I was told "Mangione i ricchi" makes no sense in Italian. Normalizing nonsense is having its moment - but some nonsense still makes more sense than others:
"In the board game Billionaires & Guillotines, 2-5 players take on the role of plutocrats vying to grab the wealth of the world before their actions trigger a revolution where they all lose… a lot more than their assets."

Pirate Care: Acts Against the Criminalization of Solidarity.
In a moment of struggle defined by the rollback of the social safety net, the criminalization of migration, and the right-wing clampdown on bodily autonomy, radical networks of care are fighting back.

Read Pirate Care last night (with Tiggy) - worth checking out if you're feeling helpless in front of "what can we do" kinds of questions right now.
Worthwhile reminder of the transformative potential in gathering enough courage to "practice care dangerously."

You know what's fun? How I spent my adult life telling people that the christian extremists in America wanted a strong Israel because the obliteration of Israel is part of their end times narrative, and they're trying to bring on the apocalyse from Revelations, and people though I was the weird one.

I can see why CEOs might be terrified with revenge in the air. But knowing both people and their world, I'd bet on CEOs or someone close using this as the perfect crime: a hit-man, engraved bullets, bam! Revolution? Hardly. Just business as usual—someone climbs the ladder, or gets a simpler divorce.
