Cordobazo Uprising (1969) - New General Megathread for the 28th-29th of May 2025
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.

My heart sank for a second.
Ironmouse is streaming a game fundraising for the IDF.
It's the Immune Deficiency Foundation. She has an immunodeficiency that keeps her in her room. She is incredibly celebrated as she once held the title for the most subscribed to person on Twitch. Her good friend, CdawgVA, if memory serves, has raised over 3 million dollars for the cause. It's about as heartwarming as the situation could possibly be and moves me to tears.
Really gotta title the stream "Fundraising for the IDF (not that one)"
this is at least the second time this has happened. i don't know who that is but i remember "streamer raising money for IDF but it's an immune system thing"
The r/asksocialists subreddit has been taken over by PatSocs. I'd care a little bit if it wasn't r*ddit
You fuckers got me bean-headed. I was just singing "dancing queen" with my partner and to be funny I started replacing words with "bean" at the end of every line. It was funny, but it was one of the most online things I've ever done in the real world.
Dancing bean young and bean only 7 beans
(Ooh, ooh) ooh, you can dance, you can thrive having more beans on the vine
Ooh-ooh, ooh, see that girl, watch that scene

Whenever Anglos are first exposed to the Irish language written down they're always like "omg haha it's so weird thats not how you should write those words". FUCK OFF!!! ITS A DIFFERENT FUCKING LANGUAGE!!! It's way more grammatically consistent than English, you just can't read it because it's a different language. There's a million interviews where an American talk show host has an Irish person on and goes "haha Aoife, that's a weird name! Haha Saoirse, that's a weird name!" Fuck off fuck off fuck offfff
I've always assumed the Roman alphabet spelling of Irish was the english's fault somehow, like what they did to Chinese romanization before the CPC fixed it.
Had a coworker argue with me that Gaelic doesn't make sense because he tried reading it as if it were English which obviously doesn't match the pronunciation
I said he thinks that because he only speaks English and is thinking of Gaelic as a type of Enlgish and then he argued that French makes sense, while mispronouncing a bunch of French words
my english relatives would consistently fail to pronounce my irish deadname correctly and just laugh and keep saying it wrong when i tried to correct them. it wasn't even a challenging name at all by irish name standards.
The Helldivers 2 devs made the invasion of Super Earth by the illuminate extra-hard so they could have an epic finale for the players in the defence of the Capital but Chinese players are going extra hard in defending the Chinese Megacity which is slowing the plans of the devs since they cant open the Capital defence map until the last Megacity falls
Its very funny chinese players have been meming about it
Incredible
If the devs are cool, they will incorporate this into the story as a Cadia stands-type thing
I'm reading "No More Tears", a book about the Johnson & Johnson company. It's kind of unreal how evil that company is, yet we don't hear much about it.
They were more responsible for the opioid epidemic than the Purdue Pharma. Not only did they fund more of the research that led doctors to over prescribe, they also grew the majority of the poppies used to make them. Far more people overdosed on their fentanyl patches than oxycontin. They also continued creating and selling new opiates as non-addictive, like tramadol and tapentadol, despite knowing this was not true.
They also sold talcum powder 30 years after they knew it was contaminated with asbestos, and at least 15 years after they had evidence that talc itself was causing cancers.
They sold Risperdal despite knowing it was worse than the Haldol it replaced. They created 2 new markets for the antipsychotic, children and the elderly, despite the fact it was never approved for anyone other than those with schizophrenia. More than 1.3 million elderly people died as a result of Risperdal, the vast majority of whom were being drugged by their nursing homes. J&J knew that nursing homes were using the drug to sedate difficult dementia patients, allowing them to get by with less employees.
I'm never allowing my loved ones in these nursing homes. I recently had to see loved ones going through an elderly family member with dementia and it is a special hell, but damn if I'll let these nursing homes "put them down easy"
Maybe a hot take but if leftists are going to do an adventurism they have an obligation to at least try to get away with it.
it is may 28 and stalin saved the world from fascism

What is the exact dividing time limit between archeology and grave robbing
On the CBC they have this joke program called This Is That. They present it very seriously and dryly so you might chance on it and not know is satirical. Anyway, they once had a Canadian archeologist on who speculated ancient (150+ year old) Canadians hadn't evolved to stand up right yet because he hadn't found leg bones.
If they have living next of kin

Cheryl Hines is only reported considering filing divorce with RFK2 because she asked him if he'd love her as a worm and the worm in control of his body took that as a passive-aggressive threat.
And then he did that stare interrogation Larry does in Curb Your Enthusiasm.
RFK2: Are you implying anything with that question?
Cheryl: Ummmm no, Robert.
RFK2: closely interrogates her face like above for 5-10 seconds (softly, barely audible) okay.

Everytime someone shoplifts one of the chocolate bars from the oxfam when im on shift i just do the NL bit about imagining them dying in a car crash later that day because they were too distracted eating their chocolate bar
Inb4 "actually shoplifting is always cool and based", they're literally shoplifting from a gaza famine relief fund. There's a real corporation's shop right across the road that sells the same chocolate bars and also has zero security they could shoplift from instead.
You should put up a sign that says that.
If it was me I would tell them that. Like, stealing is fine but they should be doing it from a corporate joint.
glad you put this second comment here cuz i was gonna say that lol
No the new one is you imagine them burning in hell for eternity
But shoplifting is cool so you'd actually imagine them getting their johnson processed space station style along with the guy who invented the egg McMuffin.
edit: nvm just read the other comment
they're burning in extra hell forever
Had a weird interaction at work today, now to overanalyze it on my way home.
Ugh it's so transparent that when cops are doing transit ticket checks they're 100% operating off
. They barely glance at my card (which is empty) because I'm a but the next to me a dude that isn't white gets hassled for an expired ticket.gosh I sure hope that on the next Chapo Trap House they can get liberal zionist David Sirota as a guest to talk about [checks notes] tax reform!

The antisemitic murder of two young people at the Capital Jewish museum in Washington D.C. is devastating. May the memories of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky be a blessing. My heart hurts for them, their families, and everyone who is concerned about threats to their families and communities.
Antisemitism is real. It's toxic. And we must fight it. Anyone who doubts that could just read comments on my social media posts over the past few weeks. It’s also almost always bound up with other forms of hate that threaten our shared humanity. As attorney general, I’ll fight to make sure everyone in this state feels safe and protected from violence and hate.
I've changed your name. Your name from now on is "Local Bakery." This is how you will sign your checks from now on.
omg i love local bakery, is this finally how i boost my self love
goddamn I'm so beyond tired of listening to people in the FGC talk about age, these people act like the microsecond you turn 26 you're 3/4 of the way dead, even while watching people in their late 30s/mid-early 40s place top 8 at tournaments over and over and over
I think in general I'm just very weary of hearing people spout their baseless misconceptions and then just parrot them back at each other endlessly
very, very weary
I picked up games way faster when younger, but I don't doubt that I could do it with a current game if I wanted to devote the time to grind. Usually, I hop on a game for season 1, get OK at it, then they patch something and I just go back to MVC2
People like Wong, Valle, Daigo etc. prove it's not age, it's the ability to read the opponent.
Yeah, I mean I don't know if you saw but Itabashi just got 2nd at Combo Breaker last weekend, taking out many much younger killers along the way, and the dude is 44. But will people stop joking about being too old to play the game when you're 14+ years younger than that? Nope.
My little sister was scared of turning 20 because to her that meant she was now old lol. It's way beyond games.
When I turned 30 I barely noticed, they tried to tease me about it but it really didn't bother me. Weird generational thing
I hate it, people are so weird about it. Meanwhile I'm trying to enjoy growing older, maturing, discovering new interests and foods and learning new things - growing older is the goal and a whole lot of people don't get to do it.
So, it's endlessly jarring to hear people complain about it so much.
I've had this exact thought.

Hate to think in terms of grind set unironically or optimization culture but it is tempting when my time has been getting more and more limited these days. Spent an hour or so making some tofu patties yesterday so these days I can spend less time getting lunch ready and heading to the gym when I can in the afternoon. I also got a solid 40 minutes to myself when commuting better spent on listening to theory instead of belting out warbles to my fav
or songs. I remember taking the bargain of healthy eating, fasting and gym for a longer life and part of me wants to enjoy it by doing nothing but nothing is ever guaranteed so I need to make the most of my time hence why I been thinking about this.That's meal prep. It is a good comunist tradion to free the workers from the tyranny of having to constantly do the labor of food handling.

My adoptive mother has anxiety and when it would get really bad she couldn't drive so her solution was to keep a cup of wine in the car to sip while driving to calm her nerves

Fell over a chair and hit the side of it pretty hard, got some pain going but I think I'm fine. One of the chair arm guards is broke though. Not a fan of being clumsy but at least I don't feel anything broken in me
My hair has grown out to the point that when combined with being dyed platinum blond and summer poofiness makes me look pretty much just like my profile picture and I kinda wanna stick it out for that reason
I've been encouraged to keep it growing. My hair when long is maybe a bit too fabulous for thr modern world. I grow a natural blown out 80s look which rules but it's so fucking thicc thar the maintenance in play in something else. I'm in there with shears and razor blades keeping it from becoming white dreads already

Learning about the dairy lobby. We MUST eviscerate the farmer class by force.
Farmers as a class fucking suck. The yearly European tantrums where farmers will occupy some major city or literally throw poop everywhere because someone told them to stop poisoning the drinking water by itself should be enough to make that clear, even if one somehow missed the rampant slavery involved in the industry.
Next week on Jubilee, Liz Franczak vs 20 Rationalists
I love her and would genuinely watch that

DSA denounces, in the strongest possible terms, the concept of "cracker control
current dsa drama over the mlm causus reposting a statement from a maoist news account is very funny because a bunch of terminally online DSA libs are going on about how Blackredguard and the far-left are about to complety take over the organization and turn it into a a red army-like org.

The context is just dumb VTuber flame war shit that doesn't matter, but I had to share this comment I saw
Would you say the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan by John Hinckley trying to impress an actress is also "idol culture"?
In that same discussion I saw this completely unironic internet tough guy comment:

why the fuck do people always make baked beans that are so god damned sweet? idk why this bugs me so much. i used to like baked beans but the canned stuff always tastes super sweet, and then my dad started making his own and made it even sweeter. Why the fuck does every baked bean recipe i've ever heard of make shit taste like fucking candy? make it a savory dish for once
Agree super strongly. I used to think I hared baked beans. Turns out I just hate when they're bake in molasses.
9/10 baked beans are actually barbecued baked beans and the standard USian's understanding of BBQ is smokey molasses & corn syrup so they're gonna be sweet as hell.
My family makes their own baked beans with a far more smokier/earthier flavor.
For a brief moment in time (till rent's due) I have a positive net worth, which hasn't happened since I was 18. Feels nice, but also scary because the only way this happened was nothing going wrong for a while. I guess if stuff happens it happens so no use worrying, but still...

Finally at the end of my Lenin biography tearing up at the account of Lenin's deteriorating health and death
Lenin dies? Wow I'm hearing about this for the first time.
What can you say besides that he led an amazing life. If it were me I wouldn't have stopped at Berlin, you'd all be saying "WDYMP what are we going to do with all this... Communism?" And I'd look back at you. I'd look back and tell you "there's not going to be a state for long anymore." because it would be so late. It'd be like a paper due at 11:59pm and you'd all be getting sleepy. Not me, I'd keep writing my manifestos and union contracts. If it were me I'd be in Spain or even further west with my red army celebrating our late communism time right now.
why did I write this?
I got an estimate to fix my car and the guy doing it kept talking and talking. He was mostly pleasant, but I have a hard time with long interactions with people who don't know me.
I'm fairly certain I'm neurodivergent because "being normal" is exhausting for me. When I'm with people who know me, I'm fine, I could conversate for hours. But with strangers I feel like I'm an actor in a play I really don't want to be in.
I want to make falafel from scratch but would need to buy a food processor
Ive been trying to justify purchasing one for a while and I might actually do it this time
You can get a little one pretty cheaply probably around 20 which is good enough for most things, it's possible to dice the ingredients enough by hand for falafel but probably 100 times quicker with a processor unless you're a pro. One of the best things I ever cooked was made much easier with a processor, blended together chipotle peppers and garlic for a sauce to put on roasted portobello.
My parents have had the same cuisinart for 20+ years and they use the hell out of it

I really like the phrase "mandate of Heaven". I want to use it more.
Butts in line
"Hey dude wtf, why did you butt in line?"
"It is not my wish to cut in the line in front of you. It is the world I simply inherited from Genghis. I didnt want this Mandate of Heaven but it is what I inherited."
I use it all the time. It's become a saying at my work when making a call or sometimes while in the weeds (I'm a cook)you gotta have people just do a thing that seems to make no sense immediately and explaining comes when shit calms down. Part of my job is telling people what to do, so having fun ways of saying 'don't question me, just obey me for now' makes me much more comfortable and is more fun for everyone. If someone calls Mandate of Heaven we are to follow their scheme even against our own better judgment. Whoever called it can fall in their sword if they were wrong.

What's a good job for when you use public transportation and don't have a permanent address?
I don’t know about public transportation, but for job options that will let you not have a permanent address:
For the latter, the jobs tend to be 80-100% travel time. The company will pay for hotel and transportation when you’re with clients. Usually public transit isn’t very viable because a lot of places you’ll travel to may not have good transit and a lot of offices are located in suburban areas anyway.
Oh yeah I'm not qualified at all for this
You might think of becoming a Health Care Aide or Certified Nurse Assistant - they do stuff like turning patients, feeds, mobilizing patients (as in going from bed to chair that kind of thing), constant (for people who need to be watched at all times), sometimes they even do blood glucose checks. Some hospitals are near public transit if a city has transit at all. CNA school is relatively short, 1 to 4 months depending where you are. Need a high school diploma. Some places do not require certification (no school), check the local hospitals. So long as you can get a wash in for work and keep scrubs clean you're good.
That or kitchens, retail, you know the usual
It's kind of funny that Americans treated Morgenthau as crazy for his plans for Germany, but everyone memory holed that Roosevelt aired the idea of creating a country called Wallonia by handing over a third of France to Belgium (So the Wallonian part of Belgium would be so much bigger than the rest it would just be Wallonia) and then semi-permanently putting France under military occupation just to fuck with De Gaulle.

Backed my car into a power pole. So mad at myself. I was hurrying because I wanted to to get home, backed in to do a delivery. The pole had an electrical box on it and it creased a corner on my trunk and broke the backup light lens. Messed up the paint on the bumper when it bent, too.
Car insurance is such a scam. I've given them at least 20k over the years with only one $1400 claim, but if I have to use the insurance, I'm going to end up paying more in increased premiums.
Hopefully I can get it fixed with only a new trunk lid. I'm going to try to see if a shop can get me a junkyard part and blend the paint. Probably be minimum 3000, I bet more like 5000 if I elect to replace the bumper.
At least I can still use it while I wait
The estimate was $3600 with a used backup light saving me $400. Otherwise brand new parts getting it back to 100%.
Sucks, but I'm glad I know it'll be fixed right.

Another night where I spend five hours rolling around in bed trying to get to sleep. I wish I had an offswitch that just conked me out for 8 hours. I don't care if I die in a fire while I'm asleep
This is why I work late afternoon to night time. I can't make myself sleep so I've arranged my life so I don't have to try. I hit the hay around 3am and depending on the day start at 1 for the earliest and 3 at the latest. Although I do instead get the outside noise and stuff in the early morning cause construction always starts in the middle of my night and commuters and their cars are loud af
SpaceX tried another Starship test, and it went broadly like the last few. That is, the first stage booster pretty much worked as expected, but the upper stage failed. At engine cutoff, it started leaking all over the place and tumbling out of control, then the door they were going to test didn't open and it burned up on reentry again.
Don't you know this is /why/ they test the rockets are meant to explode you doofus
/s
That's why I'm not counting the first stage failing to land against them for this launch, because they announced beforehand that was pretty much expected this time, because they were pushing it harder than before, not aiming for their catch tower, and reusing an already flown booster.
The second stage continuing to be a failure in ways both new and old was not similarly according to plan.

brain turn off plsdo germans have the most varied name across languages?
you have: german/tedesco/allemand/nemets/deutsch. Somebody like french spanish italians have semi-similar names, here they are just wild, with different starting points.
One would think it's cause they formed so late, but italy was also non-existent for majority of late middle ages
maybe due to the reach of the Roman empire, a lot of languages named the region of Italy earlier
but romans obviously interacted with german tribes, roman languages still fuck it up (between allemand/tedesco)

Watching the recent Did You Know Gaming video on Gunpei Yokoi made me curious to check out the Japanese biography they mentioned ({任天堂|にんてんどう}ノスタルジー {横井|よこい}{軍平|ぐんぺい}とその{時代|じだい}). I thought it'd be fairly inaccessible, but I was surprised that I was able to get through the intro without too much difficulty—still very slowly, mind you, but I wasn't running to the dictionary every other word as I had expected. It's making me realize I might be setting myself up for failure by trying to read novels, since they tend to have all kinds of flowery language whereas nonfiction has more straightforward prose. I'm not sure I'm interested enough in Gunpei Yokoi to read this particular book, but I'm sure I can find some neat nonfiction books in my areas of interest that haven't been translated yet.

I was not expecting to see Leslie Fish referenced in the back of the Big Red Song book.
It's Sister Jenny's Turn to the Throw the Bomb is one of my favorite albums, the anticommunist strains in it aside. Also last I checked, Leslie Fish still hasn't been cool for a long time. She's more right wing than the lib filkers I would eventually stop talking to.
I miss them sometimes, I won't lie. I lost a lot of close friends after October 7th. They'd still have me, but I just can't look at so many people the same anymore.
Anyway, the title song from that album is a fucking banger.

I watched Babylon 5: The Road Home.
Spoiler-free thoughts:
You'll never look at a pair of blue socks the same way again.
This is very good. This is JMS putting in 100%. He is in peak form on the script. If you're a B5 fan and have been ambivalent about watching it, have no fears. It'll make you smile, cry, rejoice, despair, grin, smirk, think, and feel. It is peak B5. It's basically a love story, and fans of the show will know exactly whose love story I mean. The ending feels so right and so earned. The opening voiceover is amazing. The station looks gorgeous. The music is flawless.
This is not a phone-in by any of the returning actors providing voices. Obviously some recasting had to be done as half the live-action main cast have passed away.
Bruce Boxleitner returns to voice John Sheridan, and he is killing it. This wasn't "aging actor can't sound like they used to". From the instant you hear his voice you totally buy that this is genuinely Sheridan. And Bruce puts the same drive and emotion and slightly-nerdy-goofy vibe into the character as he always did.
Claudia Christian returns as our favourite slightly-snarky slightly-cynical always-ready Ivanova. And it's another blowout performance. You're not hearing Christian in a sound booth, you're hearing God Herself.
Peter Jurasik also returns as Londo, and my god he is every bit as good at reprising the role convincingly as Boxleitner and Christian. And not only are you hearing genuine Londo, but JMS is just as good at writing him as he was during the original show. Londo, Sheridan, and Ivanova are in a tragically comedic scene later on and every single line is convincing.
Patricia Tallman comes back as our snark-hiding-a-heart-of-gold resident telepath. She doesn't get much screen time but she makes the most of it. Same for Bill Mumy as Lennier, and Tracy Scoggins as Captain Lochley. I actually liked Lochley as a character in season 5, I think she did a fine job both then and now.
No major complaints on the recast voice actors except maybe Marcus. He just sounded too stiff. Marcus is supposed to sound way more casual even in tense situations. Fortunately he has very few lines.
JMS wisely showed a lot of restraint in nostalgia callbacks. They're there, but they're subtle.
The animation style took me a bit of getting used to, but I soon started enjoying it as its own style. Movements look realistic, characters look like they should, facial expressions are spot-on. Londo looks extremely Londo.
Okay, I'll watch it. I'm a huge B5 fan and haven't wanted to touch it. Got into the show just a couple years ago and regret watching season 5 and half of the movies and for sure Crusade. If it's got the sauce like you say I'll happily gobble it up. Fucking LOVE B5.
I'm gonna help someone out by upgrading their existing NVMe drive to a higher capacity one, but their mobo only has one M.2 2280 slot (currently occupied by the drive I will be replacing) and one empty M.2 2230 slot. Assuming there's enough clearance in the case, is there anything wrong with temporarily dangling the new 2280 drive from that 2230 slot just to facilitate cloning the old drive? I know there are USB adapters, but I don't have one and it'd be nice to save them from spending the extra cash on something they may never use again.
Come to think of it, I could also install a PCIe x4 M.2 adapter so they can keep using the old drive as a scratch drive or something, although I've never used one before.
Afaik, the only difference between 2280 and 2230 slots is the presence of the convenient screw post to hold the drive down. Be aware though, that there are M.2 slots which are not actually NVMe capable but actually just weirdly shaped SATA. Pretty sure those are keyed differently, but it might be worth checking the mobo manual.

umi e6 time
I find watching Sean Foo's videos worthwhile but his heavy use of generative AI for infographics and charts kinda makes me queasy
just finished my second full day of rideshare driving. I guess it was really only a half day since I had other jobs lined up in the morning, but it felt like a full one. Took me three hours to drive thirty miles because I was in stop and go traffic for so long, fukken suuuuuucked.
but hey i averaged $25/hr so that's something. I'm also gonna be back in that area tomorrow cuz I have to go back to the same mall for my real job (that pays $50+ but doesn't give consistent hours) but my plan is to start the day earlier and go home at 4pm cuz fuck rush hour.
Leaving treats out for my gangstalkers to show I appreciate their hard work.
I finally caught another permanent ban on twitter
luckily this time I already had my alt lined up but still, now all my stuff is gone 😭
