Panel 2: another bedbug excitedly bursts through the front door and exclaims, “someone invented beds!” Panel 3: one of the bedbugs looks over their shoulder at the other and says, “you’re joking”

Its worth keeping in mind that the reason FDR implemented so many social welfare policies was to preempt and defuse leftist parties The US then spent close to a century brutally beating and assassinating anyone who threatened to create a strong united Left.

ZA/UM - A communique full of nothing The studio says it is discussing with union representatives while at the same time abruptly letting go of its international employees. solidairesinformatique.org/2026/09/17/z...
ZA/UM, the game studio known for developing and publishing Disco Elysium, has recently announced the layoff of 30 workers due to poor sales of their latest release, Zero Parades.

The studio insists that they have worked with union representatives, but what their press release forgets to mention, is that this consultation only covers UK-based employees, which is about a third of the 32 people expected to be laid off. The remainder, working in other countries, have simply had their contract terminated without a word.

Our union denounces the motives used to explain this new wave of layoffs, the second one since 2024, that only tries to hide the poor internal management of the studio.

How can a lack of sales be the only justification, when the game has not even been released on all of the announced platforms ?

ZA/UM has canceled 3 projects between 2024 and 2025, in particular X7 which already lead to the layoff of a quarter of the team in February 2024. Zero Parades was already in development back then, with at least 50 employees in the studio. Even with conservative estimates about the average salary and the company payroll, Zero Parades’ budget could be well above 20 million euros, that’s a pretty hefty amount !The studio had already garnered a lot criticism regarding its internal management when X7’s cancellation was announced, and it’s important to call it out again today. Zero Parades’ development has also been described  as chaotic and toxic. Developers have encountered many unnecessary delays and setbacks due to a lack of creative direction, unsuitable work organization and arbitrary decisions from the management. Today, the employees are once again the ones to suffer those decisions : the studio still refuses to acknowledge its faults, continues to defend the management layer and their decisions that made it impossible for Zero Parades to ever be profitable, and decides to kick many comrades to the curb, without whom the game would never have been released in the first place.

We denounce this hypocritical posturing from a studio who has built itself a pro-worker image through its games. We demand an end to the layoffs until the authors of the studio’s financial crisis have faced their responsabilities.

WE MUST UNITE INTERNATIONALLY

AGAINST THE INEPTITUDE OF THE MANAGEMENT!

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a man is standing in front of an older gentleman walking his dog in the park. The man, making a friendly gesture towards the little white dog, asks, “does he bite?” The older man replies, “no.” Panel 2: the little dog grabs the first man’s hand with his paw and gives the back of his hand a sensual smooch. Panel 3: the man pulls his hand back in disgust.

You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. We must dare to invent the future.

🚨URGENT: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s life is in immediate danger, Physicians for Human Rights Israel and his lawyer warned Saturday, after a prison visit revealed the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital bearing fresh, severe injuries to his head, eyes, ears, and neck, so disfigured his own attorney initially struggled to recognize him.

🔹Attorney Nasser Odeh, who saw Abu Safiya Thursday at the underground Rakefet interrogation facility in Nitzan Prison, said he arrived shackled hand and foot, escorted by masked guards, struggling to breathe and speak, unable to sit upright, and repeatedly on the verge of losing consciousness. 

🔹Abu Safiya told him that after his Supreme Court appeal was heard June 10, four or five guards entered his solitary cell at Ganot Prison and beat him with a hammer and batons, and that since his June 24 transfer to Rakefet he has been beaten daily, losing consciousness several times without receiving medical treatment.

🔹“This is the last time you will see me,” he told his lawyer. “They brought me here to kill me. I don’t see myself surviving. This is the end.”

🔹PHRI notes the escalation in torture began directly after Abu Safiya challenged his detention in court. He has been held without charge since December 27, 2024, under Israel’s Unlawful Combatants Law. 

🔹The group has appealed to Israel’s attorney general and prison service demanding his immediate transfer, an independent medical examination, and an urgent judicial visit “before it is too late.”
