The workers of popular graphic novel publisher Dark Horse Comics, which is behind numerous popular Star Wars, Cyberpunk, and Avatar: The Last Airbender comics among others, are petitioning to form a union with the Communications Workers of America (CWA), as announced by the group today. In a press release, the group (known as Dark Horse Workers United) said that 59 eligible employees had signed onto a letter sent to interim CEO Jay Komas, requesting that he voluntarily recognize the union by June 1st [Note: elsewhere on their website it says the deadline is June 3rd, we’ve reached out for clarification],…
You don’t need to be an outdoor aficionado who goes mountain biking every Sunday in order to rock a Garmin smartwatch. While the brand is famous for its rugged, outdoor monsters, it also offers sleek-looking wearables tailored for those of us who like to chill with Netflix and a bowl of popcorn.Of course, since it’s Garmin we’re talking about here, even those smartwatches with a slimmer build cost an arm and a leg to get. For instance, the Venu 4, the company’s top-tier lifestyle smartwatch, will set you back around $550, which is quite the hefty price. Garmin Venu 4:…
The Illinois House of Representatives passed a bill on Wednesday requiring frontier AI labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind to have their safety practices audited by a third-party. If signed into law, AI safety experts tell WIRED it would be the nation’s leading check on the power of major AI companies.The bill, SB 315, now heads to governor JB Pritzker’s desk. In a post on social media Wednesday, Pritzker said he plans to sign the bill, citing a need to hold Big Tech accountable.Since Congress has yet to pass any meaningful AI safety legislation, state lawmakers have happily stepped…
Hoyoverse, the makers of popular gacha games including Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero, has previously been accused of copying games from other developers. Now, in a video posted on Bluesky, game designer Michal Kamm claims that a minigame featured in Zenless Zone Zero bears more than a little resemblance to his game Ouros. Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn’t well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears…

The Pokémon Company updated its annual figures and, to nobody’s shock, the franchise continues to dominate the world. It’s now printed over 85 billion Pokémon cards since the TCG launched in 1996. Over 10 percent of those were produced in the last year alone. And yet it’s still not enough. The Pokémon Company had distributed 75 billion cards as of May 2025, meaning it produced another 10 billion over the last 12 months (thanks Gamesradar). These cards came from sets like the incredibly popular Scarlet & Violet–Prismatic Evolutions expansion, divided up across tons of different boxed products. Wizards of the…
The CRD alleged that “Black workers were relegated to labor-intensive jobs, segregated, and paid less than non-Black workers,” and “faced retaliation in the form of overly harsh performance reviews, reprimands, and termination” when they complained. The agency accused Tesla of failing to stop the racial harassment and discrimination despite knowing about the problem. Tesla evidence not enough to prevent trial Superior Court Judge Peter Borkon said in yesterday’s ruling that at this stage of the proceeding, “the court views the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiff and resolves any evidentiary doubts or ambiguities in their favor.” Tesla,…
Are you still looking for the perfect budget-friendly Android handset to kick off your summer in style without breaking the bank and feel like the Galaxy A37 5G might not be elegant or powerful enough to keep you satisfied in the long run?Then why not go for the slightly higher-end and equally new Galaxy A57 5G? This 6.7-inch device is obviously also costlier than the other “enriched” Samsung mid-ranger unveiled a couple of months ago, but for a presumably limited time only, you can save a cool 60 bucks on an “Awesome Gray” model with your choice of 128 or…
I’m sure Nintendo never expected this to be the case, but Wii Sports bowling has become kind of ubiquitous in retirement homes. It definitely makes sense—the game is accessible, it has intuitive controls, and it replicates the real-life bowling experience in a way that’s pretty faithful. The 2006 console is also pretty cheap to buy. What I didn’t expect, however, was that it’s so widespread that there are apparently entire Wii Sports bowling leagues formed among groups of competing retirement communities. Earlier this week, the University Village Retirement Community in Tulsa, Oklahoma, shared what’s possibly my new favorite Instagram reel…
