Théophile Ferré was a leader of the Paris Commune who was executed by the French government on this day in 1871. Ferré personally authorized the execution of the archbishop of Paris and was the first of 25 Communards to be executed.
Little is known about Ferré’s early life, before his participation in the Paris Commune. After Paris was seized by revolutionaries in March 1871, Ferré served on the Commune’s Committee of Public Safety, a body given extensive powers to hunt down enemies of the Commune.
On April 5th, the Commune passed a decree that authorized the arrest of any person thought to be loyal to the French government in Versailles, to be held as hostages. Prominent figures arrested included a Catholic priest Georges Darboy and the archbishop of Paris. The Commune hoped to exchange their hostages for Louis-Auguste Blanqui, a revolutionary and honorary President of the Commune, imprisoned by the state.
Following the events of the “Bloody Week”, in which the French government summarily executed many suspected Communards, Ferré authorized the execution of several hostages, including Darboy and the archbishop.
After the resistance of the Commune collapsed, Ferré was captured by the army, tried by a military court, and sentenced to death. On November 28th, 1871, he was shot at Satory, an army camp southwest of Versailles. He was the first of twenty-five Communards to be executed for their role in the Paris Commune.

I thought I had removed Disco Elysium from my steam library in protest of the take-over of the company, but apparently I actually just bought it on GOG and forgot that GOG existed.
Everyone makes fun of the people who want to burn it all down, but nobody has a good reason why people shouldn’t want to.
@ Larian let me romance Jaheira you cowards.
My preferences with BG3 companions are like Shadowheart >> Jaheira >>>>> everyone else but I can’t date druid elf mommy so I guess we’re dating Shadowheart again on our Tactician run. Love Karlach as a character but don’t find her too attractive, same with Lae’zel. Minthara is just… too evil. Maybe I’ll try Wyll, I’m not too into men but that dancing scene at the beach is so freaking cute I might make an exception.
Feeling like a dumbass right now for some reason
Giggling like a dumbass at the
intro about JT’s old maga neighbors seeing Das Kapital on his bookshelf and being like “damn, this guy’s reading about German geography, weird!” and “the Germans have a whole book about capital letters?? What about Das Lowercase?”
I’ve found out that ‘it’s another day in a war that never ends’ and ‘I remember colors but all I see now is grey’ as well as ‘imagine getting on a bus and the driver is weeping’ are not the best replies to ‘how’s it going?’
so why don’t folks make multigenerational stories anymore?
(obviously they still do, but it was more common in the past)
Arcane, for all its really really really good, telling this story of class, imperialism… it probably needed a longer period to cook and deserved a more complex family dynamic than parent-child.
I had looked forward to november as the second month of the year I would get 3 semi-weekly paychecks instead of the usual 2. Well joke’s on me because I pulled in my smallest check since I started working at the box factory. Looking at two weeks of pay and it’s less than my monthly rent and it feels bad man.
Playing a show on the 7th for the first time in forever. It’d a friend’s solo noise project that I’ll be helping on some knobs n dials. It’s all harsh noise and stuff but a pretty sick lineup for that. I wanna make industrial Italian Disco, he’s doing this:
The Purge but it’s for revisionists
Everyone should check out my Hostage Life list in the music thingy. Saw em in like 2005 and then picked up.the album and gotta say 20 ish years later, it’s the best and most working class pop punk album ever and holy shit if you hate your boss is it cathartic.
Started back up watching Scavenger’s Reign with my dad. He’s super into it actually and that rocks. Maybe this is how I can get him to watch an anime.
Show is super good by the way. You should watch it if you’ve not.
Anyone wanna start a dojo and then we can be rival dojos? I don’t know any martial arts and will for sure not teach my students well, and if you promise to do the same we could have awese street brawls and sometimes attack each other’s dojos. I’ve seen enough Kung fu movies to know this would be a fucking awesome way to live and I guess anyone can just open up a martial arts dojo regardless of martial arts knowledge.
