A new report from @chrisbratt.bsky.social suggests the firing of over 30 workers from Rockstar Games was related to UK statutory recognition laws.

Almost 10% of Rockstar’s UK workforce was close to being recruited to a new union, which is one of the thresholds for enforced employer recognition.
Rockstar Games Accused of Firing Union Employees to Avoid Statutory Recognition
Former Rockstar employees told People Make Games the union was “very close” to statutory recognition, which would have forced recognition.

No matter how bad you imagine smallpox was, it was worse than that.
Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox.

“In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.

We’re not teetering on the edge we’ve walked through the gate. When a president claims the power to arrest anyone and disappear them into foreign prisons, unchecked by courts, that’s not a policy dispute. That’s fascism with a press secretary.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"

Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.
