'Taigyaku Jiken', a 1989 piece by Iri and Toshi Maruki, was inspired by the High Treason Incident of 1910
Kōtoku Incident (幸徳事件, Kōtoku Jiken), was a socialist-anarchist plot to assassinate the Japanese Emperor Meiji in 1910, leading to a mass arrest of leftists, as well as the execution of 12 alleged conspirators in 1911.
Uchiyama Gudō, born on this day in 1874, was a socialist Buddhist priest who opposed Japanese imperialism, oligarchic land ownership, and the rule of the Emperor. He was executed by the state in 1911 during the "High Treason Incident".
Gudō was ordained as a Soto Zen priest in 1897. In 1904, he became the abbot of Rinsenji temple in a poor area of a rural region of the Hakone Mountains. Village tradition states that every autumn Gudō would invite poor villagers to divide the harvest from the temple's only two trees equally among themselves.
Gudō was a self-identified socialist and outspoken advocate for redistributive land reform, overturning the Meiji emperor system, encouraging conscripts to desert en masse, and advancing democratic rights for all. He also criticized Zen leaders who claimed that low social position was justified by karma.
One of Gudō's most widely read and circulated works was a scathing denunciation of the Imperial Japanese government. Contradicting official state doctrine, he argued that the Emperors of the Imperial family were neither divine nor the destined rulers of Japan, and that their ancestors "came forth from a corner of Kyushu, killing and robbing people as they did. They then destroyed their fellow thieves."
Due to the popularity of Gudō's subversive publications, he was arrested in May 1909 and charged with violating press and publication laws. When police uncovered an alleged socialist plot to assassinate the Emperor (known as the "High Treason Incident"), Gudō was accused of being a co-conspirator.
In 1911, he, along with eleven other socialists, were convicted and executed. In July 1909, before Gudō's conviction, officials of the Sōtō Zen sect revoked Gudō'sabbotship.
"When I began reading the Heimin Shimbun at that time [1904], I realized that its principles were identical with my own and therefore I became an anarcho-socialist."

And it was still wrong for a pretty woman to be called a dime because women are worth infinitely more than that.

So if you type “pencil lead” into a scholarly search engine, you will find hundreds of peer reviewed articles by Iranian researcher for how to pretreat pencil leads to create electrodes and analytical chemistry components. Why? Because apparently “carbon fiber” has been under strict embargo since 2009.
I may not see eye to eye with Iran on many things. But god damn are they Bugs Bunnying America. Just absolutely bamboozling them at all turns.

This reminds me of 2019 when everyone decided to start saying “equity” instead of “equality”
I had a student English teacher in 10th grade try this on me in like 2007. There were no AP classes until 11th so I was i leviathan in a small pond, this was borderline remedial. French Immersion was harder than normal school including English class and also ive just always had a knack for language stuff, so anyway I had finished an assignment a week early and the student teacher tried giving me extra work to do to cover the time. I didnt wanna do busywork and said that I'm just gonna do an equal amount of work as my classmates and that really if I did this work and it was graded there is no way it could help me cause im already pulling an easy A+, I was trying to read in class, I wasnt being disruptive. He tried to tell me the difference between equality and equity as if I didn't already know those words, which in all fairness, I was 16, but this was already a debate based around my precociousness. If we were working towards a common goal and not individual grades I would for sure take on extra work to alleviate others, but they tend to frown upon you doing other student's work for them. Equity therefore didnt come into play. In all fairness dude conceded and also gave me extra points on whatever I had turned in for stating my case well. I think i just stopped going shortly after cause it was 3/4 throufh and id aced everything so unless shit was scaled weird I had a pass. The next couple years were more engaging, but daaaaamn that class was like 4 years behind what we were doing in French immersion English classes. It all gets more integrated together in high school
hmp! yes, and those radlib-circulated image macros , demarcating the differences between equity/equality/fairness, as if those were cleanly, analytically distinct, non-overlapping conceptual categories.

I live on the third floor of my family home. But my family is on vacation so it's just my dog and me. My dog is usually on the 1st floor and she doesn't really like staying in my room, but I didn't want her to be downstairs all by herself the whole time so I bribed her into staying with me upstairs by allowing her to get on my bed (for the first time in 10 years btw).
The good news is that it worked. She's sleeping on my bed right now and seems very content. The bad news is that there is now a 30 kg labrador retriever in my bed and she doesn't seem too concerned about leaving enough room for me. I might have to sleep on the floor.
