it is absolutely BONKERS to me, the number of people in the united states i have talked to who have never even heard of the battle of blair mountain. how the largest labor uprising in our history manages to skirt by so many leftists unknown is just downright astonishing. the largest labor uprising, and the largest armed uprising, period, since the civil war.

did yall even hear me?

THE LARGEST ARMED UPRISING!! besides the civil!!! fucking!! war!!! was fought in 1921 in the name of LABOR RIGHTS AND UNIONS by TEN THOUSAND RIGHTEOUSLY PISSED, STRIKING COAL MINERS

these absolute fucking LEGENDS marching out the hollers of west virginia, wearing their red bandanas and wielding their papaw's shotguns pointed at the lawmen. waging war against the fucking UNITED. STATES. MILITARY!!! for their right to work safely and be paid fairly!!!

and people just like. don't know about that? put some fucking respect on west virginia!!! and fellow appalachians, yall best just own it when ignorant people call you a fucking redneck cause our ancestors did that shit and they did it for us

The mine owners hired planes to drop bombs on the striking workers. Chemical weapons and leftover WWI explosives were also used against the striking workers. All for the “horrific crime” of wanting to join a miner’s union.

That is why we celebrate Labor Day in September. That is why Labor Day is a national holiday.

To the best of my knowledge, the continental United States has only suffered air-to-ground attacks four times in the nation's history.

9/11

One (1) successful fire balloon attack courtesy of the Japanese Empire in WWII

The Battle of Blair Mountain

and the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.

A full half of these attacks are US citizens bombing other US citizens because the victims of these attacks were willing to do the hard work required to improve their material conditions within the oppressive systems that defined their lives.

see actually posting is praxis because you are working to shift the sea of ideas that is the noosphere, pouring pure reason into the marxist oversoul thought construct that once fully developed will instantly bring about esoteric communism.

Do y’all ever think about how absolutely bananas Lake Baikal is? It’s the world’s largest lake by volume. It’s the world’s deepest lake. It’s the world’s oldest lake. It contains nearly a quarter of the planet’s surface freshwater. It’s a rift lake, caused by the earth’s crust literally coming apart at the seams. It would be deeper than the Mariana Trench except the bottom is covered in a sediment layer that is miles deep. There are trains that have sunk to the bottom because Russia tried to build a railroad over the ice. The entire lake surface freezes for half the year. The lake is a focal point of multiple indigenous cultures. The lake has its own species of seal, which is the only exclusively freshwater pinniped in the world. There are unique ice formations formed by convection from the depths of the lake. There are 330 inflowing rivers.

I dunno, Lake Baikal sure is a thing.

a truly unique and magnificent Feature on our planet, as singular and fascinating as Jupiter's Great Red Spot

in the words of farmboy, as you wish

the lake is quite cold, and as a result, these seals are very loaf

the babbeez are white poofs with lil eyebrowses

it is incredibly deep, and over a thousand species of plant and animal live ONLY there

Lake Baikal Seals' faces look way too much like grey aliens for my liking. Those eyes have SEEN shit in the depths.

Lake animal...

there are freshwater sponges and giant amphipods in the lake too

and the Lake Baikal oilfish, which is the deepest-living freshwater fish, and has a lot of similar adaptations to deep sea fishes

knowing anything about history is great because it makes you seem mentally insane

I Have No Mouth And I Must Spore

best sequence ever???

IT SPINS! Handmade electric motor! Entirely out of wire! They said it couldn't be done, but I have proven -- it merely shouldn't be done!

Photos don't really capture how ridiculously complicated this thing was to build, so I managed to film myself assembling the components too! Very proud of that.

In total, I've been working on this project on and off for roughly two years. This motor is my third version, though I went through something like seven designs of the commutator section (not counting how many failures it took to build a working example of a given design). I'm very proud of getting this to work at all.

I've never actually seen a maid in real life, but based on the way people post about them here, I gather that they're basically like a praetorian guard with cuter outfits and a better weapons load-out.

I don't think anymore posted the ZUN quote yet

Incredible documentary filmmaking.

And now for a different kind of robot! 

We have evolved beyond the need for illusionists. Stage magic is only performed by cardboard robots from now on.

i fucking hate maid training theres so much to remememeber

Saw a post about the sesamarot and wanted to share my favorite reading

The guy asked, the cards gave the most direct answer possible.

The cards responded with a solution the asker was capable of understanding. Sesamerot believes in accessible learning.

When I see a video of a cat minding its own business with nothing else going on I unmute immediately cause I know that mf is about to make a funny noise
