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.

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”
The r/asksocialists subreddit has been taken over by PatSocs. I’d care a little bit if it wasn’t r*ddit
You fuckers got me bean-headed. I was just singing “dancing queen” with my partner and to be funny I started replacing words with “bean” at the end of every line. It was funny, but it was one of the most online things I’ve ever done in the real world.
Dancing bean young and bean only 7 beans
(Ooh, ooh) ooh, you can dance, you can thrive having more beans on the vine
Ooh-ooh, ooh, see that girl, watch that scene

The Helldivers 2 devs made the invasion of Super Earth by the illuminate extra-hard so they could have an epic finale for the players in the defence of the Capital but Chinese players are going extra hard in defending the Chinese Megacity which is slowing the plans of the devs since they cant open the Capital defence map until the last Megacity falls
Its very funny chinese players have been meming about it
Incredible
If the devs are cool, they will incorporate this into the story as a Cadia stands-type thing
Whenever Anglos are first exposed to the Irish language written down they’re always like “omg haha it’s so weird thats not how you should write those words”. FUCK OFF!!! ITS A DIFFERENT FUCKING LANGUAGE!!! It’s way more grammatically consistent than English, you just can’t read it because it’s a different language. There’s a million interviews where an American talk show host has an Irish person on and goes “haha Aoife, that’s a weird name! Haha Saoirse, that’s a weird name!” Fuck off fuck off fuck offfff
I’ve always assumed the Roman alphabet spelling of Irish was the english’s fault somehow, like what they did to Chinese romanization before the CPC fixed it.
Had a coworker argue with me that Gaelic doesn’t make sense because he tried reading it as if it were English which obviously doesn’t match the pronunciation
I said he thinks that because he only speaks English and is thinking of Gaelic as a type of Enlgish and then he argued that French makes sense, while mispronouncing a bunch of French words
my english relatives would consistently fail to pronounce my irish deadname correctly and just laugh and keep saying it wrong when i tried to correct them. it wasn’t even a challenging name at all by irish name standards.
I’m reading “No More Tears”, a book about the Johnson & Johnson company. It’s kind of unreal how evil that company is, yet we don’t hear much about it.
They were more responsible for the opioid epidemic than the Purdue Pharma. Not only did they fund more of the research that led doctors to over prescribe, they also grew the majority of the poppies used to make them. Far more people overdosed on their fentanyl patches than oxycontin. They also continued creating and selling new opiates as non-addictive, like tramadol and tapentadol, despite knowing this was not true.
They also sold talcum powder 30 years after they knew it was contaminated with asbestos, and at least 15 years after they had evidence that talc itself was causing cancers.
They sold Risperdal despite knowing it was worse than the Haldol it replaced. They created 2 new markets for the antipsychotic, children and the elderly, despite the fact it was never approved for anyone other than those with schizophrenia. More than 1.3 million elderly people died as a result of Risperdal, the vast majority of whom were being drugged by their nursing homes. J&J knew that nursing homes were using the drug to sedate difficult dementia patients, allowing them to get by with less employees.
“Johnson and Johnson, a family company!”
☝️🤓 that’s S.C. Johnson you libeler
Too many Johnsons! Get rid of at least 3. I am not a crackpot.
I’m never allowing my loved ones in these nursing homes. I recently had to see loved ones going through an elderly family member with dementia and it is a special hell, but damn if I’ll let these nursing homes “put them down easy”
Maybe a hot take but if leftists are going to do an adventurism they have an obligation to at least try to get away with it.

Yeah it’s not a bad puzzle. Most of their proprietary puzzles are dumb af but that one is dece.
Are dick measuring contests judged on precision or speed?
Usually speed, shown in number of dicks measured per minute
But then you could just say any number quickly! It’d be numberwang but with wangs.
This is why you have referees. Just use some lasers and shit. If it works for Tennis is can work for dicks.
Stroke volume.

If you were to pick me up and shake me around, my head would stay perfectly still like a chicken
I was looking for a gif of that but I found chickens with great hair instead
That chicken is in The Melvins
Under communism, every autistic person will be doing what Nathan Fielder does
Have a TV show? Fly a plane?
Creating fake game shows just to tell applicants they aren’t good enough and drink milk from a hose hidden in a giant titty
It was a real game but a fake show. And does your town not have a giant hose titty?
The good news is that the autistic people in my town will not want for an ample flow of fresh milk from the titties of a giant.
The bad news is it’ll be milk
This got me thinking about what they used for milk in the show. There’s basically no way it’s actual milk because of the realities of filming. That milk would have to sit in a tank under hot lights for hours. I’m sure there’s some kind of prop milk that’s normally used cause there’s enough milk on TV to justify it. It’s gotta be some kinda colored thickened water thing
