Happy Friday the 13th! Not so friendly reminder that if you’re mean to a black cat today (or any day) a wild Rachel will come out of the shadows and kick your ass 😘🫶🏻
He got it from his mama.
Bear 89, aka Backpack, is the 2026 Fat Bear Week champ. Turns out hefty runs in the family.
His mom, Holly the Duchess of Density, won in 2019. She carried him on her back as a cub and helped him survive a serious leg injury. Now her little Backpack has a crown of his own. 👑
Aha! Great fun facts. A wee correction - I actually learned all of my own Spanish dialogue, like learning the language of the film, so no one had to phonetically feed me lines while filming.
How do we explain to younger generations that short sleeve tshirt over a long sleeve used to be so popular they used to make fakes which were just long sleeve tees with different sleeves stitched in to look like it's layered
How we got here:
2007: Bungie leaves. Microsoft builds 343 to “protect Halo.”
2012: Halo 4. New art, sprint, loadouts. Half the fanbase never comes back.
2014: MCC launches broken. Matchmaking is a meme for a year.
2015: Halo 5. Hunt the Truth marketing. Locke campaign. Chief sidelined. Story dumped later.
2020: Infinite demo looks like a tech demo. Delayed a year.
2021: Infinite ships without co-op or Forge. Live service stall. Store backlash. Players leave.
2022–23: Bonnie Ross out. Veterans gone. Layoffs gut campaign/audio. Studio runs on fumes + outsourcing.
2024: Rebrand to Halo Studios. Dump Slipspace. Switch to Unreal. Quiet admission the old way failed.
July 2026: Campaign Evolved. A Remake. Not a new Halo. Not a reset.
Today: Activision gets the next game. Halo Studios becomes a support team.
Xbox - "Continuing Our Reset" - 'First, we are eliminating 268 roles across Halo Studios, other first-party studios, and the XGS management and central functions layer.'
Activision will expand its remit to World’s Edge, as well as Rare. Activision will also be developing the next Halo title, led by a new, purpose-built team that is separate from ongoing development and plans for Call of Duty. A small team at Halo Studios will continue supporting the Halo community and games in-market.
Bethesda will expand its remit to include Obsidian, which will continue its current projects, including Grounded, as well as the new Fallout project made in collaboration with Bethesda Game Studios.
King will expand its remit to include Microsoft Casual Games, uniting our two global leaders in casual game design and live operations.
Playground and Turn 10 will come together as one studio focused on the Forza and Fable franchises. These two studios have been creative and franchise partners for over a decade, and today’s changes will formally move their work into one team.

Seen some posts like, “When you insult Trump, you also insult those of us who support him” or whatever. Like, yeah. Good. Fuck you. Fuck him AND fuck you. Fuck all fascists. Mom loves Trump? Tupac said it: “Fuck you and your motherfucking mama.” Glad we had this talk. Be blessed.
