This Day in Labor History: October 2, 1968. The Mexican military slaughtered students protesting in the Tlateloco Plaza at the edge of Mexico City. The Tlateloco Massacre demonstrated the complete corruption of the Mexican Revolution’s ideals!!!

This is the second story I’ve read in a month that starts w/ influential SV types talking about owning galaxies Their ignorance in discounting the vast distances of space or idolatrous belief that AGI would create FTL travel (despite our understanding of physics & of causality itself) is maddening

I’ll take statues that go hard on Labor Day for $500. Q: the text at the bottom of the plinth on this statue reads, “The day will come when our silence will be more powerful than the voices you are throttling today.” What is “The Haymarket Martyrs Monument in Forest Park”?

Romanesque Doorway • Kilmore Cathedral • Cavan
 The doorway may have been commissioned by Derbforgaill (who also commissioned the 'Nun's Church' at Clonmacnoise in 1167). The door is believed to have been taken from its original setting on Trinity Island and brought to Kilmore in the 19th century.

Apparently “freedom from want” is not a real freedom, and improving human capital does not improve markets, according to the WaPo editorial board.
Screen shot of a tweet by Jeff Bezos:

“I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning:

I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. 
 
We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.” 

Emphasis on “We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets,”
