Mostly here to talk about SFF stories and how to bring down capitalism. Sadly doubt they can be combined. Sports talk may also occur.

Storföretagen hatar att jag kan bygga min egen dator
Att hyra och låna är inte frihet från materialism. Det är ett beroende av företagen som när som helst kan dra ut sladden.

Discworld QOTD, from Moving Pictures
"‘Er, I was just wondering, Mr. Dibbler... what is my motivation for this scene?’
‘Motivation?’
‘Yes. Er, I got to know, see,’ said Rock.
‘How about: I’ll fire you if you don’t do it properly?’
Rock grinned. ‘Right you are, Mr. Dibbler,’ he said."

Patti LaBelle and her son Zuri Kye Edwards have wiped out more than $667,000 in unpaid school lunch debt, helping thousands of children across the United States. LaBelle called the act “a victory greater than any Grammy,” emphasizing that no child should ever have to learn on an empty stomach.

Conversely I did not have "likes Times New Roman" to be added to "interested in early and mid mediaeval Nordic history," "enjoying traditional music," and "generally being Swedish" as things I have to add a "not a fascist" disclaimer.
Can't say I ever expected to see a "That Font was No Angel" headline. But here we are.

Fucking incredible dystopian shit, comparing super rich people risking millions if not billions of lives just to make more money to people that risked their life actually building incredible things that would then make millions of dollars for super rich people.

About ten years younger, I'm guessing, and this was true for the 90s as well.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s.
If you weren't there, just a little clarification on that Spectator piece.
Literally, NOBODY admired Hitler. Apart from nazis.
Hope that helps.

In Sweden, corporate acquisitions lead to persistent earnings losses for workers.
Wages fall, some workers are displaced, and the gains largely go to acquiring CEOs and shareholders.
Employment and revenue stay flat. Profit rises because value is extracted from workers.

I do think it’s bizarre that the most gender essentialist conservative women are like “men should be in power but also women need spaces away from them because they’re dangerous and stupid and also dirty and gross and kinda boring”

I have not watched The Boys but on account of watching trailers for The Boys I now require there to be an SFF series of some sort that stars Karl Urban and Dominic Cooper as brothers. Perhaps they could get up to some hijinks?
