🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:

BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting.
What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. 
Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it.
Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. 
This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. 
No Contract? No Coffee.

I am not here to debate the accuracy of this statement, merely to say that in Crank 2: High Voltage they got Jason Statham to wear a big rubber Jason Statham mask for a kaiju parody fight scene where he's stomping around like Godzilla, it's pure movie magic

I've been working on this for over a year: I'm remaking all of Ocarina of Time's prerenders in 3D, trying to match the N64 style rather than the 3DS one. The provisional name is OoT unJPEG. It will be distributed as both a romhack that runs on real N64 hardware and a mod for Zelda 64 Recompiled.

My wife wanted me to try her gluten-free ramen so she extended a fork full of them towards me. I put my hand under them, as one does, so they didn't drip on the table and she dumped the pile of noodles onto my palm, like that's what I wanted, with complete confidence. I love my wife.

alright so look. next week for this im running & streaming MVC1 and UMK3. the charity cause it supports is important to me in a time where ICE continues brutalizing your neighbors with an 85 billion slush fund at the behest of this crooked admin. id be very happy if ppl showed up & spread the word.

Remember that these people's entire business model is reliant on folks calling them out publicly on their bullshit to boost their engagement! Never ignore hate & transphobia - but remember not do it in a way they benefit from, like replying, quote tweeting or engaging directly. Block first!

As a warning, the PC version of Marvel Tokon is still fucked. The performance is definitely better than the beta, but far from optimal. It still will not run on Linux due to the aggressive anti-cheat, still requires a PSN account to play, and online can be horrendous if you don’t disable crossplay.
