Trans healthcare can be a bit of a fight in this country, but at least they're upfront about it now 🤣

I'm not going to worry about the fact that my food delivery stopped for several minutes in a cemetery. I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason.

This includes the case of one fired union member who appears to have been fired for posting just a single, fifteen-word message onto the Discord in which he confirmed there was not(!) any crunch happening on his team.

The discord members referred to by Rockstar lawyers as "journalists" and "competitors" were union officials and ex-employees still under NDA.
I mean I knew Rockstar were bullshitting but that is an impressive piece of bare faced lying.

Our statement concerning the decision to not grant interim pay relief to the member's fired by Rockstar. We remain confident in the strength of our case against Rockstar Games and we reiterate our firm belief that Rockstar broke the law when it summarily dismissed 31 union members.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

Draw what you want! Sounds really basic but solely making art with the expectation of popularity + success will poison the well of your artistic spirit, and you won’t really develop an artistic voice if you’re just trying appease your audience at all times, save for a voice that actually isn’t yours
