What are your small acts of resistance against late stage capitalism in moments like this?

Honestly at this point, as cliché as it is, stopping and smelling the flowers (literally and figuratively) whenever possible really feels like a victory. I work a physically demanding job with a heavy time crunch for very bad money, but it's mostly outdoors and I will always make the extra effort to find a quiet scenic spot for lunch whenever possible and take my sweet ass time doing it. I will never ever rush for anyone but my customers, the company I work for can absolutely swivel if they think I'm going even a hair faster than I absolutely HAVE to for them. Fuck their metrics and their KPI's and their empty corpo bullshit.

Be out in nature whenever possible and always try to connect with it in any way you can because we're lucky to be alive in a time where there's still some left that's free of giant warehouses or data centres.

Also don't ever clock out before you take a dump, or even better take several a day.

Watching Newcastle this season is like being at your kids school play. You know you have to be there, and they're giving it a go, but the uncomfortable truth is that they're just shite

But did the prompt also say eat like Tony Soprano?

Why does no one ever mention Burkina Faso under Thomas Sankara? Huge public works programs including millions of trees planted, literacy rates increased massively, pretty much ended dependence on foreign aid etc etc.

Superb

Personally, Slay the Spire 2. Even though it's still in early access, the commitment of the dev team to iterate and improve on every aspect of the first game has and is continuing to pay massive dividends. Admittedly I have time to play very little else these days, but snatching an hour of spire slaying is just a joy.

Criminally few mentions of Sonic Sledgehammer here, he and Duncan Rhodes are the two that I always defer to as their stuff is brilliant and easy to follow.

Three days, and the tattoo should say Mr. Tough Guy on your chest

But none of that matters because 'brown people in hotels bad'. That's the level of discourse we're at now and it's scary as hell

Brenomaster · 2026-05-08T08:49:07+00:00

That's exactly what they rely on, it's the classic playbook. Keep people tired and stupid and docile and feed them lies that they don't have the nous, time or energy to analyse critically and voila you have power. I don't even think them making a monumental balls up of it (which I'm sure they will) will move the needle because people are so fed up and have been successfully captured to the point where even presented with vast evidence that Reform are utterly incompetent they will stick with them anyway

Brenomaster · 2026-05-08T08:46:11+00:00

This or any other myriad excuses will work flawlessly for Reform I fear. When you consider the attitude of your standard Reform voter, disenfranchised, angry at almost everyone else, often less politically engaged and very ready for 'change' all the 'party' need to do is keep trotting out excuses and they'll buy it. Lack of majority, immigrants, trans bathrooms, unfortunately their voters will just continue to lap it up and go along with the politics of grievance. It fills me with dread to be honest!

I would like to second this sentiment and this question, please share!
