Next To My High School There Is A House That Puts Up Inflatables For Every Season/holiday. They Have

If you are in/can make it to Montreal on February 17-18, consider registering for this year's Marxist Winter School! 100 years have passed since the death of Lenin, but he lives on in his writings and, to the best of our ability, in all of our work today. This is why the theme this year is "In Defence of Lenin." Hyped to meet new comrades and consider/discuss the revolutionary ideas and historical lessons of Lenin! See you there <3

Nabisco bakers across the US are on strike, potentially disrupting Oreo supply

Hundreds of workers at Nabisco bakeries across the country are on strike over a proposal to change their work shifts and health care benefit

Hundreds of union employees at three U.S. Nabisco bakeries that make Oreo and Chips Ahoy cookies and Ritz Crackers have gone on strike to protest proposed changes amid contract negotiations with parent company Mondelez International, Inc.

Approximately 200 workers at a factory in Portland, Oregon, have been on strike for two weeks and were joined on Monday by about 400 employees at Nabisco’s bakery in Richmond, Virginia. On Thursday, workers at Nabisco’s bakery in Chicago also walked off the job to go on strike.

Employees at a sales distribution center in Aurora, Colorado, also joined the strike on Aug. 12. All of the workers on strike are members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers, and Grain Millers International Union, which announced the Chicago strike on Thursday.

“This fight is about maintaining what we already have,” Mike Burlingham, vice president of BCTGM Local 364 in Portland, told TODAY Food. “During the pandemic, we all were putting in a lot of hours, demand was higher, people were at home, and the snack food industry did phenomenally well.

“Mondelez made record profits and they want to thank us by closing two of the U.S. bakeries (last month) and telling the rest of us we have to take concessions, what kind of thanks is that? We make them a lot of money. It’s very disheartening. How is that supposed to make us feel?”

The union is in the midst of negotiating a new four-year contract with Mondelez after the previous one expired in May.

Union leaders say that Mondelez has proposed switching from eight-hour shifts, five days a week, to 12-hour shifts, three or four days a week, without overtime, and with increased mandatory work on weekends without extra pay.

Two months ago, a werewolf jumped to bite you as you were entering your house; it missed and instead bit the door frame. Now, every full moon, your 1,800 sq ft, 2 bedroom, 2 bath home turns into an 800,000 sq ft Amazon storage facility.

I find it hilarious when someone in the comments of an old revolutionary/protest song is like "beautiful song, we need to return to the good old days with traditional culture and values." They completely ignore the lyrics and historical context because they can't believe that some of their ancestors might actually have been pretty progressive in certain ways.

Other than the name, this just seems like culture shock. The lighting is weird because they bought the bulbs at a store you never knew existed. The smell is some cleaning product, perfume, or spice you've just never smelled before. The music is just foreign music in a genre you've never even heard of, and there are a few thousand languages on this planet, so it's no wonder you've never heard this one. The employees are all stressed because everyone is stressed right now... or maybe they have different traditions around hospitality? Regardless, all this is pointing to their food being amazing (and even if it isn't, you have a great story).

A restaurant named You're Not Supposed To Be Here, where the whole point is that the vibes are unnerving. The lighting is weird, the whole place has a faint scent that's not a bad smell, but it's certainly not food smell and you can't quite identify what the hell it is. The music is weirdly janky and you can't quite tell what's wrong with it, the vocals aren't exactly garbled but sung in a language you swear you've never heard anywhere and couldn't name if you tried. Only hiring staff who have anxiety and they're 100% permitted to show how much your presence here stresses them out.
