At the end of every summer, Vaux swifts start migrating through the region. For many years, thousands and thousands of them used to roost each night, precisely at sunset, in the Chapman elementary school chimney.

After decades of roosting there and attracting near circus-level crowds that watched them each night, they appear to be seeking quieter locations to roost each night on the east side of Portland. It’s probably for the best – the swift parties near the school were getting out of control.

Little did I know someone actually wrote a song about them.

Bungie was bankrupt when Sony bought them?

Fascinating. Comments from a former workers who have become very vocal after layoffs said the studio was struggling with too many projects and even the success of the Destiny series was not covering the bills.

Bungie misrepresented its finances and had significantly overextended itself when Sony acquired the studio for $3.6 billion in 2022, former workers claimed in a new Game File report published in the wake of Wednesday’s layoffs.

It was apparently bad enough that at least one source described as a “well-connected former worker” went so far as to claim that Bungie faced dire consequences if the acquisition hadn’t happened, saying that the “alternate history is insolvency.”

OFFLAIN has a channel where he tells 2-3 sentence ‘scary stories’. They’re not all safe for work, and some are very odd – but they have become the source of a lot of memes.

My favorite is the kitty clip – which is right at 4:01

“Oh! That’s a good kitty”, I say as I pet on kitty.
“No. I’m evil kitty”, says evil kitty.
