AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Gov. Tim Walz: "They left us with deep damage. Generational trauma. Economic ruin in some cases. The left us with many unanswered questions. Where are our children? Where and what is the process of the investigation into those that were responsible for the deaths of Renee and Alex?"

they're cutting 200 jobs while forcing RTO because commercial real estate matters more than worker autonomy or the actual work getting done. which. honestly.. Classic tech leadership—prioritize sunk costs over people who make the product.

Game companies should be owned by their workers. They should be structured as worker owned micro democracies so this is never necessary again.

Over 1,000 Ubisoft workers around the world have walked off the job.

In response to a return-to-office mandate, layoffs, and the cancellation of several games, workers launched a three-day strike.

The workers walked out in response to five French unions issuing the strike call.

The strike comes after the publisher revealed plans to cut up to 200 jobs and ordered remote workers back into the office

You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050? Or an expensive experiment with niche coastal uses? Time will tell!

The empire that killed the Good Lord and persecuted His beloved Apostles and believers took up His image and wear His face in a mockery of the Good Word and ritually consecrated sin into virtue. Protestantism killed God and replaced it with the Calvinist God of the market.

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

When a video game boss glitches out the first time you fight it, that colours your perspective no matter how many times you do it "correctly". I fought a final boss where I hit it once and it shot straight up into the air and just never came down, and as far as I'm concerned that's the canon ending.

US District Court ruled California has the power to ban federal agents from wearing masks, but must include state officers. As a result, the court put a hold on enforcement.

Sen. Wiener immediately announced new legislation to add state officers into the law.
