sea shanties, rec list
Obviously, there are also sea shanties in other languages! My favorites:
German: "Männer mit Bärten" (Men with Beards), here by Die Streuner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on-CuaGMveg
French: "Guerre, guerre, vente vent" is beautiful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I_vQHbmmaY
And a Dutch one! "Daar Was Eens een Meisje Loos" - be sure to read the description here, you'll get a taste of what digging into a folk genre is like! :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zep5DbpRYjg

sea shanties, rec list
Aside from these, there are also "leaving songs": these are about leaving for a voyage, or leaving the ship after return. (Sometimes they're still also working songs.)
"Bonny Ship the Diamond" is about leaving the port: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtYaXUfTq4A (a whaler song like the Wellerman, btw)
"Leave her Johny" is about leaving the ship (Johnny Collins): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fVQwzv5Qfc
"Don't forget your old shipmate" as well (Jerry Bryant and Starboard Mess): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY1fUAPYH3M

sea shanties, rec list
Sea shanties are songs of sailors: in the navy, the merchant marine, on whaling ships, etc. In the narrowest sense, specifically WORKING SONGS sung to keep rhythm. They often have a call-and-response pattern.
A great example is "Pump Her Dry" as sang by the Exmouth Shanty Men: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgK1hnBCqjw
"Fire Down Below", sung by The Jolly Rogers, is another good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mLR_W4JZdI
"Roll the Old Chariot" led by David Coffin is great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20n3N1uhztc

sea shanties, rec list
First: some people will complain that "it's not sea shanties, it's just Wellerman!" and "Wellerman isn't even a sea shanty!". If you meet those, I recommend smiling, nodding, and then ignoring the fuck out of those people. Shanties are a folk genre experiencing a revival - not only is it music that organically evolved, but is actively adapted and adopted by a new generation of singers and fans. There is no one true definition of a sea shanty!

Apparently TikTok made sea shanties a thing now. Awesome! Because I'm a sea shanty nerd, I decided to make an "explainer". If you're new to sea shanties, or just want some recs, follow the thread!

long, analyzing a spacechem custom puzzle, sort of pol
one time i wrote what was basically a short essay on reddit about a spacechem custom puzzle in researchnet
the puzzle was called Precious Oxygen and it was about turning gold and silver into oxygen atoms
i wrote about how it's a really interesting way to tell a story just from a puzzle with inputs and outputs, like it immediately brings to mind a "my kingdom for a horse" idea where the shiny metals you get for winning at capitalism have lost all their subjective value in favour of struggling to survive
and what was even more interesting to me is that: it doesn't work. there is a way to solve the puzzle without any waste but it's extremely slow and clearly not what was intended. the way you're supposed to solve it with a decent score involves creating waste atoms, which means that the solution will eventually fail. it'll fail after the verification check is over, but if you left it running, it would eventually crash
the idea that this realization that none of it matters anymore if you can't secure your continued existence came too late was really fascinating to me and has parallels with, y'know. earth.
the creator of the puzzle saw the thread and said "i'm not going to say that any of this is invalid, it's really interesting, but i will say that i just wanted the pun in the title"
@noiob i mean, it seems to be A Big Deal in modern tetris and im not sure why
whats a four-wide
@skelly@redroo.ml is that a bad thing necessarily

Amazon anti-unionization efforts, twitter link (San Diego Socialist Rifle Association)
https://twitter.com/SanDiegoSRA/status/1351679076545687553
"Amazon has put up this anti unionization propaganda website. Whatever you do, DO NOT flood their “contact us” page with random memes and spam."
That site is https://www.doitwithoutdues.com/
Remember, absolutely do not include phrases such as "my co-workers were talking about unionizing" and "I found this flyer in my warehouse" as they may cause their algorithms to flag your submission for review by a person instead of an algorithm.
