More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
Nearly 190,000 home health workers in New York could unionize in one of the biggest U.S. labor drives in decades. SEIU Local 1199 says they've gotten almost 70,000 signatures, enough to trigger a union vote, and now the union has petitioned the National Labor Relations Board to hold an election.

First real training in the gym since spinal-discisn't. Ton of rehab specific stuff and then some moderate upper body work while watching that I don't load or compress my back more than absolutely necessary. Gonna take some time.

Hello! I would be curious to know how Bungie workers feel about today’s pivot and how the studio is being managed in general. If you’re a company employee with views on the matter, please do get in touch. Happy to chat confidentially. DMs open. Signal: kerrblimey.43

Ufff, it is not my first time having a slipped spinal disc but the last times have been forever ago and I do have forgotten just how incredibly annoying it is. The pain is one thing and on the best of noninjured days I am not at a 0 anyhow but just the lack of mobility gnaws on my nerves.

The corporation won't protect you. The corporation won't respect you. The corporation won't care for you. This is betrayal on such an unfathomable scale that I hope if anything, it can serve as a way for all of us to agree there is never a good reason to protect the corporation over your colleagues.

Last year, Rockstar was accused of firing over 30 workers for engaging in trade union activity. The studio said they were let go for leaking confidential information. The tribunal between the two parties begins today. I'll be attending and will do my best to provide updates over the coming weeks.

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is extremely satisfyingly adventurous. What a good time and what a cool monster concept. Now I want more action adventure games that take a classic videogame puzzle trope (in this case "guide a beam of light with mirrors") and really go fully maximalist on it.

On the stairs of the cologne convention center south exit looking towards the cologne cathedral which stands as a dark silhouette against the sky still glimmwring from the setting sun. People are sitting on the stairs. Also in the distance you can see tall lamps, a skyscraper and the station.

A not-insubstantial part of why the games industry has *remained* in crisis mode since ~2023 is that all the investment has been siphoned off into chips and data centers that have almost zero chance of making back their money. But that doesn't matter, since someone still gets paid.
