Paizo is undergoing significant restructuring following a nearly $2 million financial loss in 2025, largely attributed to the bankruptcy of its former distributor, Diamond Comic Distributors. To manage the fallout, the company is laying off 12 employees, scaling back its organized play initiatives, and pausing Foundry VTT support for Pathfinder Society modules. While Paizo transitions its distribution to the Independent Publishers Group and works to recover book channel sales, it continues to focus on direct-to-consumer sales via its updated webstore. The tabletop industry is grappling with the proliferation of generative AI, with tensions surfacing at the UK Games Expo 2026. Critics and attendees expressed deep disappointment over the convention’s lack of an official policy prohibiting AI-generated content, contrasting it with other conventions that have taken firm stances. In response, creators and vendors utilized “Human Made” signage on the convention floor as a grassroots effort to push back against the use of AI tools, which they argue diminish human creativity and threaten the livelihoods of freelancers and artists. Meanwhile, Wizards of the Coast is signaling a shift in its technological approach, posting a vacancy for a senior AI engineer to develop customer-facing features, including systems for tutorials and NPC behaviors. This move coincides with Hasbro's launch of “Sixth Wall,” a new AI studio focused on licensing company IP characters like Optimus Prime and Mr. Potato Head for interactive experiences. By utilizing its “CharacterOS” platform and real voice actors, Hasbro aims to provide authorized, guardrail-protected versions of its characters to mitigate the spread of unauthorized AI-generated content using its intellectual property. In happier news for tabletop enthusiasts, Mongoose Publishing has released *The Infinity Suite*, a new 168-page campaign sourcebook for the *Traveller* RPG. The narrative centers on a band of interstellar rockstars who are heavily in debt and on the run from repo crews, forcing them to seek fame and inspiration across the Islands subsectors. The supplement introduces inventive mechanics to fit the rock ‘n’ roll theme, such as a Masterpiece System for song creation, a review system for music critics, Bass Battles, and Megastar Points to track the characters’ rise to fame. #paizo #ukgamesexpo #wotc #travellerrpg Roll Big or Go Home Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/k49Mnd Doctor Who and Warhammer to Cthulhu, Transformers, and even My Little Pony!

He shares the stories behind the songs, including how “Jackson” came together, why “You and Tequila” is his favorite kind of Kenny Chesney song, and how “Islands in the Stream” was originally written by the Bee Gees with a totally different sound in mind. Bobby also explains why “Cowgirls Don’t Cry” still gets him emotional, the duet that helped pull him back into country music, and why “Whiskey Lullaby” takes the top spot.

De Clarke / Cortes Currents - My assumption is that we will, at some point in time, see a fire on Cortes of a severity that will flabbergast the population. It may not happen this year, and it may not happen in 10 years, but the conditions are getting very, very bad. That is what Mike Brown, volunteer fire fighter and long time Cortes resident, had to say at the May 3rd meeting on Emergency Preparedness in the Pioneer Room. At that thinly-attended meeting, SRD emergency services staffer Sarah Rosen gave a presentation on emergency preparedness for individuals and households. As part of her presentation she reviewed potential emergencies in our local area. Cortes Island is fortunate to be sheltered from tsunamis; earthquakes are rare in BC; the island has no rivers to flood or dams to burst (unlike Campbell River, where the hydro power dam is currently undergoing seismic safety renovations). The island has no hazardous chemical plants or huge fuel dumps. The one serious disaster-grade risk to the Cortes community is wildfire.

Länge har rymdforskare och astronauter åkt till Island, men först nu har landet sitt eget rymdforskningsinstitut. Förhoppningen är ökat internationellt samarbete kring rymden - och Arktis. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Programmet sändes första gången i februari 2026.Islands kombination av kargt klimat och vulkanism har länge gjort landet till en värdefull plats för rymdforskning och träning av astronauter. Daniel Leeb, som leder Islands nyetablerade rymdforskningsinstitut, ser ön som platsen för rymdfarande nationer som vill mer än till månen eller till Mars. Både rymdforskning och forskning om Arktis handlar om miljöer som hela mänskligheten måste ta ansvar för, och om att tillsammans lösa problem med hur man överlever i de mest extrema miljöer.Medverkande: Daniel Leeb/chef för Islands rymdforskningsinstitut, Johan Köhler/avdelningschef forskning och utveckling RymdstyrelsenReporter: Ylva Carlqvist Warnborgvet@sr.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.se

Little Saint James Island, a secluded private island once owned by a high-profile financier, Jeffrey Epstien, has become one of the most talked-about locations in modern history. Surrounded by mystery, allegations, and unanswered questions, the island has fueled years of speculation about what truly went on behind closed doors. From elite connections to claims of hidden activities, many are still asking—how deep did it all go?Is Little Saint James Island simply the center of a criminal case that's already been exposed, or is there more beneath the surface that the public has yet to fully understand? YouTuber “Dancer” takes us closer to the island for a deeper look into what's known, what's alleged, and what people are still trying to uncover.

For review:1. Raúl Castro, Cuba's low-profile former president and revolutionary guerrilla, appeared in public for the first time since being indicted by the United States for his alleged role in the 1996 downing of two civilian aircraft, official video released Saturday showed.2. The United States and Iran exchanged fire overnight Friday amid a fragile ceasefire as American officials stepped up preparations for potential nuclear negotiations, including consultations this week with experts who could help determine the fate of Tehran's enriched uranium stockpile.The US military said it carried out strikes on Iranian radar sites in what it described as a defensive action after Iran launched four attack drones toward the Strait of Hormuz.3. The United States will make Iranian assets available to Gulf allies to support rebuilding and repairs for future damage caused by Iran, a source familiar with the matter says.The US will also consider using those assets to support repairs for past damages, the source says, adding that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has directed a team to assess costs for damage already inflicted on Gulf allies by Iran.4. A plan developed by Israel and the Mossad intelligence agency to topple the Iranian regime could still succeed if given time, but it has not been carried out to completion due to the United States' decision in April to halt the war against the Islamic Republic, a former senior Mossad official told Channel 12 on Saturday. In any event, he insisted, the regime will fall sooner or later.5. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun accused Iran Friday of using Lebanon as a “bargaining chip” in negotiations with the United States, and called on both Hezbollah and Israel to embrace diplomacy in a bid to end the fighting between them.6. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he does not see any point in meeting Volodymyr Zelensky after the Ukrainian leader requested face-to-face talks over ending the war between the two nations.7. In a rare moment of bipartisanship in the US Congress, the House tonight passed a package of Russian sanctions and military aid for Ukraine.House members voted 226-195 to pass the Ukraine Support Act, which authorizes $8 billion in military finance loans to Ukraine and extends the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative through 2027.8. Russia could attack a NATO country within four years according to western intelligence assessments, UK PM warned on Friday.9. The U.S. will sell Australia three in-service Virginia-class submarines, pivoting from the planned acquisition of one new and two in-service Virginias, the countries announced.

The National Science Foundation has announced it will begin removing most of the Ocean Observatories Initiative, a collection of roughly 900 instruments in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans that gathers fixed-point data on temperature, carbon dioxide levels, and more. The move is part of a broader trend within the current administration to shelve climate science research and reporting.   Also, today the Agora and Acropolis of Athens, Delphi on Mount Parnassus, and other Greek archaeological sites preserve not only cultural heritage, but also animal and plant species, including some that were around in ancient times and are described in historical accounts and Greek mythology. And the indigenous residents of Bougainville island in Papua New Guinea say their home used to provide them with everything they needed—shelter, fertile land, and clean water. That is until a copper and gold mine run by British-Australian company Rio Tinto set up shop and operated in the 1970s and 80s. Today, heavy metals like copper sulfate and cadmium still pollute waterways, and Theonila Roka Matbob, the 2026 Goldman Environmental Prize Winner for Islands and Island Nations, has been fighting for years to pressure Rio Tinto into taking full responsibility for remediating this damage. --   Save the date and sign up for the next virtual Living on Earth Book Club event on July 14 at 5 pm PDT / 8 pm EDT!

On this day, 4 June 2003 after five weeks of strike action, workers in the Faroe Islands won a pay increase of 9% over the next two years, as well as other improvements.Around 12,000 workers organised in the Færøernes Arbejderforeninger walked out on strike in May – almost a third of the entire working population. Most of the strikers were dockworkers or workers in the fish processing industry.The refusal to unload ships caused supplies and fuel on the islands to run out, which forced the employers to concede to several demands, including a pay increase, an increase in piece rate payments to dockworkers, as well as new contractual arrangements forcing employers to purchase specialist equipment needed by workers for certain jobs.

More people are interested in living with family – even at the top end of the property market. Housing Survey data shows about one in 10 people want, or plan to, live with multiple generations in their next home. Sotheby's International Realty says wealthy buyers, like Active Investor Plus visa holders, often look for properties to accommodate this. Managing Director Mark Harris told Heather du Plessis-Allan the areas they're seeing this in currently are places Queenstown, Wanaka, and the Bay of Islands, and while some are buying holiday homes, there is a longer term element as well. He says there's definitely a view towards intergenerational wealth protection, with people pooling resources and looking at New Zealand from a long-term point of view.

One peninsula to the north of the Bay of Islands is home to an estimated three thousand Northland brown kiwi. The Pest Free Purerua-Mataroa project aims to reduce predators numbers on the peninsula and defend its narrow neck from re-invasion. Working across a patchwork of landuse and landowners, the team are using AI traps and technology to help catch the remaining pests. But one feral cat continues to elude them, and the ongoing threat to kiwi from pet dogs is proving tricky to solve.

Hello boys and girls, Welcome to Episode 475 of The Motorcycle Men Podcast! Tonight, Ted, Tim, Chris, and Justin are back in the shed and ready to unleash another round of motorcycle talk, questionable insights, and the kind of laughter that only happens when four grown men pretend to run a professional show.We're catching up on a whole lineup of recent interviews — from the creators of the rock opera Suzy the Cycle Witch, to ADV guru Bret Tkacs, to roadside‑oddity legend Doug Kirby, to Holly Duttera of Ohio Bike Week, and even Norm Kern from the Motorcycle Sport Touring Association. If it's got wheels, weirdness, or a story, we've talked to it.We'll also dive into the National Days Calendar because apparently May is everything month: Paper Airplane Day, Blueberry Cheesecake Day, National Hamburger Month, National Barbecue Month, National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, and even International Drum Month.

North America still leads the pack, Chicago is still our biggest U.S. city, and yes… we lost our listener in the South Sandwich Islands. But we picked up folks in Iceland, Bermuda, Cuba, Zimbabwe, and even Madagascar. The global weirdness continues.We'll hit the BINIT, talk about Woody's Ireland adventure, E15 fuel approvals, Harley‑Davidson products that aren't motorcycles, and the Motorcycle Podcasters Challenge.So grab a coffee, settle in, and let's talk about why these old Harleys still get under our skin and stay there.

White sand beaches, ancient stone circles, single-track roads, and ferries that sell out months ahead. Scotland's islands are pure magic when you plan them properly, and we've just come back from an Outer Hebrides road trip ready to share the route and the reality so you can plan your own Lewis and Harris adventure with confidence.We start with the nuts and bolts: driving north from the Midlands, choosing the scenic Glencoe route, staying overnight in Ullapool, and taking the CalMac ferry to Stornoway. Then we get into what actually makes or breaks a Scottish islands itinerary, booking ferries first, locking in accommodation early, and building in flexibility for the weather. We also cover food strategy, from stocking up in Stornoway for self-catering to why reservations matter, plus a few standout places we genuinely rate.From there it's all on-the-ground tips for Lewis and Harris: how to handle passing places on single-track roads, what to watch for with lambs and livestock, when petrol stations might be shut, and why bilingual Scottish Gaelic signs are part of the experience. We finish with the moments you should not miss, beaches like Uig Sands and Luskentyre, the Callanish Stones, blackhouses, and local crafts including Harris Tweed, before giving an honest take on Skye's crowds, parking, and overtourism.Subscribe so you catch Part 2 on Mull and Iona, and if you enjoyed this one, a quick review on your favourite podcast app means the world.
