Rockstar: tries to bust unions🦹‍♀️ Us: Hold my controller 🎮🔥🔥 We're fighting back 💥💥 IWGB organized a protest in front of the @rockstargames.com parent company Take-Two Interactive in London today We'll make sure the credits are rolling on their corporate greed ❌️ @gameworkers.co.uk

When you think of unions, you might think about guys in hard hats. But, unions are for every single worker. Baristas, Apple store employees, professional spreadsheet makers, and games workers all need unions!

Hell yeah, pay parity for NI nurses! www.rcn.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Happy UK @cheekface.bsky.social day. The green juice is free now.

BREAKING 🚨: Rosebank's owner Equinor is joining forces with Shell on a new North Sea venture ‘Adura’ that could see Shell dodge £1.3 billion in UK tax. While families struggle to heat their homes, polluters keep cashing in.

The Trump emails keep getting weirder. I know that they're just using AI to churn these things out, but you'd think someone would keep an eye on them.

If you're suffering from I-hate-my-boss-itis, the best medicine is organising a union.

I got up so early to watch Mamdani win that I now have to eat a second breakfast. That's what socialism is all about.

A good word about being politicians running on principles and not following simulacra publics! jacobin.com/2025/11/mamd...

OK, inspired by @banditelli.org I wanted to post at least something crow. 🪶 Here they are engaging in mass vandalism just for the fun of it. OK actually they're digging out beetle larvae that harm the lawn—you can see one in the iphone photo below—but it's pretty funny to see the mess they make.

#OtD 4 Nov 1811 Luddites attacked machinery in Bulwell, England. While 'Luddite' is used today to mock those who don't like/know how to use technology, the Luddites didn't oppose technology as such, but how capitalists used it to make them unemployed stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1046...

The Student Christian Movement in Canada and the US is collecting funds for our friends in Cuba affected by the hurricane. Please give and share!

I saw a TikTok of someone doing a live react to watching the rocky horror picture show for the first time. It’s wild that we’ve arrived at the simulacra of showing your friend a movie.

It’s All Souls’ Day! Down in the Capuchin crypt in Rome, brothers will gather today to pray for the souls of those that went before them. All of these bones are now, what we will one day be.

'Donations are welcome, but this is not a matter of charity. Meaningful conversations need to be had as to how Caribbean nations came to be and what they are owed.'

Look, I’m not Catholic and prob never will be, but with Pope Francis and now Leo there is an important moral clarity that is really powerful!

A morning roll cannot be beaten. The best breakfast.

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. Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Ive just had trick or treaters at my door. I am overflowing with Halloween spirit, but trick or treating at 4:30pm should be illegal.

A quick reminder that you can pre-order Enough Is Enough, the book I co-authored with @mattbernico.bsky.social on capitalism, degrowth, and liberation theology. It's out May 12, but it's not too early to pick up a copy, and/or ask your local library to get one! www.fortresspress.com/store/produc...

Early in my career, my life was completely turned upside down by a really exploitative employer. It has been very cathartic to get into union stuff and help my coworkers!

Maybe the MP who represents Clacton could try doing something to turn around the deprivation.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

My son is getting old enough to hang at home by himself for short periods. Under no circumstances can he handle a mobile phone, so we got a hamburger phone.

In @yougov.co.uk polling of the trans community, to the best of our knowledge the first of its kind ever conducted, an astonishing 84% said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people. goodlaw.social/ncfw

Good for the Greens! But, it's wild that a party can be the majority government with 27% of the vote, though. That seems bad.

The sec general of the UN, António Guterres, says we'll inevitably overshoot 1.5C. Governments of the world wrongly think that we can endure more warming and then bring temps back down with carbon capture and other magic technologies. Bonkers stuff that will get people killed!

British Library staff are out on strike from Monday 27 October until Sunday 9 November over pay: please do not undermine their action by attending this exhibition (or any other events at the BL) during that time. www.museumsassociation.org/museums-jour...

Bro, you can't just give out the answers! They're going to steal them!

I've been too busy to make a proper post about this so here's some good news.

ITALY: Historic win for unions as McDonald’s signs groundbreaking collective agreement www.iuf.org/news/italy-h...

Made it to the top. It’s -10 up here. Time to go home.

I’m up before the dang sun to climb some hills. Lfg

Jessica Reznicek, who was arrested for vandalizing the Dakota Access Pipeline, is out of prison and is serving the remainder of her time under home arrest. www.radioiowa.com/2025/10/23/w...

It's really disappointing to see this. To me, it doesn't make sense to defect a party yet to be established, with no platform and with MPs who have made transphobic statements. Best of luck to them though! Maybe something very positive will come of this.

NEW: This Friday, our union is launching a strike authorization vote. Thousands of workers across the country are ready to finish our contracts. It's time for Starbucks to get serious and return to the bargaining table!

No thanks. The world does not need pervert glasses. We're good without this.

I am once again saying that using the term "faithful Catholic" to mean conservative Catholics is lazy and bad journalism. You can be a faithful Catholic without right-wing beliefs.

Cheekface was right, a giant pretzel would make me feel better.

BREAKING NEWS: the cause of labour is the hope of the world

I’ve been winning so far, but I didn’t even know there were rules for it.

If I had any talent I would write a play about the hostile environment and have every character in it who is on a visa wearing a label with how much £ they'd paid so far. Very on the nose I know but there seems to be no other way to get people to understand

The right to stay is already not automatic! People who immigrate here have to pay a considerable amount just to apply for a visa!

Imagine the psychoanalytic problems that could be solved if we called priests “Unc” instead of “father.”

Marvelous that this is in the world! Looking forward to reading it @deandettloff.bsky.social and @mattbernico.bsky.social www.fortresspress.com/store/produc...

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god
