Rockstar is currently embroiled in a legal battle after firing 34 staff, most of whom were involved in unionization efforts. When I asked Rockstar head of publishing Jennifer Kolbe about voluntary recognition, she said: "We go where the team goes. So if they want a union, they will have a union.”

Have I got this right: he’s angry that she didn’t swear an oath on the book that he obviously hasn’t comprehended? I love these “patriotic Christian” types who don’t try to understand the links between Abrahamic religions.

They will, of course, be passing in full those savings in art production costs to the customer, right? Right? 🤔

I’m sure this will land well when potential customers see the significantly lower launch price of the game. Just think of the art development savings that the publisher will be passing on to the consumer. /s

If one isn’t a bot and not paid to behave like a bot, but does so voluntarily, doesn’t that make us the very definition of a useful idiot? 🤔😉

Putin still governs because his handlers haven’t yet decided to escort him from the building. He has power because it’s still given to him: in a different method, Trump will find how this feels after the midterms.

“Non-wholemeal wheat flour will be fortified with 0.25 milligrams of folic acid per 100 grams of flour.” So 250mcg per 100g of flour: well within the RDA or the equivalent of a cup of spinach, apparently. www.ukflourmillers.org/knowledge-hu...

100% agree. The premise behind the first question of his brain-fart speaks more volumes than the rest tbh. If his wife had yelled instead, “Come out of the garage you two: it’s Baby’s bedtime”, at least he’d have demonstrated a basic understanding of parenting. What a 🛎️🔚

There’ll be the shadow of a Tory donor near the begging bowl, I don’t doubt. Meanwhile, Ukraine offers reciprocal tech contributions at a fraction of the US’ (now untrustworthy) offerings.

It’s an interesting way to delegitimise the proles’ rights to own their property by categorising everyone as “not English” or “not British”. Turning Point be like:

Some Zia-Yusuf levels of self-awareness going on right there. English, Scottish and British are nationalities, not colours. You’d think a party that prides itself on nationalism might grasp that, at least partially. 🤷‍♂️

I love (not really) when rags quote the term, “wealth-creating entrepreneurs” without any shade of irony. Do they conjure it out of thin air? Or perhaps they employ staff who do the actual work: the ones to whom they’re giving a cheery wave.

I’d think it would be great if the Epstein files were released in their entirety, with only the actual victims’ names redacted. I suspect he has less appetite for that, though.
