Philadelphia Union Ends Largest Municipal Workers’ Strike in Decades
“I really think that the union won the public relations battle over the past week,” says labor historian Francis Ryan.
A quotation from Marcus Aurelius
As a horse when he has run, a dog when he has tackled the game, a bee when it has made the honey, so a man when he has done a good act does not call out for others to come and see, but he goes on to another act, as a vine goes on to produce again the grapes in season.[ἵππος δραμών, κύων ἰχνεύσας, μέλισσα μέλι ποιήσασα, ἄνθρωπος δ̓ εὖ ποιήσας οὐκ ἐπιβοᾶται, ἀλλὰ μεταβαίνει ἐφ̓ ἕτερον, ὡς ἄμπελος ἐπὶ τὸ πάλιν ἐν τῇ ὥρᾳ τὸν βότρυν ἐνεγκεῖν.]
Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 5, ch. 6 (5.6) (AD 161-180) [tr. Long (1862)]

Hello people! I've been on the Fediverse for couple of years now, so here's my re-#introduction
I'm Ari, better known by my tag APZ and this is my #pinball repair, #arcade and #retrogaming account. I mostly post about playing and repairing pinball machines, but I also work on #retrocomputing with all the classics.
An IT guy by day, I moonlight as a pinball arcade owner here in #finland with my partner @quester. This is purely a hobby of mine, I do this to keep my sanity and to keep pinball alive for the next generations of players. At the moment I own a bit over 30 pinball machines from 70s to 2020s.
A lot of what I do involves #electronics, #CAD for now obsolete parts and #3dprinting and tabletop #cnc to recreate them.
I love to #travel, usually to meet like-minded arcade collectors. I have a strong preference to #repair stuff instead of throwing it away. I'm a #linux user since mid-90s, having been part of #foss movement most of my life. I also edit arcade related videos.

The image depicts a character in a dynamic pose, wearing a red cape that billows behind him, suggesting movement. The character has a gray beard and hair, and is dressed in a combination of armor and a flowing garment. The armor includes a metallic gauntlet on the left hand, and the character holds a sword in his right hand, which is sheathed but ready for use. The cape is a rich red color, contrasting with the character's gray hair and beard, and the armor's metallic sheen. The background is plain white, emphasizing the character. The date "2/19/9 2023" is visible in the bottom left corner, likely indicating the creation date of the artwork.

"An evolution of the UCP game is that this panel's surveys are designed to block the embarrassing flood of disagreements and complaints we usually find in the results. This time around, before you take the survey you're shown a video arguing for the government's preferred positions—and then once you get in there, it's all multiple choice and none of the choices let you disagree with the government. Great stuff."
This is an absolute truth. I literally got to the end of the FIRST page of the UCP's survey to ban books from school libraries before I had to quit because I couldn't truthfully answer their multiple-choice question, which had me choose when "children should be allowed access to sexually-explicit material", which they had already determined to be queer perspectives which had nothing to do with sex, nevermind "explicit sexual content".
I noted in my long answer that we already have laws against access of pornography to minors, and if there was actual "explicit sexual content" it would already be illegal to place in a school library. But the long answer wouldn't be seen by anyone, only their loaded multiple-choice results.

lol - forest management.
Clearly from a few people who have never been in an airplane over Canada. There is a lot of forest – we're going to need more rakes, and about a billion more people.

“In an article for the Sun, Berry said he was leaving the Conservative party after 25 years as a member and 14 as an MP. He said his former party shared responsibility with Labour for the state of the UK.”
So, having helped to fuck everything up as a Tory MP for 14 years, he wants to try to fuck everything up even more as a Reform MP.
