I want to support journalism, so I usually turn off my ad blocker on sites I read. But look at this — 320 ads on a single ScreenRant page. That’s not support, that’s punishment. Bring back non-intrusive ads so readers can actually enjoy the article.

The fact that the title has for nintendo Switch on it while it's already on a nintendo switch case is baffling.

Bad Bunny’s SNL line about “4 months to learn Spanish” sparked a lot of reactions—but the viral clip of Mark Wahlberg telling him to “go back to Puerto Rico” is fake. No interview, no source, no receipts. Don’t fall for cheapfakes. #PuertoRico

Essays and video games!

I’ve got 445 followers, which is awesome—but it’d be even better if they weren’t just followers. More like engagers. #SocialMedia #Community #Engagement

Just finished paying off a loan — $346 a month, finally gone! 🙌 Word to the wise: credit card debt is no joke. My wife and I have definitely learned that lesson, and it feels so good to have this weight lifted. Just excited and wanted to share this little win.

#Spoiler You catch pocket monsters.. have them fight, catch more, level up, pass the game story. Keep playing afterwards.

Artists deserve recognition and protection. Generative AI needs stronger oversight to support creativity, not exploit it. I’m doing my part by not using AI for art.

Love this!

As a teacher who hears this all the time... I approve of this meme.

I saw a YouTube short that claimed the baby is the ultimate boss battle in Pikmin. He nearly defeats most of the Pikmin he encounters. 😅
