when it comes to the idea of "democratizing art" the thing that will actually do this tenfold is giving everybody more free time and not having to work to survive

The idea that a company could claim every idea you have as their own just because you're their employee is ludicrous and frankly bad practice! Workers hold back their best ideas because they're afraid the company will prevent them from working on it. It's lose lose!

Since the announcement of our union, Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have hired Fisher Phillips (a union avoidance firm), and chosen to engage in a daily union-avoidance campaign by sending emails to the Arena team that is spreading misinformation and sowing fear among our colleagues.

Every year or so the CIA comes out and says “yeh, we did that thing that local people thought we did at the time” and a bunch of Liberals say “wow, good thing the CIA doesn’t do that anymore” until 50 years later when the CIA admits they’re still doing it, then the cycle repeats.
