Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

Giuseppe "Pino" Pinelli (1928 - 1969) was an Italian railroad worker and anarchist who fell to his death on this day in 1969 while being detained by Italian police. His death became the subject of the play "Accidental Death of an Anarchist" by Dario Fo.

Pinelli was a member of the Milan-based anarchist association named "Ponte della Ghisolfa", and was also the secretary of the Italian branch of the Anarchist Black Cross. He organized young anarchists in the "Gioventu Libertaria" (Libertarian Youth) in 1962 and helped found the "Sacco and Vanzetti anarchist association" in 1965.

A few days before Pinelli's death, Italian fascists from the "Ordine Nuovo" orchestrated a bombing campaign in Milan; one bomb in Piazza Fontana killed 17 people and injured 88. The bombing was blamed on Italian anarchists, and Pinelli was detained along with many other leftists, including Pietro Valpreda, who was falsely convicted and served eighteen years in prison.

Just before midnight on December 15th, 1969, Pinelli fell to his death from a fourth floor window of the Milan police station. Three police officers interrogating Pinelli, including Commissioner Luigi Calabresi, were put under investigation in 1971 for his death, but legal proceedings concluded it was due to accidental causes.

Calabresi was later gunned down at his home in 1972, for which left-wing journalist Adriano Sofri was convicted in 1997.

I love the solution to β€œwe’re destroying the planet with fossil fuel consumption” is colonizing mars. Like great, what energy source are we using? Like we lack the willpower to get off fossil fuels here we’re not going to successfully colonize a planet with no oil.

"Person who's really into The Simpsons, but only the Tracy Ullman Show shorts" as a bit is really funny to me conceptually for some reason

Alternatively, "person who's really into The Simpsons, but only the comics"

Thank you to the Lidl employee who accidentally stuck the wrong clearance price sticker on the box of chicken breasts I grabbed πŸ™

I just got over 10 euros worth of chicken, I mean sausages, for 2.50 € while looking nervously over my shoulder at the self-checkout the entire time

Small business owner tyrant at the place I used to work at is such an anti-worker shithead that he's driving the workers to likely unionize because he's merging two businesses into one bigger business and can't be bothered to be clear about how many of them are going to keep their jobs, etc. The new place is bigger than both places combined so it's likely all or almost all of them but he's too uncarting and stupid to be clear on that so get fucked, dude. Hope they unionize.

Because they're stupid the Canadian government is not doing sales tax on food and booze from now until Christmas. Which means tips are gonna be 15% lower. People tip on a percentage of their bill, no tax added means smaller tips. Way to fuck over the working class to benefit businesses who are gonna do just fine over Christmas.

On the Pinelli affair - anyone interested and in want of some entertainment should watch "Accidental Death of An Anarchist" by Dario Fo.

It's a counterinformation-comedy-farce by an ex-partisan Italian anarchist called Dario Fo. Him and his troupe used to perform it going town to town in the wake of the Pinelli affair, updating it daily so it was a sort of 'living newspaper' (when at the time actual newspaper info about it was being suppressed). The police often tried to stop them - through the use of violence, and once even kidnapping and SA'ing Fo's wife Franca Rame (who also performed in his plays).

Anyway, it's an absolute classic, and there's the English televised version from the 80's on YouTube, and the recorded version of the recent theatre revival I believe in the V+A online archives.

(mods pin this I really think it's one of the biggest cultural memories of the Pinelli affair both in Italy and across the world)

Romance postingA good friend I used to date back during school days (somewhere in the vicinity of a decade) came back for an event. We have close mutual friends, and have done lots of social events together. They've had a more normal dating life between, while I've been single (and mostly unbothered by it, I think I may have some flag-asexual-pride tendencies after reading that post a while back) since then. I've always thought there was a bit of an undercurrent there that I was basically politely ignoring, thinking I was just dealing with some one-sided hang-ups. Well, we kissed and talked about it, we both weren't really expecting it but we've both got some feelings. The relationship still seems more vague than I like, and they live hours away so there's barriers that make starting something official daunting, but we're trying to prioritize comfort for the both of us. Here's hoping we can make something work, I'm optimistic (though that may just be romance-brain).

Just saw the witcher 4 trailer. Spoilers follow:

spoilerscan't wait for the anti woke crowd to come up with a reason that a woman shouldn't be a witcher even though Ciri was very clearly set up to become one AND there is a literal in-universe reason she is as strong as any male witcher.

Also, CW for the trailer, a young woman is harmed for "traditional" reasons

had a discussion with my wife about if wild figs are vegan. so if you don't know, wild figs are basically inside out flowers turned into a bulb and a mutualistic species of wasp crawls up in there to lay their eggs and dies in there. the newborns then crawl out, get covered in pollen, mate, and go to a new flower. commercial figs basically never use this method and just have artificial pollenation as it's far more consistent

like, see ofc wild figs you are eating a dead wasp in there that gets almost entirely disolved by the fig, but it's not like the wasp suffering or being used in an exploitative way is a part of the product. the wasp already lived the whole lifecycle and did it's thing, no less than if a plant consumed the nutrients of a decayed animal. and the new wasp is gone before the fig ripens as they tend to melt whatever is in there with digestive enzymes on their end of the mutualism, so you're very rarely gonna be eating a wasp larve in a fig.

anyways, figs and fig wasps are neat. pretty much every cultivar of figs has their own unique species of fig wasp

If they are not vegan nothing is. It's that lion king shit. If anything dies near a plant It will eventually absorb it's nutrients. Is using cow poop for fertilizer vegan? It is an animal product. However you couldn't argue that they wanted it. Rabbits maybe, they like to eat that poop. If those aren't vegan than water isn't vegan as it was once part of an animals body. Every cup of water you drink has a few molecules that were once part of a dinosaur according to some statistics I saw.
