Crazy how much the conditions leading up to the french revolution mirror our situation
-leader of state believes whatever the last person he talked to said
-conservative political leaders have convinced the lower classes they defend their rights and freedoms but are really just in it for themselves

Sony is gonna release a PS6 in 2027 or 2028 but we'll still be getting PS5 games until like 2035
a large plurality if not outright majority of games still release on PS4
Call of Duty is -still coming out- on PS4 this year. They only did crossgen for 7th gen consoles till 2015

Moderate Democrats saw that voters were energized and might expect something from them, so they needed to put a stop to that ASAP

I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.

I have been following national Congressional politics since I was a teenager in Obama I. This is how it always works. Regardless of their actual seat totals, The Democrats "somehow" always have just enough moderates (not too many or too little) that they concede to the GOP on every major issue.

You know, really not loving this "in order to be in good faith as an anarchist you have to work with the government and not critique Mamdani" thing I'm seeing right now!

This is actually the original definition of emotional labor, as defined by Arlie Hochschild, the sociologist who coined the term. It refers to the labor of performing emotions in order to do your job. It is not enough to just do your job, you have to put on a performance
There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information"
They want people to assume this means game info or assets.
But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to:
'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

"Rockstar, Rockstar, you're disgusting, we charge you with union busting," the protesters declared.
'All you had to do was follow the damn law, Rockstar!': Workers are protesting outside Take-Two after GTA 6 dev's alleged 'brazen' union-busting
"They can get used to seeing us on their doorstep."

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Wigglers on the Tall Trunk Galaxy slide are special slide-only Wigglers that literally cannot exist outside of it. If one of them is allowed to make it all the way up the slide, he will lose his head and become a singularity.
