Bungie, the legendary studio behind Halo and Destiny, is undergoing major restructuring after nearly a decade of Destiny 2 support, including layoffs and studio reorganization to pivot toward new projects like Marathon. Acquired by Sony in 2022 for $3.6 billion, the move reflects Sony’s strategic review and decision to realign resources for Bungie’s future — a painful but necessary step for a studio with deep gaming roots.

Man Escapes Hospital Van

A 32-year-old man in Thurston County is facing a second-degree escape charge after allegedly fleeing from hospital escorts—right after they told him to get out of the van. This isn’t his first brush with the law; he’s already jailed for trying to outrun cops and possessing illegal substances. The escape attempt included ditching his sandals mid-run and even claiming he popped his own dislocated shoulder back into place during the ride—raising eyebrows. After being tackled, he reportedly told the deputy he was crushing him, while the deputy reminded him he was trying to escape. The deputy suffered a bad knee injury in the chase. The judge agreed to restrain him during his hearing and set bail at $10,000—double his previous bail. This guy’s got a real talent for turning medical trips into courtroom dramas.

Judge Blocks Trump’s Mail Voting Order

A federal judge has slapped a major pause on President Trump’s controversial mail-in voting executive order, ruling he overstepped his constitutional authority by forcing states to hand over voter lists to the Postal Service and requiring Homeland Security to compile voting-age citizen databases. The judge emphasized that election rules are solely state jurisdiction, not federal executive power — a blow to Trump’s effort to combat noncitizen voting, which officials say is extremely rare. While the administration insists the order will still be implemented before November, key provisions are now on hold, and the case heads to appeals court — a critical legal setback in a string of recent challenges to Trump’s election interference attempts.
