Fans come to the rescue of popular Mario content creator

Fans of the popular Mario blog, Supper Mario Broth, have come together to remind us that the internet can still be a place where good things happen.

Supper Mario Broth is one of the most wholesome Mario blogs on the internet. Since 2017, its owner has posted a regular stream of Mario-flavored tidbits he could dig up including interesting glitches, old advertisements and merchandise, screenshots, gifs, artwork, and more. If it’s obscure and has to do with Mario, Supper Mario Broth will let you know about it and the blog has become a celebrated institution in the broader Nintendo community.

However on October 17th, the person behind all this wonderful content posted a video saying the entire endeavor was in danger of being permanently shut down. “This is the end of Supper Mario Broth as we know it,” said the creator, who has not revealed his real name and prefers to simply go by Broth.

In the short-but-heart-wrenching video, Broth revealed that for the last six years he was the primary caregiver for his mother. He said the government assistance he received for that work, in addition to a part-time salary and meager earnings from his Patreon was just barely enough to allow him to work on Supper full-time. However, Broth shared that his mother passed away and that his other earnings wouldn’t be enough for him to stay in his apartment.

“I will have to get a full-time job,” he said. “And I will not have any time to do Supper Mario Broth anymore.”

Broth ends the video with an emotional plea begging his fans for their help.

“I’m praying for a miracle,” Broth said.

The very next day, October 18th, Broth posted an update saying support he received was so great that not only would he be able to continue his work full-time but he’d also be able to expand his operation.

Because of community, mutual support, and genuine human empathy, a person had their livelihood saved. Not only that, but Broth’s work has genuinely contributed to the preservation of Mario history and we, thankfully, still get to enjoy that.

“I will always remember […] all of the joy we shared in Mario,” Broth said. “And I hope that whatever happens, you will remember me.”

Google will once again ban election ads after the polls close

Google will once again ban election ads after the polls close

Google is planning to ban advertisers from running ads related to the US presidential election after polls close on November 5th. Axios reports that this is the second time Google has decided to ban election ads once polls close, after first implementing the policy during the 2020 election.

Google says it’s reenacting the policy again this year “out of an abundance of caution and to limit the potential for confusion, given the likelihood that votes will continue to be counted after Election Day.”

During the last presidential election in 2020, it took days for President Biden’s win to be confirmed after an influx of postal voting during the pandemic. Google’s policy applies to any US election ads or ads that refer to the US elections that run through its ad platforms like Google Ads, YouTube, Shopping ads, and more.

Meta is also blocking new political ads during the final week of the US election campaign, like it did in 2020. It has also been requiring advertisers to disclose when they use AI or other digital methods to alter ads.

Amazon will stream a live election special hosted by Brian Williams

Amazon wants Prime Video to be the place you watch coverage of election night. The company announced today that it will be streaming a live election night special on Prime Video hosted by former NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams. The show will kick off on November 5th at 5PM ET.

“Brian Williams will be joined live by guests including prominent contributors across news and traditional media, representing a range of backgrounds and perspectives, to share real-time poll results and commentary while also referencing third-party news sources across all political affiliations,” Amazon writes in a blog post. The company adds that it will be an “informative, accessible and non-partisan presentation.” Amazon will announce the guests in “the coming weeks.”

The show and Williams’ involvement were rumored to be in the works last month.

This election night special is just the latest live programming from Amazon on Prime Video. The company has aired live Thursday Night Football NFL games since 2022, and it will be getting a lot of NBA games starting in 2025.
