Today in Labor History May 31, 1905: The Spanish anarchist Alexander Farras threw a bomb into a procession headed by French President Loubet and the King Alphonso XIII of Spain. The leaders were not hurt, though several people were wounded. Farras was never caught. Four other anarchists were arrested, tried and acquitted. Then, the following year, again on May 31, anarchist Mateo Morral made another attempt on King Alphonso XIII. He hid a bomb in a bunch of flowers and threw it at the King during his royal wedding. Because he worked in the anarchist Modern School’s publishing house and was a friend of Francisco Ferrer (the founder of the first Modern Schools), Ferrer was later arrested and imprisoned as an accomplice.

Today in Labor History May 11, 1878: Emil Heinrich Maximilian Hoedel, a 21-year-old anarchist, shot Emperor Guillaume I of Prussia in order to publicize the plight of the workers. The monarch survived. Hoedel was beheaded two months later. As he prepared to die, he shouted, "Vive la commune."

En d'autres nouvelles, j'ai testé le jeu Régicide ce weekend avec l'app companion (donc gratuit si on a un jeu de 54 cartes) et bien c'est sympa et difficile

Autant à deux qu'à 1 :D

#jeudecarte #jeudesociete #regicide

played two rounds of an intense co-op card game called #Regicide

it's a lot of maths, it's so much fun and it makes you immediately want to play again

that being said, two rounds with my cold, fever and fuzzy mind wiped me out

and as the lovely person i was playing with noticed, we play in English but we always count / do maths in our mother tongues ^^

another great thing about it is that anyone can play it with a regular deck: https://www.regicidegame.com/how-to-play/
