the Cork Transport Workers’ Union took possession of the Harbour Board’s offices and assumed complete control of the local port, forming a workers’ soviet until negotiations could be resolved.
The Cork Harbour Strike was a labor dispute that lasted from September 2nd to September 7th, 1921. It was the result of the refusal of the Cork Harbor Board to increase the wages of its workers to a minimum of 70s a week.
On September 6th, 1921, the Cork Transport Workers’ Union took possession of the Harbour Board’s offices and assumed complete control of the port.
According to the New York Times, “when the strikers took possession of the Harbour Board offices, they hoisted a red flag as a token of Soviet control and the strikers’ leaders announced their intention of collecting dues from shipping agents and using them to pay members of the union.”
The rebellion was short-lived, however, as negotiations between the Harbour Board and the strikers were reopened soon after, which came to a successful resolution. The revolt was not well-taken in the press.
The Irish Times wrote “To-day Irish Labour is permeated with a spirit of revolt against all the principles and conventions of ordered society. The country’s lawless state in recent months is partly responsible for this sinister development, and the wild teachings of the Russian Revolution have fallen on willing ears.”

The phone interview went super well, I really think I’m gonna get this job!
Posting this twice is a pretty great avant-garde bit
Sorry I’m just really excited. If I get this job and it goes well, they’ll pay for me to move out of the red state I currently live in. It would more than double my pay from my last job. I wouldn’t be in a kitchen. This would be life changing

is the evil eyeball a good guy whyd it warn about the leech
its literally an evil eyeball wtf man
I feel the need to address the Blues Brothers hate on the latest Chapo Trap House as someone who likes it. To me it’s not about the film being a great comedy, It’s only ok as a comedy. The reason I love it is because it’s a musical love letter to Blues & Gospel music with performances by Cob Calloway, Aretha Franklin, and Ray Charles. The silly car chases that make cops look like idiots and killing Illinois Nazis is just Icing on the cake.
completely misunderstands the film, it’s not about the brothers themselves, they’re not that special, what’s special is that they’re getting the band itself & it’s members.The phone interview went really well! They said they’ll get back to me tomorrow on whether or not I got the job, and I feel pretty confident that I’ll get it

The ruling class refuses to release the Epstein list so we should just assume that every rich and powerful man is a nonce until proven otherwise
Okay people are starting to ask me for recipes for shit which is kinda cool because hey it means I’m cheffing like a pro over here but also kinda sucks because I literally do not keep track of the shit that I’m doing. Like the okra I made today I just vibed out some shit. I could make more approximating the first batch because my muscle memory will vibe it out again but i can’t tell you what quantities of shit i used, I’m just throwing spices in by the handful
the flipside of this is anyone who really wants to can also vibe-cook some stuff based on a vague description of what you did
Continuing the discussion of pepper plants from last thread:
The closest to bell-pepper-size spicy peppers I have found are wax peppers since they get pretty big and are kind of a roll of the die for heat. You never find ripe ones in stores but they’re fantastic when orange.
My personal favorites are the Thai bird chilis because they are itty bitty little packets of extreme violence. When I get a two-inch bell pepper from a plant I’m all “this is the best you could do?” But when I get a half-inch bird chili it’s “oh sweet existence is pain I love this”

That looks good. Looks like it has lots of fiber and other nutrients.

The job interview at the barbecue place went well! And it turns out that non-kitchen marketing job interview went better than I thought cause they want to do a final round of interviews with me! I think I’ll have a job by next week!
I wish I had a union. I wish I had a shop steward to go to for dumb shit between coworkers. I don’t want to be a narc if someone does dumb masculinity shit and tries to pick a fight with me.
It’s actually how impressive how shit the outlook desktop client is
looks like ya boy’s got a job interview coming up, it’s not much, but it gets me out of my current situation at least a little bit.
