RICKY GERVAIS USES HIS OWN HARD-EARNED MONEY TO RESCUE THE FINAL BEARS FROM CRUEL BILE FARMS Comedian Ricky Gervais has donated $200,000 from the profits of his Mortality tour to Animals Asia. This generous gift will directly help rescue and rehabilitate the last one hundred fifty bears still trapped in tiny cages on the remaining bile farms in Vietnam. These animals have suffered years of painful bile extraction in conditions that no creature should ever endure. It is inspiring to see private philanthropy and personal success making a real difference by fighting this barbaric practice through action rather than empty talk.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Koji Suzuki. His novel "Ring" (リング) left its mark on modern horror by introducing Sadako to the world, and Koji's legacy will live on wherever her story is told, including in The Fog. Our thoughts are with his loved ones at this difficult time.

The Author for the original "The Ring" novel has passed away. As we all know his character, Sadako Yamamura, is in Dead by Daylight. Thank you for your work, and we all loved her place in one of our favorite games. 🩵 Rest in Peace, Koji Suzuki.

In Australia, a man named Alfie Date moved into a retirement home at the age of 109. About 12 hours after he arrived, two of the nurses came to his room and asked if he could knit. He could, he’d been at it since 1932. They told him about a program asking volunteers to knit tiny woolen sweaters for an endangered species called Little Penguins. The sweaters stop oil-covered birds from cleaning themselves with their beaks during a spill, because the oil is toxic if they swallow it. Alfie said yes. He spent his last two years knitting hundreds of them. He was lost in 2016, at 110.
