So they're all going to withhold their labour in response, right? And every other american union is going to do the same, right?

Because forming a union isn't a privilege bestowed by the government, it's a thing workers do

The counter-revolution (including from liberals) happened pretty intensely after that first month when the 3rd precinct in Minneapolis burned (which had 50% approval) and when Trump and his inner circle were hiding in a bunker in the white house due to the strength of the rioting outside

based on what I know of her other work, i think she was referring in large part to the George Floyd uprising in 2020 - but also a lineage going back to Occupy and other more dramatic revolts in other countries basically from 2010 onwards

I mean it must not if you're turning it off... I don't have one to know, i just would have assumed. Disappointing!

Does the AC not have a filter? I would have thought it is OK on smoke days for that reason

A sign written in marker on ripped cardboard that reads "JUMP! YOU FUCKERS!" rising above a crowd of people outside some kind of classically-influenced architecture draped in American flags. Is it the New York Stock Exchange? Some important bank? I dunno

Reading some more about the AI bubble and I'm confident that the pop is going to result in some signage a lot less charitable than this one from the 2008 crash

This is almost as funny as real life, where the cops said anarchists are hard to infiltrate because they read too much

Yeah I'd been resisting the full window closures but yesterday I was like "my cold is gone I thought but my throat feels... weird..." but then I saw the moon last night and it was very yellow. That's smoke, Christopher. Turn on your air purifier.

Some days that's just how it is

Aww yisss thanks

Oops, a few paragraphs down this flips to subscriber-only. Well, still, the first few paragraphs are bangers

We got close to something very transformative, very recently. We can do so again.

"Blackened" is a great adjective. Makes most genres of heavy music better, adds $5 to the price of menu items at many restaurants

Haha unrelated to that movie but I love when that happens- sometimes if I'm watching a show I'll respond to it as I'm watching to a friend who recommended it - i know it's not ideal viewing but its happened multiple times where I have a question/concern and then it's answered within the next minute

It was terribly brutal, that's for sure. I think i watched it in 2018 so I don't remember too much about it, but it was featured in a chapter of this theory book I read called "the form of the affects" that built a thesis (iirc) around the feeling of anxiety in that film. Which. It sure has a lot

The thing i found with funny games is that its "you're complicit" schtick was probably pretty fresh when it was new but now it feels kinda like "yeah, yeah, i get it."

I really liked the use of Naked City in the soundtrack though, that evil chaotic song at the start haha

Ahhh cool! Where'd you do the workshop?

Shades of 2020/2021 when grocery prices skyrocketed even if they weren't affected by severe supply bottlenecks

by age 30 you should have:

* strong opinions about birds
* 12 different "when i get time" projects on indefinite hiatus
* sandwich(es) you fruitlessly yearn to have again
* a growing list of obituaries you're looking forward to reading
* parasocial friendships with other people's pets

here's a music video about a tooth ache told through a kind of japanese oompa circus music and sketchy animation of an anthropomorphic cat

Mark Carney is planning to cut the women and gender equality ministry's budget by 81 percent. What right does he think he has to our parade when he won't even fund our survival?

A friend reminded me that there is a bunch of theory out there about how a defining feature of masculinity IS crisis but it's been a while since I've done much reading about "masculinity as crisis" so I can't really find a good piece to link about it right now

As a he/him (apathetic) masculinity abolitionist I love this

"i just use AI for-" say no more, i already think less of you

"This ungenerous impulse, to nail down meaning in horror, reduces the genre to an elaborate delivery system for toothless undergraduate theses and criticism to a simple scavenger hunt for clues."

Nodding serenely and correctly

When it first came out i often described it to people as "the ring but with STIs" which i want to believe differs from saying the monster IS STIs, since there's so much more there even without having to look very hard
