Imagine still having to negotiate with private health insurance as a Mars colonist. Oh, Kaiser didn't cover your kidney shrinkage medicine? Just fill out a form in our office on Earth to start a review process.

Being able to admit a mistake is huge, being able to genuinely apologize without some cop-out disclaimer is even better.

Loukanikos (Greek: Λουκάνικος: "the sausage loukaniko"), initially named "Theodor", was a Greek riot dog that participated in almost every anti-austerity protest in Greece. He was commonly known for joining protests, barking at police, helping in street battles with the Greek police as well as participating in anarchist rallies and picket lines, at least since December 2008. Loukanikos had a reputation of being fearless, usually being in front of the protests and having tear gas thrown at him multiple times. He was active throughout all Greek protests and often leading the protesters towards the police. Initially a stray, he moved from building to building, but was said to have preferred to be on the streets. He was groomed and cared for by multiple left-wing organizations.

Good Dog

A Bewitching Revolution.

You play as a witch who explores a city, helping homeless people get housed, planting fruit trees, clearing anti-bird architecture, starting union drives and prison riots...

The game is free and you can finish it in an hour.

A Bewitching Revolution is a first-person adventure game about a communist witch living in a cyberpunk city. Use magic to help the city's residents build collective forms of power and resistance!

Inspired by the work of Silvia Federici, A Bewitching Revolution tells an optimistic story about people transforming their gloomy capitalist present into a bright revolutionary future. It is designed to be played in a single sitting, roughly one hour long.

New parent. We know our child will probably have a harder and worse life than we did. But that doesn't mean we can't do our very best to give them a good chance.

If we ever find Grandma entertaining the kid with a Pregnant Elsa Spiderman Joker video, I'll smash her phone with a hammer in front of her.

They used to call this the Boom/Bust Cycle of Capitalism. But then economists rebranded it as "the Business Cycle" to downplay how accurately Marx described the Boom / Bust Cycle of Capitalism.

In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!
