As I said on facebook, some shitweasel has been reading memes and decided that the answer to 'boss makes a dollar, i make a dime, that's why i poo poo on company time' is TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO poo poo.

Is there somewhere to type for people who don't want to use a mic?

there was a Stalinist purge of inactive / non-goon accounts, you need to go to the botspam channel and link your account with your forums account using authme

If you don't let me enjoy my lunchtime workplace jobby in peace then my productivity is going to drop because I am going to be unhappy. I will work to rule, I will do the bare minimum of effort, I will not clock on until exactly the minute my shift starts, I will clock off exactly the minute my shift ends. It's a loving lunchtime jobby for chrissake. Leave me alone.

Stupid name aside, it's useful to start looking at a theoretical and scientific basis for the why of certain political actions or structures and the ways they might succeed or fail:

Ah, that's the stuff. if only there were some organisational sciences that covered this sort of thing! maybe a "science of effective organization" and various relatives. if only...

The non-sectarian song for an Irish protest stuck with me. I know next to nothing about music but I'm stupidly good at trivia. I just had to look it up by the title to confirm it was the correct one.

Thanks to everyone who dropped in to the Solidarity Fund meeting. We had a really good discussion and nailed down a decent sketch of how this could look. Notes of the meeting have been taken and are pinned up in the solidarity channel on Discord for anybody who would like to take a look. The fund will be run by a 5-person committee (with potential to increase in size in needed) to authorise pay-outs with a separate account manager actually running the bank account for the fund. The next step will be to decide on the committee members which will be decided by a democratic vote of all UKMT goons. If you would like to put yourself forward for the committee please let me know by personal message either on SA or on Discord. As it's the holidays the nomination period closes at the end of the year. Voting will take place in the new year.

Also we think we may need legal advice on this before we set up the actual bank account. Are there any goons who would be able to help with this? (Borrovan, Beefeater1990, Necrothatcher, your names were suggested specficially?)

no problem, enjoy! if you find you're into this kind of stuff, i'd recommend checking out the General Intellect Unit podcast (ep. 31, on Designing Freedom, might be a good starting point once you've gone through it) and its subscriber-only Discord where we've got a whoooole bunch of discussion with people who like leftism and cybernetics, and a library of books and articles

I legit posted a christmas card to jezza thanking him and trying to reassure him that his efforts have re-energised the left despite the election defeat and telling him to have a loving brandy and chill for a few weeks lol

Feels like a small thing, but given how I feel right now I can only imagine the little things will make a big difference to the guy

I've done work in the past with NGOs who've done homeless hardship funds and financial advice for people on low incomes. Not exactly the same thing but I know they've had pro legal advice at discount rates for their stuff. I could ask around if lawgoons can't formally/directly help.

that guy does not deserve even the attention it takes to attack him. he knows exactly what he is, and he isn't going to change. the only interaction any socialist should want with him is when they, charitably, handcuff the fucker.

I don't know why we don't just mandate desk workers wear a rectal hose so we can collect their farts and sell them as a revenue stream. Any methane produced on company time is ours. Read your contract!

We're looking for people so desperate they will literally do anything to survive.
