Roger Waters is a English songwriter, singer and bassist who was born on this day in 1943. His most famous work is with Pink Floyd's 4 concept albums, DSOTM, WYWH, Animals and The Wall. He, along with David Gilmour is the "leader" of the band, though they collaborated much more in their earlier albums.
His father was a communist who died in WW2 during the battle of Anzio, which inspired the album The Wall, also inspired by his over-protective mother and feeling of isolation from performance.
The albums he most prominently wrote on were Animals, The Wall and The Final Cut (which did not realize nearly the same amount of praise as the other albums.)
Roger Waters is a avid socialist advocate and anti-Israel person, who raises money and posts videos about various humanitarian issues in the world. A lot of his work on "Animals" is anti-cop, anti-capitalist and pro-revolution, often very obviously.
Roger was inducted along with the rest of Pink Floyd in 1996, and continues to tour to this day.

In 24 hours the watch gained 1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6 minute. It would seem it would be 5 minutes fast in 5 times 6 = 30 days; that is, the morning of May 31. But already on the morning of May 28 the watch was 27/6 = 4 1/2 minutes fast. At the close of that day the watch gained 1/2 minute more, so it was 5 minutes fast on May 28.
A shooting match
Andryusha :frog-no-pretext:, Borya :hst-gun:, and Volodya :brace-cowboy: each fired 6 shots, and each got 71 points.
Andryusha's first 2 shots got 22 points and Volodya's first shot got only 3 points. Who hit the bull's-eye?
Like usual have fun :soviet-heart: and remember to dm @Wmill the answer.
Sorry for the short thread, had a busy day.

Follow-up on eating. After finding my bread was moldy and I couldn't make the meal I had planned on all day, I finally decided to make dip and my fucking roomate ate all my vegan cream cheese and left the fucking empty container in the fridge.
people who put empty containers back in the fridge actually deserve summary execution without a trial. my brother does this ALL THE TIME. like ok if there's a little bit left I get it but idk maybe leave a sticky note or tell your roommates/family "hey that pot is basically empty"
I got a spoonful worth. He ate all of it. Fucker isn't even vegan
It's also labor Day so it's not like I can buy a replacement and I also shouldn't have to since i fucking bought it in the first place so should get the majority.
And it's 9:30 at night. I think I have to march to a subway to essentially buy a really expensive heave of bread
the largest party in the world is ML, but go off I guess libs :shrug-outta-hecks: . I think most western revolutionary leftists are anarchists, but as somebody who has been around in online leftist spaces for far too long, Marxism Leninism has gown MASSIVELY. it was kind of taken for granted everybody was an anarchist before like 2014, aside from some extremely niche things like trots, but now I'd say a solid 20-30% are MLs and growing fast
a lot of people radicalised from the failures of reformism know we need a centralised vanguard to get shit done, and can see what a vanguard is capable of in China where the quality of life continues to go up as ours continues to decay in collapse
Kicking 10 million people off unemployment on Labor Day is all you need to know about this fucked up country.
God fucking damn it dude. With autism you're not only struggling to get through college, but also have to battle the education system at the same time because they blame you for your disability and have to be prepared to defend it at all times. I'm at the point where I am ready to say fuck it. I'll stay at home doing jack shit my whole life, you pay for it then, dipshits. I wanted to do my best to contribute to society as far my abilities allow, but apparently they'd rather see me fail and whine about me being a lazy jackass. Eat my entire asshole then, if you're not willing to work with me on solutions. Fuck I hate our normative obsessed society.
They'd rather have me bag groceries for min wage and call me a subhuman instead of letting me use my actual skills just because then they have to accommodate for my disability. And because it's an invisible disability, they either talk to you like your bullshitting everyone or patronize you.
My wife has gone from "you are my rockstar and I want straight As in grad school" to "enjoy time off with the kids". Partly cause I have demonstrated I'm taking this seriously enough, partly cause I started therapy after 2020 gave me big-burnout energy. This weekend, I locked myself in the room for a couple of hours trying to design a syllabus due today and I am just struggling with the legalese and formal academic language. That shit is just not my vibe. So I'm thinking of reworking what little I accomplished into a more casual writing style while still descriptive enough to assuage initial questions and concerns, it doesn't hurt that the very first assignments I would have any "students" complete would be reading the syllabus in perusall or another digital annotation tool, precisely to answer and discuss portions of the syllabus and see what I had missed and could be improved. I am also thinking of how to develop a contract-grading style and working it into the syllabus even though the course requires me to have "graded" assignments. I assume I have the discretion on how to implement said grading. But this is boring grad school journalin' stuff.
I really wanted to talk about how I wasn't prepared to feel my feelings brought about by parenthood. I drank this dark chocolate, peanut and vanilla stout at 11.8% alcohol by volume and what does my low-tolerance havin' ass do? Scroll through my Instagram which at this point is nothing but baby pictures of both my kids. When my wife comes down with the baby to put him down, she finds me bawling at how quickly my firstborn has grown into this amazing 3-year-old "big boy" as he calls himself. With dreams of being tall like his dad, and wanting to go to school. I covered my 3-month-old baby in wet kisses and then let her go into the room and put him down.
Then yesterday, my firstborn likes to chase me around the house and I was downstairs doing chores. I'm putting away clothes and taking a break drinking water. He goes "you are my daddy!" and I asked him "what does that mean to you?" and he goes "It makes me happy". I can't tell you how happy I was to be sober at that moment cause I would have broken down into a mirthful, tearful, mess.
Oh, and baby is now at the point where he is about to start holding the bottle by himself, so now I am reading my kindle while he holds the bottle, and I use my other hand to keep it at a nice angle of flow.
Good Labor Day weekend, 5/5 would recommend.

For real tho I HATE the pet name “baby/babe”.
Idk if I just associate it with like…all those couples in middle and high school so it seems kind of immature/trashy to me.
But I don’t like it when I hear it.
