Would you nerds accept a scoop of the communist chili?

I have a friend who is into making jewelry and sewing and things of that nature and from the outside I’m not sure what kinds of things fit into those style of crafts. I was wondering if there were any tools or other ideas that would make a good gift for them.

I don't know if this photo of a sniper on top of a vehicle is from today...

i must have missed the post, it's 4 days ago and search don't work

Hey everyone, I know this could be overwhelming but I’m in a bad situation right now. I’ve been very sick and just got diagnosed with malaria, typhoid, and peptic ulcers. The clinic bill is around $250 and I just can’t afford to cover it all.

This honestly isn’t the time I should be sick I’m already under so much stress dealing with the threat of eviction by the government and now this. Life’s been really rough lately for me and I’m exhausted trying to hold it all together. The fact that I might be detained, deported or even harassed to death is already killing me psychologically: (

If anyone is able to help even just a little I’d be so grateful. The support link is on my profile. And if you can’t donate, sharing is also a huge help. Thanks for reading and for being here.

With love and solidarity, CyaraKaira

Chuds are malding.

On this day in 1912, a riot broke out in Grabow, Louisiana when gunfire was exchanged between organizing lumber workers and private gunmen hired by the Galloway Lumber Company, just one event in the Louisiana-Texas Lumber War. The clash left three union workers and one company gunman dead, wounding an estimated fifty more.

The event took place in the context of workers in the sawmill town of Grabow joining the Brotherhood of Timber Workers (shown), a branch of the Lumber Workers Industrial Union (LWIU), itself affiliated with the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).

On July 7th, 1912, the union workers held a series of rallies at several different company towns, including Bon Ami and Carson, alongside Grabow.

The group that went to Grabow, around 200 people, spontaneously decided to hold a rally with several speeches - labor leader Arthur L. Emerson spoke on top of a wagon to roughly 25 non-union men, plus the additional union men who had come with him.

Shots began between these workers and a group of four others, including Galloway Lumber owner John Galloway, in the local mill office, all of whom had later been found to be drinking before the incident. It is not known for certain which group fired first. Three union men were killed alongside one member of the private company security force. Approximately 50 more were wounded.

Over the next few days, more than more than 60 workers were taken into custody by police. Although the mill owner himself was arrested, he was released without charges soon afterward. Sixty-five of the timber workers' group were brought up on charges ranging from inciting a riot to murder.

The IWW worked to aid the incarcerated workers, with "Big Bill" Haywood fundraising for their legal fund. The trial lasted until November 8th, and its jury returned a not guilty verdict for all of the union men. All of those arrested were set free.

Although they had limited success in Louisiana, the LWIU successfully organized later, winning an eight-hour day and vastly improved working conditions in the Pacific Northwest after a 1917 strike. Today, there is a historical marker at the site of the riot, located on what is now the property of DeRidder Airport, Louisiana.

Including someone just yesterday who said they’ve STOPPED SEEING THEIR PSYCHOLOGIST and are ONLY USING CHATGPT for therapy now.

This shit is genuinely dangerous. “AI” therapy got me feeling like bro fr.

Deteriorating material conditions + expensive mental healthcare options + LLMs that recommend tall bridges to suicidal people, what a fucking great recipe

That’s without even getting into the privacy concerns of telling your deepest feelings and secrets to a fucking chatbot that literally builds a profile on you. Someone else said to me recently that they basically use chatgpt to journal so it knows everything about them and their friends and god knows what else. So yeh, take comfort in the fact that even if you’ve never interacted with this dogshit, it could probably still have a deep profile on you because one of your dumbass friends decided to use it as a diary because LLMs just agree with everything you say and are very validating.

The RSS-to-lemmy server a few of us have be appreciating will soon be shut down.

If anyone wants a side project, a leftist implementation of this project would be really cool.

So it turns out .cat is only for Catalonia. I didn’t know this, just thought it was a neat hostname. So… they finally caught me not being Catalan, and they’re taking my domain away.

It’s sad. I’m not really sure what I plan to do, but in about a week, rss.ponder.cat will be no more. Sorry gamers. No promises but one possibility would be to set up a replacement instance, and just send everyone a DM with links to be able to get their subscriptions via the new instance instead.

People are going to complain at me about having to block the new bots, too. Hooray! Well, life goes on.
