Episode notes

Game workers are recognizing the power of collective action through unions to improve working conditions and promote equity in the industry. Addressing issues like crunch, discrimination, and unfair pay practices can lead to a healthier and sustainable industry for all. The challenge of space debris, exemplified by an incident involving debris from the International Space Station, highlights the need for international cooperation and innovative solutions to monitor, mitigate, and remove space junk. Solutions may include better tracking of debris, development of removal technologies, and stricter disposal guidelines for satellites and rocket stages. Individual creativity and collective action can drive change, as seen through Akira Toriyama's storytelling and unionization efforts at Activision. Global collaboration is crucial to safeguard shared resources and ensure a sustainable future amid the increasing risks posed by space debris.

Finally, we shift our focus to the skies above, where the issue of space debris has once again captured our attention, as an equipment pallet from the ISS made an uncontrolled reentry over the Pacific Ocean.
