On this day in 1969, the Cordobazo Uprising began in the city of Córdoba, Argentina as a general strike, with workers seizing the city, burning the corporate headquarters of Citroën and Xerox, and clashing with the army.
The rebellion took place under the military dictatorship of General Juan Carlos Onganía, who had seized power in a coup in 1966. Onganía’s government had suspended the right to strike, froze workers’ wages, suppressed communist movements, and extended the age of retirement.
In the wake of widespread violent state repression against protesters, the labor union “CGT de los Argentinos”, led by Agustín Tosco, called for national strike on May 30th, 1969. In Cordoba, the general strike and protests began one day earlier.
On the first day of the protests, police opened fire on thousands of protesters, killing a worker named Maximo Mena, causing the strike to escalate into a citywide revolt, leading to widespread destruction of property and seizing of city spaces. Onganía crushed the rebellion with the military, and Agustín Tosco was arrested for his role in the rebellion.

Learning about the dairy lobby. We MUST eviscerate the farmer class by force.
Farmers as a class fucking suck. The yearly European tantrums where farmers will occupy some major city or literally throw poop everywhere because someone told them to stop poisoning the drinking water by itself should be enough to make that clear, even if one somehow missed the rampant slavery involved in the industry.
I always get very irritated when I hear some right-winger screeching about some conspiracy involving children. Like just about everyone they dislike is some sort of child molester, involved in child pedo rings, or outright mutilating them.
This came up when I overheard some American saying that teachers were pulling kids out of class to make them go through transgender sex changes. This person also claimed to work as a teacher.
It’s kind of funny that Americans treated Morgenthau as crazy for his plans for Germany, but everyone memory holed that Roosevelt aired the idea of creating a country called Wallonia by handing over a third of France to Belgium (So the Wallonian part of Belgium would be so much bigger than the rest it would just be Wallonia) and then semi-permanently putting France under military occupation just to fuck with De Gaulle.

I’m starting to think too much about my relationships again. Wish my brain would stop doing that
Huge shout out to cats. I love them and thinking about them makes me happy.
If humanity ever makes an artificial general intelligence, we’ll somehow fuck it up. No disaster, we probably won’t even give it a terminal goal. No paperclip maximizer - SamsarAI. Feels apropos to me
Nightreign is like kinda stressful as a game in a way no previous fromsoft game has been.
Mariners blew it in extras
i used to like DougDoug vids a lot but now hes frequently using chaptgpt and shit for stream challenges and “content” i just hate him now
just finished my second full day of rideshare driving. I guess it was really only a half day since I had other jobs lined up in the morning, but it felt like a full one. Took me three hours to drive thirty miles because I was in stop and go traffic for so long, fukken suuuuuucked.
but hey i averaged $25/hr so that’s something. I’m also gonna be back in that area tomorrow cuz I have to go back to the same mall for my real job (that pays $50+ but doesn’t give consistent hours) but my plan is to start the day earlier and go home at 4pm cuz fuck rush hour.
I finally caught another permanent ban on twitter
luckily this time I already had my alt lined up but still, now all my stuff is gone 😭
Leaving treats out for my gangstalkers to show I appreciate their hard work.
Spinosaurus is cool, didnt understand why they had haters.
I have officially hit the 10,000 word mark on my fantasy novel, which means I’m actually making a habit of writing. I’ve written 1600 words today and intend to keep going. I’m making actual plot outlines and character bios. I’m like a real writer hell yeah
Hell yea!
that rocks, seriously so cool. delighted for you
thank you! ive been really enjoying it, just hit the 2000 word mark for today so im gonna leave it there. i spent so long trying to craft the perfect story in my head before every putting anything to paper, and now im just vomiting out everything thats in my brain and loving it
2000 in a day is going sicko mode
Yeah it is. I did nearly 1300 today, which I’m really proud of, especially since I used to hit 200 and be tapped out
My heart sank for a second.
Ironmouse is streaming a game fundraising for the IDF.
It’s the Immune Deficiency Foundation. She has an immunodeficiency that keeps her in her room. She is incredibly celebrated as she once held the title for the most subscribed to person on Twitch. Her good friend, CdawgVA, if memory serves, has raised over 3 million dollars for the cause. It’s about as heartwarming as the situation could possibly be and moves me to tears.
Really gotta title the stream “Fundraising for the IDF (not that one)”
this is at least the second time this has happened. i don’t know who that is but i remember “streamer raising money for IDF but it’s an immune system thing”
