When the newspaper editor just says “fuck it.”
“The bar for what is regarded as a “shitshow” in Britain has been raised substantially since the 2016 referendum”

Here’s the story of someone who accidentally started a union. Pulled this off of FB, original source at https://www.askamanager.org/2024/03/the-fake-union-organizer-the-lemon-zest-and-other-machiavellian-triumphs-at-work.html In answer to the question, “Machiavellian things you’ve seen or done at work?” Cc @jwehrle I don’t usually get to play along with #Caturday, but I've been taking photos of what I call "The Gate Dogs of #Guanajuato”; the dogs that guard the gates, or perch on the roofs and terraces of the city. And sometimes a cat or two sneaks in. As always, description and context in the alt-text. Reddit’s CEO, who claimed to want to emulate Musk, is doing an absolutely smashing job. He forced some subreddits to open again, but of course he can’t force people to post what he wants. r/steam users are now only posting articles about hot water vapor.

 I took a peek this morning and saw /r/videos is in on it now too. > To that end, we will only be allowing the finest of videos to grace our subreddit’s queue ... Going forward, we will only allow videos featuring the one and only John Oliver. That’s right, Zazu himself is going to make up all of /r/Videos’ content going forward. We liked what our sister subreddit /r/Pics was doing, but in true /r/Videos fashion, we're going to do it 30 times per second instead.  I've actually boycotted Reddit for a week now... But reading about all of the fun responses to this whole thing makes me want to go back and join in. I might even join a few new fucking subs to ruin some fucking ad revenue.

@nazgul One of his problems was that he thought whatever other notion that crossed through his head was brilliant, when often it was the opposite. This sometimes led to big failures.

@nazgul + request data deletion via GDPR compliance (sorry missing the link aa being on my phone) @nazgul Bookmarked. I have found a lot of people on mastodon, but there are still a lot missing.  @nazgul I don't think I agree. Even if the people are complicit in the lies, that's a cultural vector that can be impacted by changing the culture. I mean, I'm not sure what other alternative there is, but the fact that these things come and go in waves shows that it's not a constant and can be affected by the surrounding culture. The problem is that changing culture through education takes a generation, at best. You need short term mitigations, too. |
@nazgul we really ought to create some kind of union in Europe, which would allow free movement across borders for all European citizens, so we could get rid of all this nonsense.
I envision it could work as a trade union too, and handle cross border issues like climate change and consumer rights.
I know it sounds revolutionary, but I really think it could work.

@nazgul I went to London City the day after that referendum and was there for a week. It was like watching a nation implode. Every morning it was new chaos.
