  • Nancy 9/7/26 … Happy Labor Day

    Jump

  • In 1872, a group of Toronto printers went on strike, fighting for a nine-hour work day. (The standard work day was 10 to 12 hours at the time.) The workers’ demand to reduce their hours had been refused by print shop owners, and in particular, George Brown, a respected father of Confederation and founder of The Globe, a predecessor to The Globe and Mail.

    ...

    Ten thousand people marched in support of the workers to Queen’s Park.

    ...

    Many of the printers lost their jobs, but the incident led then prime minister Sir John A. Macdonald, a rival of Brown’s who was keen to gain worker support, to legalize union activities. In the years that followed, unions across North America pushed for shorter work days, and the eight-hour day eventually became standard.

    ...

    There’s some dispute around the origins of America’s Labor Day, but some historians believe U.S. labour leader Peter J. McGuire, inspired after visiting a Toronto labour gathering, organized the first American Labor Day parade in 1882.

  • I'm thinking of the other end of the equation: I don't listen to a lot of the artists I liked twenty or thirty years ago. I'd be annoyed if I spent a bunch of cash on their albums only to have them be coasters now.

  • Exactly this. A music collection is expensive. Even more so if your tastes change over time.

  • What kind of things do you think movies are most dishonest about?

    Jump

  • The 80s and 90s were rife with that trope. I don't know if modern action flicks are as bad.

  • Inside the Luddite festival harnessing Gen Z’s rage against Big Tech

    Jump

  • a history of the Luddite movement—a group of artisans and textile workers who resisted the adoption of machines during the early years of the Industrial Revolution in England and whose resistance to being displaced from their work was met with violence by the British monarchy.

    That's a much better explanation of the Luddite movement than I was expecting.

  • Sex and relationships in action movies.

    The whole "hot chick gets horny for the hero after a traumatizing couple of hours" thing gives a pretty messed up view of relationship building.
