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 don't like the idea of Milhouse having two spaghetti dinners in one day.
Some customer at my work had a dine in spaghetti at lunch time and then a take out spaghetti in the evening. Didn't like. Didn't like it one bit.
Mama Mia! There they went again, my my, that's too much pa'sghetti
Version I came up with while it was plating at work, I weird Al a lot of songs to be about what I'm doing.
'Mama Mia! Here we go again
My my, how fast can I feed you?'
Hell yeah, I also weird AL a lot of things at work. Mostly it involves replacing as many nouns as possible with synonyms for butts, and as many verbs as possible with pooping. I'm getting pretty good.
My kitchen is semi open so I've gotten better under those limitations. 'Stockin' the line! Food isn't always on time!', Anyway You Want It with the verses changed up to be about weird mods, I Fought the Claw and the Claw Won was a classic when I was working fancy catering and we had to prep a shitload of lobster. Oh also when we ran out of minced garlic during service and had to make some on the fly I got a big moment of glory bringing the house down with 'CUT GARLIC INTO PIECES! THIS IS MY LAST RESORT!'. I also sing the title line of There Goes My Hero to the dishwasher cause he is. That dude has my back when I'm on expo so hard. He's got salads and apps figured, he's on top of the pizza oven, doing dishes and handling the prep we fumbled or forgot about. When I put a pizza wheel through the dishwasher to cover an allergy the dude relay baton passes that shit into my hand exactly after pulling the relevant pizza. I work with easily the best lineup of cooks I've ever worked with, I'd go to war with these people and watch most of them die cause they'd suck at war, but if trained they'd be a sick platoon, but damn I would love for people to consider the big picture like he does. He doesn't try to horn in on someone's racket, he finds the gaps and fills em. He gets that just cause his part of the job is done doesn't mean the job is done, so he keeps on task until the food is cooked and sent. He gets that and You Are the Wind Beneath My Wings. A few of us do a lot of singing at work.
