Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million.

This year, it’s raising the price of an Xbox by $150 & eliminating 3,200 jobs.

Please don’t tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down.

Due to some strange oversight, #TheGameAwards forgot to make a highlight clip of @LarAtLarian - Swen Vincke's Speech on the official channel.

Surely this wasn't a deliberate mistake, so I made one myself. We should probably retweet and repost it far and wide for good luck.

I’m not a huge mod person but a while back I downloaded a Balatro mod that replaces the word “Straight” with “Gay” and lemme tell ya, super recommend it

I have already received a lot of… no.. tons of information from everyone about this store before, but let me ask one question from a different angle this time.

Why do fights like this between waitstaff and customers happen so often in the restaurant?
I have never seen plates and chairs flying around like this, especially in Japan (and the composition is not customer vs. customer, but customer vs. waiter).

I don't think it is simply because it is “open 24 hours and there are many drunks”.

What kind of culture is this?

There's something you can't grasp just by taking over 70 business trips to the US.
I need to learn more about American society……

The $375,000,000 Microsoft payout to known dog scum Bobby Kotick, could pay for the estimated salaries of both Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks employees combined for the next 17 and a half years

BREAKING: Israel is now bombing 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, threatening an imminent invasion of the last “safe place” in Gaza.

Israel is committing the worst crimes in modern history, and Western regimes are calling it “self-defense”.

Never forget. Never forgive.

The American gvmnt will protect you from TikTok, while they watch you die from no health care,no affordable housing and no reproductive freedoms-while you work 50 hours a week, at $7.25/hr, to survive a 40yr high inflation, while witnessing a genocide, on a planet that’s burning.

Just a friendly reminder that in 2024 most companies don’t exist to make good products, they exist to make profits for shareholders.

If you feel like the quality of EVERYTHING has declined and yet somehow costs more - it’s fuckers like this who did it.

Now the CDC is flat out lying.

You don’t ever develop immunity from COVID. Your body gets weaker with every infection. Your risk of heart attacks and strokes also increase significantly.

They’re lying to get you to go back to work. The corporations need money.

He was paid enough to focus entirely on these jobs and nothing else, which he did, he neglected his most basic personal needs like food, sleep and hygiene. His boots fused with his legs. Neurodiversity unchecked at its most glorious and its worst extremes.
