In addition to Kelloggs workers striking, John Deere workers are now also striking!! They gave the CEO an over 100% raise (went from 6 mil to 15.6mil) and were only offering 6% raises while eliminating pensions to workers.

I know most of us are apartment dwellers, but they sell branded merch and small tools too, so.

@hafnia@weirder.earth theres a room in the education building labeled “BIOHAZARD Authorized Personnel Only” and I’ve always wondered what kind of interdisciplinary nonsense led to a biohazard lab being built in a building thats otherwise entirely classrooms and offices

CRIME AND CRIMINALS
Address to the Prisoners in the Chicago Jail

by Clarence Darrow

Preface
This address is a stenographic report of a talk made to the prisoners in the Chicago jail. Some of my good friends have insisted that while my theories are true, I should not have given them to the inmates of a jail.

Realizing the force of the suggestion that the truth should not be spoken to all people, I have caused these remarks to be printed on rather good paper and in a somewhat expensive form. In this way the truth does not become cheap and vulgar, and is only placed before those whose intelligence and affluence will prevent their being influenced by it.
