Ok so **spoilers for Reacher S4** but a pivotal scene involves the classic “tech hacker character asked to enhance something” and he does it using… a prompt. Unhinged shit.

a banger from @meganas.bsky.social (who would have been a great city council member) on the state of political discourse in our little town
You can spend the rest of your life wondering if the person who sends ominous, but somehow mostly legal, comments on Instagram is brave enough not just to wear their Kangol hat backward like a pale imitation of Samuel L. Jackson but also to ride their scooter up the little hill to where you live. You can spend the rest of your life wondering if there’s another person, a quieter, more brazen person you don’t even know about, watching your neighbors make you a villain and your family an acceptable target for violence. Or you can choose to hit a metaphorical ctrl+z, return to your wonderful life as an active, interested citizen, and let every supporter’s disappointed text pierce you like a (thankfully metaphorical) knife to the heart.

A statement from our union president on the amazing turnout of support for the Game Industry Hardship Fund itch.io bundle 🙏 👇 The bundle is live for 10 more days to support devs in need, but a long-term difference can be made by joining UVW-CWA directly. ✊ uvw-cwa.org itch.io/b/3802/game-...
A message from United Videogame Workers, a Code-CWA Union, part 1: A statement from Aurelia Augusta - President, UVW-CWA Local 9433:
 
The response to the Hardship Fund has been so awe-inspiring and so great that it's honestly made it difficult to write a statement because every time I look away, the total amount raised by the itch bundle leaps forward yet again and I find a few more tears of joy on my face. A message from United Videogame Workers, a Code-CWA Union, part 2: As I'm writing this, we've just passed $97,000 that will go directly into the pockets of struggling game workers, raised at a truly incredible speed, in addition to the $25K already dispersed by UVW-CWA.

I want to start with a massive thanks to players who have bought the bundle, signal-boosted it, or otherwise supported this effort. A message from United Videogame Workers, a Code-CWA Union, part 3: To our allies in the labour movement who have supported this effort, everyone in UVW-CWA continues to be awed by and thankful for your solidarity and ever proud to be standing up to fight for workers alongside you.

And to all game workers, I want to highlight that this is just small example of what's possible when we stand together as workers. Together in solidarity, we can make sure that this is far from just a one-off reprieve.
 A message from United Videogame Workers, a Code-CWA Union, part 4: We can make an industry where workers don't have to choose between fighting for their rights and paying their bills. 

It will take time, it will take winning the many fights to come, but I adamantly believe that one day we can make an industry and a world where we won't need a hardship fund.

Join us today in that fight at uvw-cwa.org.

In Solidarity,
Aurelia Augusta - President, 
UVW-CWA Local 9433
