In the last couple of years, Peru's government started labeling foods with high amounts of sugar, sodium, or fats with these black warning octagons. That's normally fine but it has also created this bizarre chase for foods to advertise themselves as "not having octagons" (e.g. the second photo)

look we're all making a big bet on AI! and if it pays off as big as we hope, well, it's going to make a handful of people super rich and you're going to lose your job but get to watch mickey mouse fuck geralt from the witcher. if it doesn't pay off well then you get to pay for the bailouts

tech workers have more in common with all other workers than the billionaire class (gift link): www.nytimes.com/2025/12/26/b...

This is the most Mastodon-flavored reply I’ve seen on this website

“I have a lot more in common with someone who’s working in a whole other industry, who does something completely different than I do, than I do with the technocrat billionaires,” said Arleigh Atkinson, a software engineer at Kickstarter. @kickstarterunited.org @opeiulocal153.bsky.social

Of all the things I expected to cancel @emily.news for, I didn’t expect to cancel her for her complete callousness towards Scrappy the rooster in Arc Raiders

Got interviewed for this piece in the NYT about tech worker organizing www.nytimes.com/2025/12/26/b... (archive link: archive.is/QKFjV)

hell yeah @demarko.org is in the newspaper archive.is/QKFjV

If I haven't said it lately, I'll say it again: the Fallout TV series is incredibly well done, has Easter eggs for fans of the games but still feels like coherently its own thing, I'm really enjoying how it's extending the universe created by the games.

Hey Bluebies! (that's what we call Bluesky Newbies 'round these parts🤠) We do things a lil different then Elmos Hecksite. Each post creates a "shard". 50 shards makes a Sky Gem 💎. Gems can be spent on swag like custom hats for ur PFP...but you mustnt wear hats in the Cloud Level or a Bird may attack

It’s the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring because they were all playing Cinco Paus

I wish I had more of a watch-wearing habit because the 50th anniversary Snoopy Speedmaster is the level of whimsy I appreciate www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watche...

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

Way too many blue wave liberals on here sharing AI images making fun of Trump or whatever. Please stop.

The single youth trend I dislike the most is intentional minor misspelling!!!! I don't mind when someone does like an intentional goofemup for comedy but like "doctering" as a misspelling feels like someone only ever heard the word and never read i- oh…

My professional artists peers! We got a survey request! Researchers at the University of Carnegie Mellon is doing a research to see how generative Al has (or has not) impacted your work and/or sentiments in the industry. Folks in creative fields only, please consider filling this out 👇

ModRetro making a handheld pointedly advertised as made from "attack drone metal." "When someone tells you who and what they are, believe them." If you cover this you are complicit. This is an intentional attempt to more normalise, but make "cool" tools of genocide. I am beyond disgusted.

thanks to my union, I: -met countless friends -got gender affirming surgery -learned how to negotiate -got annual salary raises when my company otherwise wouldn’t -kept my life together after losing my job unions rock, start one today

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..." Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

Oh hell yeah, bodega song youtu.be/GLfpu2Vtz-s

Keep going. Be meaner. Aim whatever lizard-brain impulse you have towards cruelty and violence in this direction.

This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default. And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit

Amigos hispanohablantes, ¿qué significa algo que he visto en las redes que “en México no existe desfunada”?

Wow, big surprise. A bot account that DM’d me about commissions and had unsurprisingly slop-like art no longer exists

this is boss speak for every single person working under me hates this decision and has personally warned me not to do it multiple times

[extremely boss voice] everyone at the company is more or less ok with this

Well shit, the Nazi won the presidential election in Chile

Of all the things for there not to be a simultaneous collab for, you’re telling me Skims didn’t launch a Skims x Fortnite collab so you could shop Kim’s look right away? Kind of a shocker

Zootopia 2 is the highest grossing Hollywood movie of the year & Kpop Demon Hunters was Netflix's most popular movie of all time, but fuck animators, am I right? I hate reading about how huge & beloved this stuff is while knowing how hard creators have it & how it still isn't broadly taken seriously

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Rolled credits on Flotsam, fun little settlement builder. My only suggestion is that if you see wheat, stop and make sure you pick it up

98% SAID YES! Congrats to @kickstarterunited.org

Ah this is great news. I’m not sure we’d have Zohran in the mayor’s office without Lander in the coalition. Having him in Congress would be a win

Again, apologizing to all videogame environment artists who knocked up satirical posters for their games, I should not have rolled my eyes, yes, even you Cyberpunk billboard team, I am sorry

After returning from our historic strike and getting our bearings back at work again, our bargaining unit voted to ratify our second contract on December 5th, 2025

The Airbus 320 Neo is a terrible plane, if the A320 Neo has no haters, I’m dead

How many copies of your book has to sell to make you royalties? How much does your book that you started in 2020 cost to print now? How many royalties pay the rent? If ours is a full time job, pay us like it so we can save for retirement! Or at least pay our bills.

My hot comic take is all wfh comic shit should be paid a salary, every other week, like everyone else at the publishing company. I’m tired of hearing about our colleagues crowdfunding funerals and healthcare.

pals you gotta quit spotify

killing “get that bag” requires killing a social media culture that venerates aspirational and individual consumption while rebuilding a civil society that provides base levels of economic and social bonds with a soft pressure of shame and shared morals which would be nice, but (gestures broadly)
