I highly recommend Widows Bay!
With Guillermo del Toro’s recommendation, I started watching Apple TV β€˜s β€œWidow’s Bay.” It’s so incredibly good that I couldn’t stop, so I binged through Episode 9 in one go. This horror-comedy, executive produced by Hiro Murai, is set in a cursed island town 40 miles off the coast of New England. Dense fog, violent storms, and all kinds of supernatural phenomena descend upon the town. It’s packed with horror elements, one after another. Fans of Stephen King and horror in general will love it. The pacing is excellent, and the balance between horror and humor is just right. Ironically, the mayor’s tireless efforts to attract tourists reminded me of Mayor Vaughn from β€œJaws.” The townspeople are wonderfully eccentric as well, with personalities straight out of β€œTwin Peaks.” It’s been a long time since a series pulled me in this completely. I can’t wait for next Wednesday’s final episode.

Fantastic write up for indie game devs interested in hiring creators!
This amount of money could be massive for small indie devs, so here are some tips on how to see if this price is really worth it or not ✨a thread✨so you don't just assume creators are predatory

Things the recovery industry will not tell you: 1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure. A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there. The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists. 2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal. 3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops. 4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there. 5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page. 6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak. 7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes) 8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you. 9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in. 10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.

I mentioned this awhile back, but there's NEVER enough creators to meet the demand for dedicated YouTube videos for new game launches. Obviously it's difficult to maintain viewership across different titles & genres, but it's a very lucrative and high demand skill as a YouTuber. Rates for dedicated videos can be anywhere from 4-6x the rates for 60-90 second ad integrations πŸ‘€ So not only would you see a huge increase in deal flow, the rates per video are incredibly attractive. We're always on the hunt for new creators that fit this mold. Drop me an email/DM if you have any recs!

Having an audience is not enough. Lots of people have an audience. How are YOU standing out? What are YOU doing that’s different? I’m likely gonna start 1:1 office hours for creators this summer for coaching just bc I want creators to succeed.
At Press Publish LA, @Adobe’s Leah Walker broke down how creators can land brand deals in 2026’s shifting landscape.

I hope the dev gets a modelling contract and this gets written down in game dev history.

Mourning the upcoming loss of your personal third space is tough. It IS traumatic. I’ve shared my thoughts on the transition from D1 to D2 and how that impact felt. Time takes time yall. You’ll frankly never β€œreplace” the vibe you felt. You’ll just fill that space with something different

BREAKING: @AOC just got an EPA administrator to commit to investigate water quality around data center builds. Last week, AOC joined More Perfect Union on a trip to Morgan County, Georgia, where she met with residents living near a site that will host a massive Meta data center. Residents haven't had clean well water since the construction project began.
