Pemsbrey sits, glum and dejected, at his favorite table. Robotecca, his automaton assistant with huge naturals, stands waiting to give her sage advice. PEMSBREY: Robotecca, I ain’t feeling too good. ROBOTECCA: My programmed response is to say words that express a sympathy I can not truly feel. PEMSBREY: I get it. Ain’t too different from people in that way. PEMSBREY: Everyone’s out to shut me up or shut me down. And I mean, EVERYONE! I live the most PERSECUTED life IMAGINABLE! ROBOTECCA: This information is noted and added to memory. PEMSBREY: Why are things so HARD. Why can’t I just be HAPPY? ROBOTECCA: It’s a good question—one worthy of serious contemplation. It seems like your feelings are quite justified. ROBOTECCA: After all, everyone is out to shut you up or shut you down. Astonishing as it may sound, you live the most persecuted life imaginable. PEMSBREY (agitated): I KNEW IT!

I mean, an echo is technically a second opinion

A puppy with rollerblades skedaddles across the screen. The text is written in alphabet fridge magnet letters and reads NOT THE BEST, BUT HAVIN FUN

to be honest I've always found it kinda fun to end up being a little bit crappy at whatever I try to do... Takes a lot of pressure off, and I feel like everyone can tell when you're doing something just for the love of the game

client is watching friends and my god i hate ross and rachael. worst part of this show. get over yourselves what the fuck. get joey or phoebe back on screen theyre delightful

today clients introduced me to the show "the equalizer" and guys. its a good show. queen latifa beating up bad guys and helping regular people with no one to turn to, and each episode ends not just good but hopeful. episode one she got a billionare tech guy arrested it fuckin ruled

thou: 'you' as the direct subject of the sentence. thou art not, wouldst thou kindly, etc.

Stanhill, Lancashire, 1764. Wear and carpenter James Hargreaves invents the Spinning Jenny, the first practical spinning-frame, to make the tedious task of producing cloth a little bit faster. He doesn't know it yet, but this will destroy the world. Spurred by inventions like his, the industrial revolution will transform everything -- work power, the wealth of nations. Society as we know it began here, and it wasn't great for everyone. But a group of weavers and textile workers saw this future coming. And did their best to prevent it.

"Curse you spinning jenny, you ruined everything!" The standard narrative does that LUDDITES were foolish lunatics who, in fear of technology, decided progress was bad, and started hitting it with sticks. But the truth is entire ways of life were being destroyed. Previously, skilled craftsmen were respected for the time and effort it took to do their work. The entire family usit would form a cottage industry - creating something valuable, and command a decent living. But when a machine can work 10 times faster its owner can charge less for the prodcts- craftsmen couldn't compete and were left out of work almost overnight. And as factories became a fixture of the british landscape, these now unemployed labourers often ended up working the factories that had just destroyed their way of life. Britain was the most prosperous nation in history, factory owners became extremely wealthy and influential. But the people doing the actual work saw almost none of it.

Factory work paid little, since "the machines" did "the real work" human labourers were deemed unimportant and replaceable. FUN FACT!: Factory owners preferred to hire ORPHANS since less people would notice if they were maimed or killed on the job! Now the owners quickly realized the workers might notice they did all the work for almost no pay. If they went on STRIKE or ARGUED FOR HGHER WAGES, this would threaten their tremendous wealth. In 1799, Parliament passed the Combination Act, which made FORMING TRADE UNIONS, COLLECTIVE BARGAINING, AND GOING ON STRIKE ILLEGAL. Organizing against the rich became a crime.

If you were living through it, opposing the industrial revolution wasn't techno-phobia. It was SELF-DEFENSE. The combination act forced unions underground into secret societies. And the greatest secret of all was their leader - Ned Ludd. Ned had been a folk character for years. In one version after being whipped by his master, he smashed two knitting frames in a rage. In more fanciful versions, he then escaped to the Sherwood forest, here he lived among the animals as their king. Some versions specifically call him 'Much Better Than Robin Hood'.

Happy Labor Day!

Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work...

Have you ever heard of the term "Luddite" from an elder?

Strong Bad (red lucha libre with boxing gloves) in a blue wig on a stage, the same one from Flavor Foley's "Spoken For" music video. Text on the upper left reads "Go for a perfect" while the text on the bottom reads "I can't read the emails, they just don't let me"

"Everything i say is spoken for me!"
