A few weeks ago, I was informed I was being laid off from NBC News. I’d been on bereavement and medical leave, so it was a bit of a shock. After taking some time to reset, I am now open and looking for work both in and outside of journalism. Get in touch at hello@daysiatolentino.com.

I wrote about why those scouring the social media of Luigi Mangione are fixating on a Pokémon called Breloom.
Breloom, who appears in Mangione’s X header, has the Pokédex No. 286, which some people claim is a clue to the alleged shooter’s inner thoughts.

Playing my first non-coop horror game alone in the dark since I moved into my new apartment and I am both excited and terrified.
If you’ve never played Mundaun, I highly, highly recommend it from its hand-penciled art style to its unique gameplay to its incredible storytelling.
But it’s scary!!!
