Today in Labor History November 7, 1919: The first Red Scare, or "Palmer’s Reign of Terror," began in the U.S. on this date, on the 1-yr anniversary of the Russian Revolution, with the imprisonment of 3,000 anarchists without bail at Ellis Island. During the Palmer raids, thousands of anarchists, communists, union leaders and other radicals were rounded up, imprisoned, deported and killed. Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman were among those who were deported.

@PatrickHerd @ai6yr @moira Thermal violence is the solution to all of these problems. Whether it's because it lets go from a little bit of heat movement or ends up an ingot is all part of the mystery.

@clacke There are additional spicy compounds ... but let's stick with the ones that aren't toxic nightmares.

Enjoyed an afternoon tour of 3 #Gatineau microbreweries via #Ottawa 's Brew Donkey.

Good times! *hic*

Home in time for dinner and watching the #OttawaSenators game #hnom

@stranded_output @linuxlads I was excited about these until I saw how all the firmwares were being vibe coded, which just isn't for me. Guess that's just how the world is now 😭

@bert_hubert @cwebber wow! The inclusion of the experiment on reviewing quality is very useful! I can't believe that research isn't more famous in general... but it explains something quite fundamental. I've always felt this vague feeling that code review isn't what we say it is. The experiment proves that, and makes clear that reviewing AI generated code is never going to give us what we want from it: a guarantee that we aren't introducing weird new bugs we don't understand.

@prolrage Not a single lie on this motor van.
Belgium Regime is just stupid. Like the German Regime, UK Regime, France Regime, Italy Regime.
Ooh the #European bullshit grows so fast.

For a while, I was under the impression that all spiciness, or burning sensation in food flavoring, would come from capsaicin, the compound that causes it in chili peppers. Then I realized that Sichuan peppers are a quite different kind of heat. Wasabi (horseradish) is different yet again.

How many hot-flavored compounds are there? At least five!

So if you've been listening closely to each of the politicians who pulled of BIG upsets above you might have noticed something similar between them.

- FULL fledged support for Medicare for All
- Ending military support to Israel

Those seem to be the TWO top election issues lately and the comedians(above) and entertainers especially like Charlamagne tha God have been harping on both of these issues for years now and has been constantly underscoring how the DNC leaders are in the way.

Let’s go. https://theintercept.com/2026/11/04/midterm-election-results-democrats-blue-wave/

“WHAT are you wearing?”

“It’s the actuator arm from a JT-4000 binary load lifter”

“Um, why?”

“Inherited it from my grandfork, its first day of synth pride month, you know”

“Oh, so it is. Happy pride!”

Hack & Craft happening now! https://fossandcrafts.org/hack-and-craft/

Are there any maps showing which instances federate which others? Like those maps with nodes and connections

It’s for no particular reason, I’m just curious >.<

Alright, the fediverse has decided that I should be responsible and do my mending before starting a new project.

I have one pair of overalls that I need to fix a split seam, one pair of jeans that I need to take in, and a hoodie that I want to figure out how to modify it so I can wear it (whether that's buffering the inner seams or taking it apart and re-sewing it with cotton thread TBD)

I'll see you all in about 25 minutes!
