Incoherent Queer Screaming

Four frame comic. First frame shows a Canadian flag. Text reads : the new canadian citizenship policy, which was enacted in December 2025, restores citizenship by descent, for ancestors as far as you can prove. 2nd frame shows a locomotive. Text reads : that means that if one of your grandparents, great-grand- parents or even farther was demonstrably born in Canada, you don't even need to apply for citizenship - you are retro- actively granted it. Third frame shows an old dusty register book. Text reads : the process involves linking your CanadA-born ancestor to yourself by digging up a paper trail of birth or wedding certificates, proof of immigration or adoption, etc. thanks to Canadian archive- keeping traditions, this is possible by reaching out to towns, parishes, national archives*... Fourth frame shows old factory chimneys. Text reads : between 1840 and 1930, 925 000 French-Canadians fled persecution and economic oppression by moving to the usa. today, their descendants represent around ten million people, or 3% of the U.s. population. if it's time for you to come back, we haven't forgotten about you.

I'm not saying that Canada is perfect, I'm saying that the bar is pretty low right now.

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

Good god, my Bacon Number is 2. That's enough professional degrees of separation to have NO actual bearing on anything anymore. That person isn't really operating in normal reality

Ok, I legit can't remember if I've heard the man talk before but I hit play on this clip and he does NOT sound well. It sounds like he's pushing through pain.

Can't wait to take health advice from him

My microwave just blew a fuse and died. I guess I was using it wrong by *checks notes* "Opening the door"

Looked it up and apparently that's an extremely common problem???

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"

No you don't.

If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

Have you considered being shorter? It really helps with airplanes and stuff. Things on the top shelf aren't That important

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles.

"The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

Screenshot of a Wall Street Journal opinion article titled “A Guaranteed Income Won’t Stop People From Wanting to Work,” by Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo. A subheading says evidence from programs around the world suggests basic income does not make recipients lazier. Below the headline is a photo of several women sitting outdoors at a table working.

"Not only don't people work less when they are guaranteed an income, they might actually put in more effort at work. And the fact that they have more money to spend leads to the creation of more jobs."

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

'We are shutting it down:' Ubisoft unions call for international strike Five unions in France have proposed a mass walkout in February in response to widespread cost-cutting and a return-to-office mandate.

Two posts from Tumblr user awakefor48hours "You should create for yourself" and "it's okay to feel discouraged when creating your own original projects if no one interacts with them" are two sentences that should be able to co-exist with each other On the one hand, you should kill that capitalist in your head that tells you to make art only for the enjoyment of other people. On the other hand, it's totally fine to be disappointed that you spent hours or even days on something that only got 4 notes. You can feel both ways.

I really hate that politics in the US consist of one party trying to do as much harm as possible and the other trying to stop you from being able to do anything about it

It.... calls to me... I want to full sprint towards that snow and leap into it as though I'd be able to slide along the surface on my belly like a penguin

Inevitably crashing through it to hard ground and not sliding, back bending in the impact hard enough to kick the back of my own head

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

It is astounding to me that a strike can ever be illegal

ICE Out for Good On January 23, people across the country are taking action in solidarity with Minnesota to demand ICE out of our communities. Join the day of action.

And I encourage you to participate in a day of solidarity with Minnesota tomorrow. More details here: iceoutforgood.org

The Honorable Andrew N. Ferguson Chair of the Federal Trade Commission 600 Pennsylvania Ave NW Dear Chairman Ferguson, We are writing to express serious concerns regarding the proposed acquisition of Electronic Arts (EA) by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia, and private equity firms Silver Lake and Affinity Partners. We are committed to preserving fair, competitive labor markets and safeguarding American jobs, and given the impact of this acquisition on workers, labor market concentration, and the long-term competitiveness of the U.S. video game industry, we urge you to thoroughly review this transaction. Workers in the video game industry are already navigating an environment marked by instability, shrinking opportunities, and repeated rounds of layoffs. EA is one of the largest employers of video game workers in the United States, and evidence suggests the company already wields significant wage-setting power. For example, EA’s own disclosures show a steep decline in median worker pay year-over-year.1 This indicates that the company may already face limited competitive pressure to retain or reward talent. Compounding that issue, EA has eliminated more than 1,700 U.S. jobs since 2023, contributing to an industry-wide total of over 35,000 layoffs since 2022.2 These trends are deeply concerning as they signal a labor market where workers already have fewer alternatives and employers can impose deteriorating conditions without consequence. Additionally, we are concerned that the proposed buyout is expected to be financed with at least $20 billion in debt, which creates strong incentives for the acquiring firms to pursue further cost-cutting measures, including layoffs, offshoring, restructuring, or studio closures. These actions would not only jeopardize thousands of high-skilled American jobs, but also further concentrate already fragile labor markets for software engineers, artists, writers, testers, and other professionals

This level of cross-ownership presents risks of self-preferencing and anticompetitive coordination across these sports, sports-related talent, and sports-related video game business lines. This could, consequently, restrict worker mobility and reduce bargaining power for employees throughout the industry. Finally, the FTC’s 2023 Merger Guidelines make clear that mergers harming workers, suppressing wages, or enabling dominant firms to reduce labor demand may violate antitrust laws. Given the scale of this acquisition and EA’s current dominance over the domestic video-game labor market, we believe careful scrutiny of this deal is essential. The transaction also raises serious concerns about interlocking directorates and common ownership across competing game publishers. This kind of overlap heightens the risk of coordinated anti-labor practices, including wage suppression, hiring restrictions, or informal no-poach dynamics and could further weaken the already limited bargaining power workers have in this industry. These risks should weigh heavily as the Commission evaluates whether the acquisition would leave workers more vulnerable to coordinated or unilateral harms. We respectfully urge the Commission to conduct a thorough investigation into the labor market consequences of this proposed acquisition, including EA’s existing wage-setting power, the likelihood of post-transaction layoffs, the degree of labor-market concentration in relevant geographic and occupational markets, and the role of cross-ownership in shaping labor outcomes. Workers deserve a fair, competitive marketplace where their skills are valued. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely,

the congressional labor caucus has called for the FTC to review the saudi-led $55 billion purchase of EA, saying it stands to harm workers while discouraging competition by putting EA under the same umbrella as major sports leagues. the letter has been signed by 46 members of congress

Brick is so great. Rian Johnson's movies are all a love letter to a genre and his modern take on a detective noir film while changing the surroundings but diving do seem into the feel is just magic

One of the things I’m really struggling with about what’s going on in Minnesota is that if you describe what’s going on in plain, factual ways to someone who’s not paying close attention you sound completely, bugfuck crazy

It just doesn't feel sustainable that the only bet for a company to make in a game is "Lets throw a few hundred million at it and count on getting a massive return on investment." The capitalist desire of not just seeking Profit, but the most, extreme, high number profit, is not good for anyone

For a long time I've been working in the AAA space, watching games get bigger and bigger, budgets getting bigger and bigger, and the amount of complexity getting bigger and bigger. And in my free time gaming, I keep finding smaller games that do a simple thing well, and appreciating that charm
