Eddie Murphy says the early 1980s felt more innocent before crack and AIDS changed everything “Back then there was no crack yet, there was no AIDS. It was a more innocent time.” “The number one record was ‘All Night Long.’ That’s how innocent the times were.” “Nobody had more fun than we did.” “Me, Charlie, Paul Mooney, my Uncle Ray, we laughed constantly.” “It was just raucous laughter all the time.”

Before Jacqueline. Before Jazz. Before Bianca Belair. There was Black Venus on WWE television. Black Venus (Jean Kirkland) remains the only Black woman to wrestle on WWF television during the 1980s and is believed to be the first to do so in the company’s history. A forgotten pioneer who challenged for the WWF Women’s Championship, competed in Japan, and helped pave the way for future generations. 🧵👇 1/2 #WWE #WWE80sLadies #WomensWrestling

Australia is planning some of the world's toughest AI regulations • Water usage will be limited • AI data centers will be required to become net producers of energy • AI companies can't train on Australian creators' work without their permission • Proposals expected to be introduced as legislation in 2027 “Australian writers, musicians, artists and journalists must retain ownership and control of their work. Our laws will spell that out, plain as day ... anything less is theft"

People in Japan are starting to rebel against data centers, going as far as filing lawsuits and petitions to prevent them from being built. One lawsuit claims data centers are a dire threat to "peaceful daily existence" in Japan.

Crazy how far Sony has fallen off in terms of reputation and love from gamers between PS4 era and July 1, 2026🚀 ✅Disappointing first party games for PS5 ✅Barely noticeable generational leap ✅Push for live service failed miserably ✅Many games cancelled ✅Many studio closed, some with no games ✅Bungie deal biggest waste of money ✅Plan to end physical games by Jan 2028 And now they’re accused of (not officially confirmed but speculated based on data and reports): ✅Engineering and exaggerated data to claim physical discs don’t sell ✅Attempting to create a monopoly ✅Claims or using bots to defend digital-only gaming future It’s really sad to watch, especially after Sony was the untouchable darling of the industry just few years ago. They really need to do away with those tone-deaf and creatively bankrupt CEOs and bring Shuhei Yoshida, who’s actually passionate about games and gamers. Keep up the pressure NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

Did You Know? After the Toonami April Fools' prank, the block returned with the English dub premiere of Deadman Wonderland as one of the first acquisitions. On the Toonami Audience Takeover Bracket, DeMarco discussed how much they loved the show and even tried to get more made.

For me, this is already a story from a career that spans the past 31 years. I’m probably one of the people in the game industry who has traveled to the largest number of countries and actually met local fan communities in person. So honestly, I’ve been influenced by people and cultures from all over the world. More than race itself, I think I’ve always been influenced by “regional culture” and “organizational culture.” One of the most fascinating moments involving your culture happened in 2019, when I revealed Leroy Smith. (The visual design wasn’t mine, but the original character concept was.) Right after the reveal, I received this message from the American fan community: “Can we… can we invite you to the cookout for making an awesome character like this?” Now, as someone from my generation in Japan, I was actually considered relatively good at reading and writing English. By then I’d already been to North America over 50 times, had maintained the English I learned for university entrance exams, and had been communicating with people on Twitter in English long before translation apps became useful, let alone AI translation. But honestly… when I saw that sentence, I had absolutely no idea what it meant. In fact, my very first reaction was: “Oh no… I’m finished.” Here’s why. Back then I was frequently arguing against articles spreading hate toward video games, and I kept seeing people replying with the word “cooked.” As you know, “cooked” can mean you’re done, finished, or completely destroyed. I also often saw “roasted.” Because of that, I honestly assumed “cookout” was just an even stronger version of “cooked.” So for one terrifying moment, I read it as: “Hey… we… we… can invite you to a party where we’re going to beat you up and roast you?” Even though I thought I knew America pretty well, I genuinely wondered if I’d somehow pressed some invisible cultural button that I wasn’t supposed to touch. Later, I had another misunderstanding. People kept calling me: “You are the fxxking GOAT.” And for about two or three years I honestly thought, “Damn… here’s another guy calling me ‘a fxxking goat… this animal bastard.’ Better ignore the bait.” Some people even replied with 🐐 emojis, so I genuinely believed they were insulting me by calling me an animal. Because of misunderstandings like that, I seriously thought: “Man… getting our characters accepted by Americans is really difficult. They might actually be even more sensitive than Japanese people in many ways. We need to study their culture much more.” Anyway, back to the cookout story. Eventually someone explained that a “cookout” in the African American community is actually one of the highest compliments possible—basically saying: “You’re someone we’d trust enough to invite to our close-knit family BBQ, where only real friends and loved ones are welcome.” That explanation was a huge relief. Then they started showing me BBQ equipment and ingredients… …and I was absolutely shocked that everything was several times bigger than what we have in Japan. Sure, I expected the smoker grills to be huge. But even the tongs and spatulas were enormous, and the meat looked like something I’d only ever seen as loot in an MMORPG. Looking back now, I honestly regret not immediately flying to the U.S. and accepting an invitation to one of those community cookouts. That really was the perfect opportunity. Anyway… I’ve wandered way off topic. Of course I can’t claim that I fully understand what you call Black culture. But if we’re talking about the parts that have genuinely influenced me, the cookout story is certainly one of them. And the people in these photos have also had a significant influence on me. (I’d like to include many more, but I’ll limit it to four photos.)
