I watched this for the first time the other day, and thought it was absolutely awesome.

While it's a comedy film, it surprisingly touched on a lot of areas seen in David Graeber's 'Bullshit Jobs' concept, 14 years earlier.

Well acted, supremely funny and well written, and a particular joy to anyone who's worked in an office, or had a family member who did. There's not really any low or slow point in the film, it's steadily excellent the whole way through.

On May 1, 2025, in cities across the U.S., we will gather in solidarity—honoring the legacy of workers who organized for the 8-hour day.

Today, we face a new threat. A billionaire-backed minority is quietly reshaping our democracy—eroding workers’ and immigrants’ rights, defunding our public services, and concentrating power into the hands of the few. But across the country, people are coming together to push back… not with fear, but with hope and nonviolent action.

A peaceful People’s Movement is growing—rooted in community, powered by compassion, and determined to build a future that serves all of us. From mutual aid networks to labor unions, student groups to neighborhood coalitions, we are reclaiming power by showing up for one another.

May Day is more than a tribute to the past. It’s a call to action in the present, a reminder that when we care for each other, we all rise.
