BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

so @matteowong.bsky.social & I wrote on data centers: arguably the most important buildings in the world & are, in a way, holding the economy hostage. Byzantine financial instruments, private equity, depreciating tech, hype, $trillion valuations. it’s all there. an ai crash prob starts here.

Dear System: give me back the health you're actively stealing from me and other #artists, by my forcing me to create art under such awful, unequal conditions (these conditions being Work & Economics.) Or I'll pull the health I'm owned out of your dead bones.

This was a Bluesky pain-release rant.

robert what. philosophy @robertwhat.bsky.social · 7d

The actual meaning of my Repetitive Strain Injury is: people needlessly suffer under the repetitive strain of Capitalism & the shitty, deeply unfair societal healthcare gap. Why should rich bastards be able to immediately check into a private healthcare clinic for a mild punting strain? Fuck you!

After repeatedly hammering away at the Doctor's #surgery about my at-times *agonizing* shoulder #RSI #pain they've finally released me from the endless 'referral death spiral' and I'm seeing a.nother specialist - at the end of what will be a long-ass month of pointless suffering. But not meaningless

Nobody will read this, and if they do, since they are too are but one person alone in a societal network of neoliberal hyper-individualism and ruthless Thatcherite careerism, they will already be trained to ignore all other similar voices crying in the electronic void. The #Internet is the loneliest

robert what. philosophy @robertwhat.bsky.social · 7d

Give me the basic equal and fair societal and cultural conditions I demand by default as a human being! Then we can talk out art (Art-As-Work, as in #Artwork.) As it is, I am an atomized individual left to hustle from one sentence to the next, without meaningful support networks of friends & artists

What is "Repetitive Strain Injury" after all, if not the repetitive stain of #BullshitJobs, grinding away the delicate gears of one's limited health into dust. If only I wasn't forced by poverty (caused by evil rich lizards) to sit here all flocking day and type crap into this stupid lump of plastic

robert what. philosophy @robertwhat.bsky.social · 7d

Prevention above all else would be one possible way forward - but of course since there's far more naked profit to be made in synthetic, forever-temporary fixes this will never happen. We poor of the UK are sick & unhealthy, precisely because we're deliberately kept under the yoke of poverty.

Want a free insider tip for remaining healthy? Here's one: avoid the #NHS Accident & #Emergency ward like the flocking plague! Or Covid in this case, since I saw only one out of 40 people were wearing masks. What a desperate sink hole. Talk about a society of massive inequality; a vast Ginnungagap

robert what. philosophy @robertwhat.bsky.social · 7d

The #NHS Accident & Emergency ward is not a place where understanding compassion and #empathy can survive, but rather were they go do die under the buzzing fluorescent lights of underpaid overwork, endless BS rounds of 'consultations' and other hyper-bureaucratic absurdity

One woman complained about her pain for a solid hour. The nurses on duty were kung-fu masters of de-escalation. There was a sorry kind of deadness in their eyes; one could easily tell the only way anyone working in such a desperate hell hole could survive mentally is to totally detach themselves

"NHS? NHS? THIS IS SPARTAN!!!" #healthcare #wellness #pain Several hours in some guy came around with the limpest, driest cheese sandwiches possible and offered people a cup of tea. 6.5 hours in A&E buddy, you'd better be offering patients iced frappacino with gold leaf shavings and a blowjob.

1

robert what. philosophy @robertwhat.bsky.social · 7d

Oh #NHS, at this point how are you anything more than a shambling undead corpse, lurching from one deeply unsatisfied patient to another, ever possible corner cut, every single nod toward patient comfort dismissed out of hand - a barely functional nightmare of operational minimalism

robert what. philosophy @robertwhat.bsky.social · 7d

Sitting on hard chairs for 6.5 hours under blaring lights the buzz of medical equipment & the sound of people's mobile phone games after three days of no sleep is a sweaty purgatory of unceasing misery and unnecessary suffering. There were even homeless people in there trying to get out of the cold

robert what. philosophy @robertwhat.bsky.social · 7d

Spent 6.5 hours in Accident & Emergency w/ bad RSI injury. A&E is it's own kind of hell. Never seen a more sorry bunch of working class people in pain. One women I talked to had been there since 12pm *yesterday* and I was there around 4AM! A national f'ing disgrace. Talk about a two tier society
