“Had I intervened on behalf of the rich... it would have been deemed worthy of reward rather than punishment.” John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry began on this day in 1859. Listen to the final speech he gave before being executed by the slave state of Virginia for his actions.

I've had 5 teeth taken out this year and $4000 more work needs to be done. The worst one was a tooth that had broken and fallen out above the gum line that was infected. The numbing wouldn't work (after 10 shots) and they had to dig each root out individually. Top 5 worst pains in my life.

I had three teeth out in one day a few weeks ago (plus other dental stuff all in one day) and it used to feel better like a day or two later but this time it was like over a week. Getting old blows.

The workers who make Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering are unionizing. The teams behind these famous games would join United Wizards of the Coast, a union established earlier this year by Magic: The Gathering Arena developers in partnership with the Communication Workers of America.

If successful, this unionization effort would bring almost every Wizards of the Coast IP under union representation

Wildcat strikes were the secret sauce behind some of the biggest strike waves and union gains in US history. As we contemplate general strikes in the US, it’s clearly past time to bring wildcat strikes back. #wildcat #strike #generalstrike #workers letsmakethempay.substack.com/p/wildcat-st...

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands

Every news story I've ever heard about Burning Man sounds like an absolute nightmare. I don't understand risking life & limb to be trapped in a ramshackle village built by the worst hippies you've ever met, all drugged out & horned up, in the desert for days on end. I'd rather eat and shit drywall.
