  1. One of the key reasons I am so anti-employment these days is because I have had to deal with a number of life changing tragedies while employed where they treated me as less than human.

    The sudden death of my mother.

    The sudden collapse of my father.

    Emergency health issues with my wife and son.

    Each time, the folks in charge basically said, "Oh, so sad. Take a week, sort your shit out, then let's never speak of this again."

    In industry, money always trumps humanity.

    Utter madness.

    #generalstrike When???

  18. I realized a few months ago that in large part, the AI wars are over and Google has won. There's room for a competitor, but they want at least one competitor around, the same way Microsoft wanted Apple in the 1990s.

    Axios, catching up to where the rest of us were >= 10 years ago (2016, when Axios was founded). I mean, what year did you become fully aware that Google had left "Don't be evil." behind? axios.com/2026/05/23/google-se #Google #degoogle #tech #AI #LLM #resistance #labor #generalstrike

    Hope is not a plan. We need a backup plan. We need to formulate two, three, many backup plans. Fortunately for us today, anarchists came up with the best backup plan ever, over a century ago: #GeneralStrike

    "If the workers are organized, all they have to do is to put their hands in their pockets and they have got the capitalist class whipped." -- Big Bill Haywood

    That's your problem right there. Stop voting for Democrats. They've been stabbing the working people of America in the back for over 40 years now.

    It's time to wake up. Voting is not going to change anything.

    A general strike will.

  25. I encourage all Facebook / Meta employees - whether you're being laid off or not - to completely sabotage the company on your way out.

    Burn it (metaphorically) to the fucking ground.

    Same for all the other tech folks losing their jobs at their respective companies.

    Damn the consequences - MAKE THE PERVERTS PAY FOR THEIR PERVERSION!!!!

  26. “Italy’s Antiwar Strike Movement Expands: Workers Demand Break With Israel and NATO”

    “Thousands of workers across Italy joined a new general strike on 18 May, demanding complete severance of ties with Israel, an end to armament policies, and protection for the new civilian flotilla to Gaza—which was attacked again by Israeli forces on the very day of the strike. ‘We launched today’s general strike with the same strength and spirit as on September 22, 2025: ‘Let’s block everything’ has been and remains the watchword in our struggle against war, against complicity with the genocidal state of Israel, and against rearmament,” the grassroots trade union Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) wrote’”

  38. CW: Mental Health Crisis

    It feels tacky to tack the #GeneralStrike tag to this...

    But this is a consequence of all the shit happening.

    And it's not just happening to my family.

    And the perverts love it - because they figured out how to profit from it.

    Pharmaceuticals and health insurance and private ambulance services, and degrading community support and cohesion...

    All so these raping, murderous, pedophilic perverts - and their vile bootlickers - can gain more power, influence and money.

  39. CW: Mental Health Crisis

    And I know I'm not "alone" in the sense that so, so, ***SOOOOO*** many people are experiencing some version of this - more than has ever happened in my 51 years of experience.

    And I can;t help but let it rile me up, because all of it is unnecessary.

    We let selfish perverted idiots dictate every aspect of our lives.

    It;s high fucking time we throw these brainless fucks off the island.

    Not with violence.

    But by refusing to participate.
