Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Zohran has ended his victory speech by summoning and entrapping the spirit of Andrew Cuomo in a Greater Soul Gem. The translucent former governor's mouth hangs open in a pained howl as he writhes within the jewel, but makes no sound.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

Rockstar union workers have set up a solidarity fund to help them survive and fight after 30 of them were fired in an attempt to destroy the union.

Help them fight back! If you can, any little bit you can donate will massively help their efforts.

Okay wow i played that solidly across 2 days, what a game - highly recommend it if you love a good mystery.

(One note, it has a timed mechanic, but its very generous and I fully completed the game with a lot of time to spare, so if your like me and get ansy about that kinda thing I wouldn't worry!)

All that's wrong with the EHRC "guidance" in one paragraph
“There was no consultation with stakeholders – or even their own staff. It included legal inaccuracies and has since been withdrawn. And while it was big on how to exclude, it had nothing to say on how to include trans people in public life”

This seems outrageously cruel.

And just a handful of months before these folks would have been set to enjoy the release of one of the biggest games of their careers too.

The imbalance of power in the games industry remains utterly fucked.

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.

We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

Fucking vile - i hope at the least the staff can get everything they can from Rockstar in court.

Solidarity with the staff

Quote from the article:

"The Grand Theft Auto maker terminated between 30 and 40 staffers across multiple offices in the UK and Canada on Thursday, according to a spokesperson for the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB). All of the employees were part of a private trade union chat group on Discord and were either members of the union or attempting to organize at the company, the union spokesperson said"

Take out the data centre, and use the electricity to heat three hospitals instead

Greedy industries offer scraps of their own waste to underfunded and undervalued public services all the time, as a way of greenwashing their public image. You don't have to accept it.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying about having sailed in the same ship once owned by the legendary Theseus, yet when pressed he admitted that every part of the ship had been replaced at least once and therefore can one truly call it the same ship?

Zito @zeets.bsky.social · 8d

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days
