Just so this is in as many places as possible. Below, a quote from Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted child molester, re: Trump. When Satan himself is saying "Woh, dude, tone it down", you know America is in trouble.

That there are people defending the $230 iPhone Sock when there are American families (the richest nation on Earth!) who can't afford to eat is surely a sign that this is the End of Days.

Disappointed to find that #Bloodstock uses an AI generated image as its avatar on YouTube. Do they not have thousands of photographs of real guitarists they could use? Too lazy to even double check the number of fingers.

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.
Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

Wasn’t going to buy GTA VI anyway -the series hasn’t been fun since it went 3D (imho don’t @ me)- but now I’ll be hiding the boxes behind other games.
As a UK employment solicitor all I will say is that I don't think I've ever encountered dozens of people committing gross misconduct at the same time. Remarkable. Especially if they happened to be unionising at the time, by coincidence. Always something new in this field!
BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.
