The Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) was established on this day in 1919. CPUSA provided legal aid to the Scottsboro Boys, helped poor Southern farmers form sharecropper unions, and promoted communist ideas within the U.S.

The party was established after a split in the Socialist Party of America following the Russian Revolution, and initially operated underground due to the Palmer Raids, a series of anti-immigrant, anti-labor, and anti-communist raids conducted by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer.

CPUSA was an early opponent of segregation and racial discrimination, giving legal aid to the Scottsboro Boys and helping poor black farmers in the South organize sharecropper unions. Because of this, the party had a strong presence in Alabama in the 1930s. This history is detailed in "Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists during the Great Depression" by historian Robin D.G. Kelley.

Im worried the other cooks are gonna think i'm a mega wuss and resent me for leaving them my work to do because i'm not working today because my thumb kept bleeding a little through the stitches all day yesterday and I feel like i should not be moving it so much if it's doing that. And my friend was like, yeah, they will, and described a slew of fucked up kitchen injuries she's seen people just work through.

Idk seems kinda stupid and toxic to me, I was told don't do gym stuff like pushups for 4 days, I think 10 hours of cooking shit is probably more strenuous on my thumb than that. And Id probably still work with it but it's this big flap wound covering the entire knuckle so every movement is separating the skin

I hope people don't stop helping me with stuff because i still need a lot of help getting everything done. I literally don't know what i could be doing differently sometimes other than being in two places at once. I can't cook beef for philly cheesesteaks on the flattop grill while chopping more tofu because we ran out (i made the quantity I was told to make!) while dropping fries in the fryer because by the time I throw all the beef on the grill I need to be breaking up the first bits or it'll start to burn and if i turn it down and cook it any slower we'll run out of beef

Bidets are anti-working class. A bidet turns a 10-15 minute shit into a 1-2 minute one. That's almost 10 minutes of time you're giving back to your boss instead of spending it looking at your phone.

tiktok has been trying to organize a general one day strike that starts and ends today but possibly goes on indefinitely. they're mad that everyone is telling them that a general strike can't work without

  • mutual aid
  • unions
  • any form of organizing at all

I was going to say Sea of Stars is pretty good, but I just got to a pirate that's super self-aware that it's a video game and referencing tropes (and calling them that), which is just pissing me off. The game is not well-written enough to get away with this and the rest of it didn't really set this up at all. This goober aside, the game's a little too twee for my tastes, but if you like to maximize your comfycore, it might be nice.

The sound and art is really well done though. Gamefeel is nice, it's responsive, movement is quick, and the battles are definitely working and have some sauce. If you like Chrono-Trigger's trappings, this might scratch an itch.

Writing's pretty uninteresting though.

Starfield ending is the most game twisting ending ever since Nier Automata

spoilerAt the end of the game, you can choose NG+. After choosing ng+, you will hear "hey you're finally awake" and find yourself in a cart otw be executed in Helgen among with stormcloaks including the infamous Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak who killed the High King with a shout. You will then thrust into the open world after the dragon attacks helgen.

Todd Howard is a fucking genius.

Why does it feel like ages since I heard a reference to "sexism"? Is it outdated as a concept, people just got exhausted with it, or what? I can barely remember what it means lol
