Dammit, it's been hours!
I am sick again. I feel like getting a job in which I see hundreds of people each week has not been great for my immune system. Bird watching while getting wind blasted yesterday probably didn't help either.
Anyway, I will join the general strike this friday against the new plans of our new regime. It's my first ever general strike so curious to see what it is like. I have joined smaller strikes at picket lines of specific companies to talk to the workers for our party but that's on a much smaller scale.
Thanks to /u/ayjanibrahimov@lemmygrad.ml for this week's picture.

This is definitely one of those weeks where years happened..
So you mean to tell me that a dude that has planned a hit for days in advance managed to get caught in a McDonalds because an employee 'recognized' him while still carrying all the stuff of the murder?
muric*nts do anything to spread propaganda
It would be extremely Funny if the New Syrian Government Have their first election, and the results are Majority Pro-Assad
No chance, they're likely not going to hold an election until they've made sure to destroy any remaining sympathy for the previous government.
yup this is how these things go, cant throw elections until the opposition is purged.
Tomorrow I will join a general strike in Brussels against the government. Excited to see what will happen. Might be a good networking opportunity.
— 🇮🇷 🇮🇷 🇸🇾 Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC 'Khatam al-Anbiyaa' Headquarters: 'Bashar al-Assad did not request Iranian help – in fact he actively prevented us from coming and helping'
General Mohammad Jafar Asadi, deputy commander of Khatam al-Anbiyaa HQ:
– Bashar al-Assad said to one of our (Iranian) officials in a meeting: 'My soldiers have truly become either smugglers or thieves, they only defend those who offer them bribes and privileges. They could not defend me, and when I wanted to protect at least Damascus, I realized that they were not able to protect Damascus either.'
– Bashar al-Assad did not allow us (the IRGC) to go help the Syrian Arab Army, although he asked us for assistance in the past, but this time he not only did not ask, but he was worried about us arriving, and said that 'if you come, Israel will probably attack us'.
– Turkey is a part of NATO, and we should not see or accept the presence of this country and its influence anywhere outside of America and Europe. Turkey is a part of them, and with this attitude, it serves America. America is active behind the scenes.
– It seems that the factions present in Syria will clash with each other based on their own different interests. Maybe separating Syria is Turkey's desire, because they have been coveting a part of Syria for a long time.

Remember, Lion of Damascus will return one day, he is alive and well in Moscow unlike Gaddafi, the only question is when! 🇸🇾
So there's a lot of videos on telegram of HTS executing people they don't like...
It's a cool experience to see so many union members dressed in red going to Brussels today. A big wave of red just cramming into a train, proper working class people✊🏼
Some criminals allegedly targeted a shop in the city of The Hague with explosives and they managed to explode an entire block of appartments instead. Multiple people died.
An 8 year old boy survived but lost his parents and sister in the explosion. The boy is of Chinese origin and the Dutch Chinese community stepped in to help raise money for him.
People find a way to be racist about this. Maybe some people are beyond redemption.
Tonight I received a fortune that says, 'YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR IS A JOY TO ALL.'
protest in ROK today
(rabm) is red anarchist black metal. shitheads don’t know what red means there lmfao.
The more I read about Soviet politics under Khrushchev and beyond, the more I see how cringeworthy and cancerous it was.
any thoughts?
I mean it's hard to disagree. There are very few working class (read: poor) people who not only manage to have enough free time to write but to have the network to get published too.
I recently read a book on poverty written by a man who has gone through poverty himself. He only managed to get such a book published because he managed to get a university degree and a government job. He could be just a talented writer while working in a factory but he would have a much harder time getting published without the network he build over time.
Arcane season 2 is so shit. I'm on S2E4 and unlikely to watch another minute. The only clear message so far is
spoiler
cops are good, actually.
Everything else is a sequence of ten-second adverts for what might happen next—what's that another clip after another after another? When is the story supposed to start? Did somebody forget to write actual scenes and a storyline? Who tf decided that the way to make interminably long fight scenes interesting was to break them up and show you several at once?
Now I've seen a spoiler for the ending and not only do I not care, it's confirmed that I'm making the right decision by ducking out so soon. It's like a board room had all the elements of S1 on a wall, asked what was good, and deleted all those elements. Can't have the poor rooting for the good and relatable characters. They must reject what they know and cheer for the cops or else.
If S2 was a standalone thing, it would just be a forgettable look-at-that-nice-artwork-but-I'm bored-now and I'd have soon turned it off without a second thought. But what a disappointment after the first season!
If anyone can enlighten me as to how they went from S1-writing to S2-writing, I'd love to hear it. 1/10 would not recommend.
EDIT: I saw @bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml already answered my question elsewhere: https://redsails.org/the-swerve/
I have a very, very, very strong feeling that the complaints about how Gen Alpha is "ruined by screens, entitlement, permissive parenting" is nothing but nonsense that is not very different at all from how previous generations were complained about. They even complained about "today's youth" in ancient Greece, Egypt, and Sumer!
It's an outdated mindset that I sadly see all around me, even among many progressives.
