I am so, *so* fucking proud of the work folks have done to unionize at Heart Machine. 🖤
UVW-CWA members are forming unions at their own studios to make better games and to build a better industry.
Solidarity to the Heart Machine devs - if you’re interested in organizing, this is your sign! Reach out to us either in our DMs or at GDC this week 💪

Iran calls the United States the Great Satan, but would the Great Satan turn the day into night, create rivers of fire and poison the rain?
I'll be at GDC on a panel with a bunch of amazing worker organizers talking about how union campaigns are changing the industry for the better. If you'd like to learn more about workplace organizing come check out the talk on Wed. March 11 from 3:40-4:40pm!

If people consistently act in ways that are selfish, deluded, irresponsible, and harmful to the people around them, its because our entire economic system validates and rewards that behaviour. It’s not human nature, it’s something that can be changed. A more mature human society is possible.
This problem isn’t unique to Trump. Capitalism has created an entire class of overpowered emotional babies who are completely shielded from the consequences of their actions.
even if the Hague still functioned, even if Nuremberg had gone down how people believe it did, we'll still need some new kind of system to properly perform the level of reckoning that will be necessary once this has been stopped
hitting the same target twice is for killing emergency responders, and for making people afraid to help those who have been injured or maimed in a previous strike
the US did this to a schoolhouse
I'm out of words here

Iranian hackers threatening to hack into the top 3 credit bureaus and wiping Americans debt… and I just wanna know who I gotta speak to in order to expedite this.
there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran

It’s Global socialism or death btw
Imperialist capitalism is a threat to human existence

I know I said months but at the rate things are going it could be weeks... This war really feels like the desperate flailing of a dying empire. There is no coherent long-term strategy or plan, all that remains is the capitalist death drive.
The U.S. committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island. Water supply in 30 villages has been impacted. Attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences. The U.S. set this precedent, not Iran.
Attacking access to water is definitionally genocidal.
Ok I’m full of caffeine, testosterone, am not allowed to lift more than 5 lbs, and have nowhere to be! So let’s do a thread: for each like, a thing I remember fondly from growing up in the USSR. (It is weird to be an immigrant from a place that no longer exists—double remove of sorts).
READ: Israel developed a doctrine of total societal destruction that is used in Gaza — and is now deploying it in Lebanon and Iran with full US backing.
This is one of the most important things you'll read today: mondoweiss.net/2026/03/isra...
This is from one of the former Infinity Ward/Call of Duty co-founders:
Thousands in Minab, Iran attended the funeral for the 175 children and staff killed in Saturday’s U.S.-Israeli strike on a girls’ primary school.
At the meeting, I talk about Good Boss/Bad Boss/Sad Boss as the kind of menu of tactics the company will draw from. I said some version of a thing I have now said thousands of times in meetings and house calls: Good Boss is when they buy off or try to buy off workers, with favors and fixes or even pay raises, to quell the anger that drives the organizing, to make it seem as though workers don't need a union after all. Bad Boss is when they terrify or try to terrify workers through threats, like plant closure and rumors like "Wherever the union goes, Immigration follows," so that fear overpowers the driving anger. Sad Boss is when they play the strange game of pretending to suffer a deep, personal heartbreak as the result of workers deciding to organize, in hopes that the workers' anger will be confused or blunted by empathy for the boss.
Genuinely the best description I've ever seen about how CEOs and bosses respond when you try to form a union or improve the workplace.
From Daisy Pitkin's book - On The Line: Two Women's Epic Fight to Build a Union.

The numbers are staggering:
Rent is now unaffordable for a record *half* of U.S. renters.
Some 30 million jobs pay less than $15 an hour. The average wage needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment has climbed to $28.17 — nearly four times the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in 16 years.
yes, we know. that's why you all keep doing this.
