February 23: Soviet Red Army Day, marking the establishment of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army in 1918.
Lenin on the organizer of the Red Army, L.D. Trotsky
In his ‘Reminiscences of Lenin’, Maxim Gorky has related a conversation he had with him. When in the course of it he mentioned the hostility shown by certain Boishevists to Trotsky, Lenin banged his fist upon the table and said:
“Show me another man who could have practically created a model army in a year and won the respect of the military specialists as well. We have got such a man! We have got everything!”
@give-bug: ABSOLUTELY! Bitch Fart loves to take all the credit for things he only pitched to network executives, but the real labor of the shows (art direction and writing) was completed by many talented people. It’s ok to criticize the creator but still enjoy the content that was made by the people who actually did the work to help make the content successful.
One notable example of people who carried Bitch’s pitches is Stephen Silver, the lead character designer for Danny Phantom. You guys may recognize him for his other works, but idk he’s not nearly as successful and sophisticated and talented as I-Steal-Artman 🤷♀️
Hello! I wanted to ask if you would be willing to share this petition with your followers. It's for a friend of mine who was arrested for fighting fascists and white supremacists in Portland. All the info about the case is in the body of the petition. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/drop-all-charges-against-alexander-dial
Oh hell yes we will! Folks, Alex is a fucking hero who stopped a bus full of “American Guard” fascists from potentially bludgeoning people to death with a claw hammer in August 2019:
Indigenous youth are being arrested in Vancouver for protesting the Trans Mountain Pipeline and I haven’t seen it talked about in the media or online yet.
According to this post (warning for footage of police brutality and arrests), Indigenous youth were peacefully occupying and protesting in the AIG Insurance building when ~30 Vancouver police violently stormed in and beat and arrested them.
I like being a dirt scientist because everybody expects me to be a fucking freak and since nothing I do is client-side I’m never asked to fake enthusiasm. My heart goes out to all the people trying to survive having real jobs. I would shrivel up and die.
“Our soils specialist is a giant hulking transsexual communist who only comes out at night, communicates by grunting, and comes to work dressed like a Hasidic crustpunk. She does great work tho.”
Tbh capitalism is becoming more and more hostile to neurodivergent or just regular eccentric people every single day. Whenever I think about looking for another job all the listings are like “We’re looking for a TEAM PLAYER motivated ENTHUSIASTIC go the extra mile HUSTLE GRIND put on a friendly face–” sir I put dirt into glassware and manipulate it
