Beulah Mae Donald is the black woman who bankrupted the Ku Klux Klan by winning a $7 million civil judgment for the 1981 lynching of her son, Michael Donald. This landmark case was the first time the KKK was held financially accountable for its actions.
Update: IGN's union has responded to the latest round of surprise layoffs:
"Today was an awful day at IGN. We were blindsided by the layoff of four union members and many more people across the organization who contributed years of their careers to making IGN an unparalleled voice in games and entertainment.
With each successive layoff, core parts of IGN's operation continue to be stripped away. Today, IGN has decided to do away with many of our talented producers, editors, hosts, and other crucial roles, both within and out of the union. How many layoffs will occur before we no longer recognize the company we work for and the content that we make?
While we recognize the challenges the media industry is facing as a whole, it is difficult to understand how laying off valuable employees better positions us to meet those challenges. In turn, remaining employees bear additional workloads worsened by anxiety over the ever-looming threat of another layoff.
We are devastated, angry, and heartbroken for our colleagues."

https://t.co/enD7Oq5MxE PLZ WATCH AND READ...VERY URGENT! The Act for ALS has unanimous support, but Congress may push it off until the end of the year or more. Plz sign this petition and tell them it’s not ok. The ALS community can’t afford to wait and needs your help urgently!
Rebel is asking fans to sign a petition this weekend.
Hours after Wednesday's Dynamite: Rebel Heart, Rebel posted a video saying she got home to an urgent message from I AM ALS. The ACT for ALS, the federal law funding ALS research and expanded access to investigational treatments, expires September 30. The House and Senate each passed reauthorization bills this summer, but the versions differ, the House has canceled its last two weeks of September, and I AM ALS says the bill has been delayed and folded into a year-end healthcare package. The group is collecting signatures to deliver Monday.
"A lot of patients do not have time to spare. Some won't even make it to the end of the year."
In her caption, Rebel wrote that renewing the bill "will secure another $500 million for ALS research and treatment access," and that despite unanimous support, "Congress might keep pushing it off until the end of the year or longer."

REPORT: PlayStation is claimed to be considering delaying their digital-only future because XBOX is willing to go physical next generation🚀
✅Microsoft is allegedly telling publishers its next console, Project Helix will be entirely physical and will allow users to convert physical games into digital copies.
✅Sony reportedly realized that forcing a digital-only approach leaves a massive opening for competitors to capitalize on consumer demand for physical games.
✅A major unnamed game publisher (confirmed not to be Rockstar) reportedly threatened to skip PlayStation and release their massive upcoming title only on XBOX and Nintendo if Sony couldn't guarantee a physical release.

Keep up the pressure! We can win this!💪🏼
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
REPORT: Sony’s plan to end physical game media has reportedly generated enough tension, according to @NWeedle after his Gamescom experience🚀
✅Backlash had impact on their marketing strategies and forcing them to change how they communicate
✅3rd-party developers are preferring not to be associated with Sony at the moment
This is quite likely due to every PlayStation marketing material is being full of comment calling for “NO DISC 💿 NO BUY”
Keep up the pressure and don’t give up. Speak out against ending physical media, vote with your voices and wallets and join the PlayStation Blackout
We don’t hate gaming, we love gaming very much that we refuse to let corporate greed to further ruin it for us.
A digital-only future is NOT evolution, it’s going backwards because it means:
❌No ownership
❌No competition/options for prices
❌No 2nd hand marketing and trading
❌Always being tied to an account
❌Losing games if an account is lost
❌Region-locking
❌64% of the world who have no dedicated PlayStation Store will lose access to games
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
In case you didn't know:
There's a COMPLETELY NEW SCOTT PILGRIM GAME
It came out a few months ago
Today DLC is available with:
Arcade mode (play level after level)
3 new playable chars with unique movesets (knives/kim/stephen)
The PlayStation Blackout is now planned to continue indefinitely, and some users are asking to delay it because is the COD beta..
The protest was originally planned as a one-week but organizers have changed the plan; there is now no fixed end date.
They say the blackout will continue “until Sony realizes their mistake.”
Players are asked to log off, stop playing, avoid buying games and cancel subscriptions for as long as they can.
I built a petition — to show Riot what this community can offer: designers, artists, marketing, finance, content creators, all ready to help keep this game alive.
And more importantly, what's in it for Riot.
Please share. Details below.

SONY is sending out emails updating and reminding people of their PlayStation terms. short version what it says:
- You don't own your digital games, you rent a license
- If a account closed or banned your games are gone, even paid ones
- PlayStation can record your chats, clips, ip address
- Clips you share, they can sell and put ads on and you get no cut
- their liability is capped at £100! This means if Sony screws something up and it costs you money, the most they'll pay you back is £100, no matter how much you actually lost
A high school principal lost his job after breaking school rules to help a homeless student, providing him with food and a safe place to sleep. Years later, he watched that same student walk across the graduation stage—this time as his son.
The deeply moving story centers on Robert Burnside, former principal of Lakota East High School in Ohio, and Landerius “DeDe” Hayes. In 2024, 16-year-old Hayes became homeless through circumstances beyond his control. When his mother’s new address placed him outside the school district’s boundaries, officials ordered him to withdraw. Burnside refused to let the teenager be abandoned, challenging the decision and allowing Hayes to remain in school. The district ultimately viewed his actions as insubordination.
As the situation escalated into an investigation, Burnside chose to stand by Hayes, eventually resigning from a decades-long career in education. He and his wife, Angel, then took another extraordinary step, becoming Hayes’ permanent legal guardians and welcoming him into their home alongside their six other children. In May 2026, Burnside watched Hayes graduate at the Cintas Center—not as his principal, but proudly as his father.
