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

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

If you were at TwitchCon and experienced or witnessed harassment, especially from IRL streamers, I'd like to speak with you for a story.

Please signal boost.

Am I gonna buy Olympics merch?
We're going for the gold.

We're excited to announce our upcoming "Olympic Rings" licensing collaboration with the International Olympic Committee celebrating the Olympic Brand and Sonic the Hedgehog!

Stay tuned for more info in 2026!

As always fuck this guy.
Trump: "Portland, Oregon, where it looks like a war zone. I get a call from the liberal governor, 'Sir, please don't come in, we don't need you.' I said, unless they're playing false tapes, this looks like World War 2."

I’ve only said that I’d do it for a couple years now. Well I finally did it. The first of hopefully many

At the risk of getting blacklisted: anyone else feel like the vibes at GDC are going to be incredibly off this year? Disastrous industry conditions from corporate greed aside, we need to make GDC more accessible to ALL gamedevs, not imply that it's no longer a professional conference. I'm confused.
We're changing the game.

Industry: hey GDC, we need you to move out of San Francisco and the US at large because it's unsafe, deal with the still-too-common harassment issues, stop charging egregious for-profit fees, and for you to provide proper compensation for speakers

GDC: we hear you but best we can do is rename it

So many cowards and cynics on display right now. When the pendulum does swing back--and it will--don't forget where these sad and pathetic people stood in the hour of democracy's greatest need.
