18 years ago this week I published an album called A Model Psychosis to coincide with the 100th birthday of its living subject, Swiss chemist #AlbertHofmann, best known for his "problem child" #LSD.
Then 7 years later on the same date open culture prodigy and martyr #AaronSwartz was driven to suicide by the Obama administration.
Jan 11th will make history again this Thursday when a legal delegation from South Africa goes to The Hague to present the evidence of the Israeli government genociding the Palestinian people.
Today in Labor History November 16, 1938: LSD was first synthesized by Albert Hofmann at the Sandoz Laboratories in Basel. Within a couple decades, the working class finally had access to inexpensive trips.
