“The People are no longer afraid” was the cover of one of the newspapers published on the 12th of May of 1974. On April 25, 1974 a coup carried out by the Armed Forces Movement (MFA), in disagreement with the colonial war that had been going on for thirteen years in Mozambique, Angola and Guinea, put an end to the Portuguese dictatorship, which lasted 48 years under the direction of Antonio Salazar and under the leadership of Marcelo Caetano (after 1968).

Thousands of people immediately left their homes, against the appeal of the military who led the coup – which insisted on the radio for people to stay at home -, especially in Lisbon and Porto, and it was with the people at their front door, shouting "death to fascism”, that the Government was surrounded in the Quartel do Carmo (Barracks of Carmo) in Lisbon; the doors of the prisons of Peniche and Caxias were opened for release all political prisoners; PIDE / DGS, the political police, was dismantled; the headquarters of newspaper of the regime, The Age, was attacked and the censorship was abolished.

The Portuguese empire would fall later in 1974, after mobilizing nearly two million forced workers (in the mines in South Africa, cotton plantations in Angola, among others) and a 13 year war – 1961-1974 – to prevent the independence of the African countries of Angola, Cabo Verde, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau. Having been built to increase the profit of monopolies, as well as to discipline the workforce, the Portuguese dictatorship fell in the hands of the workers in April of 1974. A significant part of the property owners had to flee the country after the nationalizations which were meant to put an end to the workers’ control, which had become generalized starting February of 1975, especially in the banking sector, large metallomechanical factories, etc.

The ankylose structure of the empire – as well as that of its Bonapartist regime – led to the most important social rupture in post-war Europe – so great was the rupture and the length of it that no historian to this day has managed to determine how many workers’ meetings happened during the week after the coup by the MFA because there were hundreds, maybe thousands, and countrywide.

For 90s/00s post-hardcore fans, Zao recorded some bits of their discography and uploaded it to YouTube. Some bangers in there I hadn't heard. Happy to report that If These Scars Could Speak still slaps

We should make a merch store and no matter what you buy in the merch store or what you pay for it, what you actually get is a link to an html file of settlers.

I'm so fucking sick of my apartment complex sending out emails threatening fines over leaving trash cans on porches. Fuck you, stop harassing me, leaving the trash can out literally has no negative impact on anyone, and if they actually fine me $50 ffucking dollars like they're threatening I'm absolutely breaking some windows in their office

Got a 3D printer and am having so much fun printing little odds and ends around the household. Why am I not doing this as a job?

Also did not set the house on fire in my fireproof booth doing some angle grinding a few days ago. Also job.

I am long term unemployed and find it hard to job for some reason (mostly job interviews, can't lie without making it super obvious, incl. lies of omission. I won't reveal the truth per se, but it's pretty obvious how cagey I am. Thanks trauma parents)

I finally got around to tuning the dulcimer I bought into shape and it's comfort zone looks to be ADA or "reverse Ionoan". I don't even know what regular Ionian is like, but I guess it's a popular tuning for more chordal strumming as opposed to the more melodic DAD tuning. This instrument may be a longer journay than expected, but I'm semi-self taught on the banjo, so all I need is time, I guess.

Got locked out of my IG account and the main reason I care about getting it back or disabled is so that my contacts on there don't think I'm an idiot for trying to sell them bitcoin or cheap laptops or whatever. And I feel like an idiot for losing access in general like a sucker.

I am once again asking for an emote of Marge Simpson saying "it's true but he shouldn't say it". Think of the struggle session potential!
