In my latest artist-on-artist conversation, Christine Boylan – the 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' showrunner and co-founder of Bespoke Plays – discusses the virtues of genre, her love affair with the stage, and what she's looking for out of art these days.

5AM StoryTalk · Q&A: Screenwriter Christine Boylan Needs More Transcendence in Her LifeBy Cole Haddon

Today in Labor History February 26, 1616: The Roman Catholic Church formally banned Galileo Galilei from teaching or defending the view that the earth orbits the sun. In 1633, they tried and convicted him of heresy, and imprisoned him for the rest of his life. Bertolt Brecht wrote the play “Galileo” in 1938, which first played in Zurich, in 1943. Brecht fled Nazi Germany in 1933.

It was a while since I wrote something in my blog. Finally finished a post that I started last year 😛

Many people in fediverse have strong opinions against web scraping, but the technique is not a bad thing. We do have fair uses for it.

Here I share how I used web scraping to find job positions to apply: rennerocha.com/posts/finding-a

Funny thing is that in the end, I found my job because someone messaged me here. But it can be useful to scrape it too.

Today in Labor History January 31, 1912: A General Strike began in Brisbane, Australia. It lasted until March 6. The strike was a response to the suspension of tramway workers for wearing union badges. Within a few days, the strike committee became the de facto government of Brisbane. No work could be done in the city without the committee’s permission. They created their own independent police force and provided ambulance service for the city. They issued strike coupons, redeemable at stores that were in solidarity with the strikers. People wore red ribbons to show their support and even put them on their dogs and dray horses. On the second day of the strike, 25,000 people marched, with another 50,000 supporters watching. On Black Friday, February 2, the cops attacked a women’s march with batons. Emma Miller, a trade unionist and suffragist who was in her 70s and weighed less than 80 pounds, pulled out a hat pin and stabbed the rump of the police commissioner’s horse. The horse reared and threw the commissioner. As a result of his injury, he limped for the rest of his life. The courts ultimately ruled in favor of the unionists, and their right to wear union badges while on the job. Errol O’Neill wrote a play about the strike, “Faces in the Street.”
