Netflix has 16,000 employees. If they kept half of that profit and paid the rest out equally to everyone, they could give each worker a $426,000 bonus this year and still pocket $6,825,000,000. Instead they fired 1000 people.

French Revolution-era guillotine earrings, dated around 1794. Musée Carnavalet, Paris.
The inverted heads of the king and queen of France form the pendants of these ghoulish earrings while the central guillotine section is suspended from a cap of liberty.

Anon., earrings in the form of guillotines, c.1794, gold and metal gilt

And that's even before you get into the things Pool has done that show since jump street he was never a friend of the left, nor he of him.

Pool got his start during Occupy Wall Street and thus people label him a leftist, ignoring: 1-Occupy was 15 years ago, practically ancient in modern politics 2-Occupy famously lacked real organized direction and thus attracted a crowd of "angry" rather than specific ideological drives.

The anitdote is similarly obvious: solidarity. Fight together and keep our freedom or fight alone and be enslaved. It's frustrating how many people in power seem to not understand this and say we can just sacrifice part of our coalition in order to save the rest of us. It doesn't work like that!

They started on illegal immigrants, expanded it to legal immigrants, now are going after naturalized citizens. If you are not one of those groups, you are just somewhere further down the chain, but they will get to eliminating your rights eventually too.

Infinite Warfare was the last time I gave a fuck about CoD because it was the last time they did something that sounded interested. Was it a great game? I'd say no, but I enjoyed it. Was it the seventh in it's own sub-series, or the second game called Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4? Also no!

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a little dog is sleeping on a couch, kicking its paws. A person says, “look! The little kicks!” Panel 2: in awe of the cuteness, the person continues, “what do you think he’s dreaming about?” Panel 3: in the dog’s dream, the pup is wearing a captain’s jacket, holding tightly to a wooden ship on stormy seas. In his other paw, he is gripping a harpoon as an enormous vacuum cleaner breaches violently from the water.

Sega just put out a statement that they're pulling the game and putting the original back, which is *wild*
We're aware that Total War: Shogun 2 - Complete Edition has fallen short of both your expectations and our own standards.  We've seen your feedback, comments, and reviews. We agree that the current experience is not where it needs fo be. 

As a result we are working with platform holders to temporarily remove the game from sale and reinstate the original game while we investigate the issues. Existing owners will still be able to access and play the game. 

We are working closely with our development partner to identify the causes of these problems, deliver improvements, and ensure Shogun 2 - Complete Esition meets the quality standards players expect from Total War

Folks were obsessed with this story because once again it hit the liberal ideal of politics: this isn’t our fault, our friends and neighbors aren’t actually Nazis with an ideology we have to consciously address, it’s just a building and if we blow it up we won Politics: the Video Game

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox
Regarding Xbox

In June 2026 we announced that the release of Big Walk would be limited to computers, Switch 2 and PS5. Since then, we have received many messages and comments, asking about a future Xbox release. We would like to address those questions here:

We have made the decision not to release Big Walk on Xbox, in accordance with the Palestinian-led BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement’s call to boycott Microsoft, and their designation of Microsoft Games (and Xbox) as a priority boycott target. If you need help understanding our motives, we would recommend reading about why Microsoft is a BDS priority target, the successes this kind of pressure has already had on Microsoft, and especially, watching this great introductory piece by People Make Games.

It has always been our intention for Big Walk to be played by groups of friends, and we know that keeping the game off Xbox runs counter to those intentions. This decision means that some people will miss out on playing Big Walk with their friends, and we understand the disappointment we’re causing. We are disappointed too.

We would love for people to be able to play the game on Xbox, but not until Microsoft and/or Xbox have been removed as BDS boycott targets.

We’ve made this decision with the belief that meaningful change can be made in the world, that coordinated collective action can confront even the most powerful interests, and that one day, Palestine will be free.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
House House

Pro tip, just for your own daily life, pal: If someone waves a loaded gun in your face threatening to shoot you, don't assume you're good because they've only killed *a few* people before instead of everyone they've ever met.

let's assume this is true (it is not, "they can suffer" is a dubious and load-bearing claim, for ex.) the only rational, moral conclusion to come to from the premise "we have created conscious machines" is immediately cease using them for any task in service of humans which would render them inert

Generally speaking in 2026 most political reporters tend to come from stable backgrounds; they may not necessarily be rich/nepo babies, but they had the ability to go to college in an industry with dogshit starting rates and survive. Your odds are pretty good that they're good with their dads.

Six days after ICE shot him in the Bronx, Oscar Belgal remains in MDC Brooklyn, and still hasn’t gotten surgery to remove the bullet in his neck. “He has experienced a loss of sensation in half of his face, as well as hearing loss in his left ear.” Gift link: www.nydailynews.com/2026/10/14/l...

ICE never identified themselves during NYC shooting of Oscar Belgal, who still has bullet in neck: lawyers
The Legal Aid Society, which now represents the 28-year-old father, filed a habeas corpus petition in Brooklyn Federal Court Wednesday, seeking his “immediate release on reasonable conditions.”

After FDR, republicans didn't regain the house again until like, the bush years. "moderate" dems are committed to making sure that republicans are never sidelined like that again, because all of their donations bank on them being the 'swing' vote.

Some people refuse to understand that part of the calculus behind solidarity and intercausality is the brutal, practical math of "if They're willing to sell out You, They're willing to sell out Me". They love to cite The Poem and refuse to understand why it played out that way.
