ChapotraphouseJohn Brown, born on this day in 1800, was a militant abolitionist who advocated for and practiced armed insurrection to overthrow the system of slavery in the U.S. He became the first American executed for treason after raiding Harpers Ferry.
Brown first gained national attention when he led small groups of volunteers during the Bleeding Kansas crisis of 1856. He was dissatisfied with the pacifism of the organized abolitionist movement, stating "These men are all talk. What we need is action - action!"
In October 1859, Brown led a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (modern day West Virginia), intending to start a liberation movement that would spread south through the mountainous regions of Virginia and North Carolina.
Although Brown's group successfully seized the armory at first, his raid was defeated by a combination of volunteer militia and state forces led by Robert E. Lee, who later commanded the Confederate States Army. Seven people were killed, two of whom were Brown's sons Oliver and Watson, and at least ten more were injured.
Brown had intended to arm enslaved people with weapons from the armory, but only a small number of locals were willing to join him, possibly due to an unfamiliarity with firearms. Within 36 hours, those of Brown's men who had not fled were killed or captured by local farmers, militiamen, or U.S. Marines.
Brown was hastily tried for treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia, the murder of five men, and inciting a slave insurrection. He was found guilty on all counts and was hanged, becoming the first person executed for treason in the history of the United States.
"I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land can never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done."

Best time of the year, sleep wise, right now. Go to bed when it's a little chilly, wake up and doing a little snooze when the air is warmed by a sunbeam, enveloping you like a second blanket made out of a hug. These few weeks before the summer heat are such bliss.

What about that news about Biden having cancer?

The most unrealistic thing in 40k is the imperium actually attempting to contain pandemics instead of letting it spread for le economy.

This audio of a star trek novel narrated by James Doohan im listening to is super fun. It's the TOS cast stuck in an elevator or whatever and passing the time talking about how each one handled the Kobyashi Maru test. It gets Kirk's out of the way first. Chekhov's is pretty funny where he goes war mode in every academy scenario. Thats as far as ive gotten but its been really good light fun so far and Doohan doing impressions if the other cast members rocks

Metal guys love reposting the 'friend: I listen to every kind of music me: puts on (insert death metal/black metal/grind bands here)
Jokes on you asshole! I genuinely do like every kind of music and have strong opinions on who pulls of each genre well and who is shitty within it. I have made it my damn business to find the underground of any genre ive had remote interest in, and the ones I dont still have some shit I really like. I like cybergrind, kiss me by sixpence none the lesser is a bop, I fuck with older country music, not huge on mainstream pop but love italian disco dream pop shit, I like mongolian throat singing and have been learning to do it myself cause it would sound sick in a funeral doom project. I like and make noise music. I am an encyclopedia of diy punk. The Shaggs rule. I dont know rap and hip hop well enough to consider myself knowledable but that's something id like to get more into, the beat side of things isnt too far removed from the noise shit I do and theres plenty of songs ive heard that ive really liked. Fucking LOVE 60s rnb. There is a lot of good songs in every genre and a lot of absolute trash. I am a music pervert and generally am on the punk/noise side of things and I usually like when those aspects are more present in other genres, I do have my own tastes, but there is something in everything for everyone if you bother to look beyond the surface
So, that means when I put on insect warfare you won't complain!

"George RR Martin might die before he finishes A Song Of Ice And Fire" - whatever
"Robert Caro might die before he finishes his five part biography of Lyndon Johnson" - POTENTIAL NATIONAL TRAGEDY
George just wants to be like Tolkien and have others try to figure out what he was cooking up based on whatever notes they find in his house. He even stole the RR and writing fantasy thing.
tbf he also wrote a load of sci-fi before starting ASOIAF in the 90's, A Song for Lya, Men of Greywater Station and Sandkings blow GoT out of the water imo

I want a t-shirt that looks like it's for a metal band, only there is no text to be parsed, it's just a thorny thicket/cobweb, and see how long I can get people to stare at my chest for
I will literally get distracted in traffic if I see a logo like that. The trend of non-metal bands using the font has been bad for me

Now I wanna watch that just for the name.

Just like how the egyptian kings of old would wear one crown for control of upper egypt and one for control of lower egypt and then later combine the two because they controlled upper and lower egypt, american presidents should wear one hat that combines 50 smaller hats.
Edit: I tried to put this in bad post but it's too long for a title.
The Dodo deserved better. They just wanted to be fat little guys and eat fruit all day.
I learned recently that dodos were related to pigeons. And were basically really big pigeon, the victorian crowned pigeon is closely related to them. They also had the baby-ification thing going on (forget what that scientific term is called) 😭
i actually really want pigeons to become super big again that'd be so good x3
I had a dream that all my posts to hexbear kept changing to random links.
Like, I would make a comment but when I looked away and came back, it was just a link to google calendar.
I've seen browsers do this but just with favicons.
has anyone here ever hosted their own cytube instance and if so, is there a node version i should be using? i'm using node 26 on ubuntu 24.04 and i'm getting a fuckload of errors at the dependencies installation part (npm install) and i'm wondering if using an older version would fix it
The docs say active LTS, which is 24, and that "the bleeding edge" which means 26 right now might not be supported.

that was it, had to go back to version 18 and it builds now, but 😬
i'm sure it'll be fine 😅
not bad for a npm package
18 is like slightly old, maintenance ended last year, does 22 not work? There were two commits in the repo to update for 22. Or even just 20 at least (was in maintenance until just this month)
Also that's the norm for npm packages. Not sure what to do, don't really use npm myself

tbh i just went all the way back to 16 based on the comment here https://github.com/calzoneman/sync/issues/927#issuecomment-968126826
and started going up version by version, i did get 20 working right after i posted that, which decreased the number to 10
cool, thanks for the suggestion
I still see people on reddit that think critical support means like really big support like a Critical Hit
That was me when I first heard the phrase

David Bowie music makes me real emotional sometimes
I think of 5 years all the time these days.
Out biking. See this truck down a sideroad. No idea if that's like his company name or what.
I was thinking recently that the John Brown thing that removed the chapo subreddit was probably an op. Either by some 4chan types or by that one Reddit executive who was hired around that time whi had previously worked for the CIA
Really? Of what I recall, the zeitgeist was content with the idea that the subreddit was getting deleted and double-tripled down on the idea that slaveowners should be dead. Seems reasonable enough a response to my sensibilities
Ebay made me jump through a million hoops to buy it but I just got a bobbin winder for weaving for almost 50% off what it wouldve been new
that's awesome! if you know of a weaver's guild near you, sometimes they give away discounted materials and tools or even freebies :o
It's funny you say that, the reason I was looking up bobbin winders on ebay is because I was going to go to my local guild and try to buy a used one there but couldnt tell if they took card and they didnt answer so I tried online and found one
I like this John Brown guy

同志，爱情不过是小资产阶级的幻想，但革命理想是真实的。个人情感也许会背叛你，但共产主义不会。放下风花雪月，紧握《共产党宣言》，坚定不移的投身于无产阶级解放的伟大事业。
Comrade, love is nothing but a petit bourgeois fantasy. But revolutionary idealism is real. Individual attachments can betray you, communism will not. Do away with sentimentality and frivolities, cleave to the Communist Manifesto, set yourself firmly to the great task of liberating the proletariat

You telling me John Brown was leading raids when he was 59?
Damn I hope to one day be half as badass.
He was building intentional communities for years and years preceding this, too.
