who aren't happy about it at this point. We're told naturally, that WWE is in constant communication with their hosts regarding the matter.

This is going to go down as one of the biggest own-goals in Canadian political history. We live in the stupidest timeline.

Epic has recently taken an aloof, defiant attitude toward AI critics, provoking reactions by calling its new launcher "vibe coded," and now with a many-fingered invitation to a game jam that mandates AI use.

If anyone in Canada has been affected by the EA/Bioware announcement and would like to talk about it, email's in my profile. Can discuss on the record/on background etc.

Oh hey, that thing everyone warned would happen if the EA buyout got approved happened. Who could have guessed. Fuck this and fuck the corrupt assholes who let it happen.

One year ago today I married the love of my life. Any day now we're expecting our first child. Gotta say, it's pretty great! Highly recommend!

I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money. Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.

At long last, we have created Curtains for Zoosha? K-smog and Batboy caught flipping a grunt from the classic tweet "Don't Create Curtains for Zoosha? K-smog and Batboy caught flipping a grunt."

While this is far from the best outcome for Quebec politics, it's absolutely the funniest one. For the non-quebecois out there, the CAQ has been in power here for the past 8 years and they just failed to win a single seat.

Making a squad of unwanted junkyard battlemechs. First up: this pilot ordered a mech with "sonic weapons" but the manufacturer misunderstood the request. Gotta go fast! #minipainting

Part of me wonders if the reason Fable has been delayed so many times lately is that the devs realized they'd be laid off as soon as they shipped and decided to just never ship their game.

Since WWE's trying to exploit PAC's death, it's time to talk about this: Remember how PAC suddenly had visa issues when AEW started? That's because, when the AEW trademarks were filed, WWE called USCIS to claim he walked out on his visa. After leaving him alone for a year and giving him his release.

This is really tragic and so unexpected. He was so insanely talented and we literally just watched him put on a killer match with Andrade last night. What a huge loss for his family and the whole wrestling world.

So much chemistry in the ring for that trios match. New Level vs Brodido is just pure fun and meanwhile Swerve and Hangman are just smoldering at each other. MOTN so far! #AEW

Brody and Bandido together are just a delight. They clearly love working together so much and constantly put together the most absurd spots you've ever seen. #AEW
