  • #BoycottSony is trending after Sony confirmed it will stop releasing new PlayStation games on physical discs from 2028.

Many gamers say the move means less ownership, fewer resale options, and greater reliance on digital storefronts, while others believe it’s an inevitable step towards the future of gaming.

Will you keep buying PlayStation games, or is this a deal-breaker?
  • 📱 WhatsApp is finally getting usernames!
Soon, you’ll be able to chat without sharing your phone number. Instead, you can reserve a unique @username, giving you a more private way to connect with friends, businesses, and new contacts.
  • Don’t worry, you aren’t just “lazy”.
In 1980, the median US home cost $64,600 on an income of $17,710.

Today it’s $420,300 on $83,730.
Home prices: up 551%.

Wages: up 373%.
We’re not bad with money. The math just stopped mathing.
🔖 Save this for the next time someone says “just stop buying coffee.”
