If you don't want to read my BLACK PHONE 2 on @ign.com, no worries, I'll read it to you in the video review. There's also a bonus post-review chat between me and @clintgage.bsky.social, too! As a treat.

Ziff Davis just reported their "strongest quarterly revenue growth since 2021," up 9.8% to $352.2M, with gaming and entertainment up 7.5% YOY. So why were 8 of our members and 23 members of @zdcreatorsguild.bsky.social just laid off? bit.ly/3H0Osvb

Picking up my old electric, brushing up on the basics, shredding soon, fulfillment to follow

Last episode of season 3 and I promise we don’t argue about what is and is not a Christmas movie. We do however bid a fond farewell to @asted.bsky.social who even Dan’s horrible algorithm will miss having on the show. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

These are always fun to make, even if we have to work on them sporadically for like 3 years but happily @scottcollura.bsky.social doesn’t mind that too much.

I finally came over here because @thatwitchmia.bsky.social told me that @truthmagnum.bsky.social was here too but then all they gave me was cat pictures to like as a way to get to know me so that’s who I am now and here’s one of my cats I guess
