Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

Not to be all Fontaines about it, but as a colonised people, those of us who slag off aspects of our own culture like the Irish language or wearing zogabongs - you'd want to have a word with yourselves

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Hello it's me the leader of the party full of landlords that has been in power your whole adult life and created the housing crisis we now refuse to resolve.
I'm here to tell you it's actually the foreigners' fault.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

One thing to keep in mind...
One of the fastest pipelines to a financially successful grift for the right is left baiting. A no name asshat succeeds in getting lefties screaming about their content, and they start getting better offers and placement in the right's ecosystem.
Don't fall for it.

Why in 2025 does Ireland/Dublin still not have functional 24 hour train system to get you from the airport to your onward destination?
I hate coming back here after being away somewhere where public transport is actually reliable and functional

We've had Hereditary, Get Out, Sinners and Weapons so it frustrates me that horror films are still seen as "less than" & must be seen as "more than just". Having seen Frankenstein (which I really enjoyed) it's a fucking horror film and there's nothing wrong with that

Don’t Call Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ a Horror Movie
Everyone involved sees it as much more than that.

Worry about who you are, and who you want to be, not what you think you're "supposed" to be. Indulge hobbies, and don't stop being curious. Whether it's writing, gardening, woodworking, whatever. You do not know what lessons those will teach you that may be far more important than you realize.
Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

One of the things that has always been true, but doesn’t get addressed until you start to get pretty nerdy in talking about horror, is that it’s actually many different audiences, pushed together under the umbrella of horror. That variation, is good for the genre and audiences.
Horror doesn't have to be about violence and gore, and there's nothing wrong with preferring ghost stories or weird, eerie stuff. I have very good reasons for avoiding violent stories when I feel like I can't handle them. I still love horror.
