Joe Hill, considered a Wobbly martyr, wrote new lyrics for popular hymns, so that when the Salvation Army band would strike up to drown out protesters, the protesters could use the music to sing their message, as well. Many of these are recorded in The Little Red Songbook.

So yesterday we went to the May Day parade in South Minneapolis, and took some people who were new to town.

I ended up explaining the concept of May Day as a labor solidarity holiday, because it turns out that not everyone's grandad was 3/4 Wobbly.

someone broke the outside glass of edison screw, removed the filament, twisted the bayonets of an LED globe into its exposed the power wires, and connected the LED globe to the stand of the old globe using some kind of copper clip

effective but...why

"you know how all the words on cars are just stuck on, like the brand name? have you considered sticking them on backwards?...not sure about the license plates tho"
"cops pull you over and you talk backwards at them"
"you'd have to explain you haven't committed the crime yet"

Loved 🥰 my first ever experience at #PyConAU. Sharing slides and code from @ned.sh and my talk ... "Serpents and Ducks: wrangling data with #Python and #DuckDB!"

🔗 github.com/ned2/duckdb-...

What an amazing collection of tasks. Definitely coming next year!

I used to work in a hospital and had more than one patient claiming it was against HIPAA to ask about their vaccination status. Were they American? No. Was the hospital? Even more no.

If you’re an NZ conspiracy theorist, you need to be misunderstanding the Privacy Act, not HIPAA. Show some pride.
