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.

I acquired Starfield using "extralegal" means

God this game runs like dogshit my gpu is kinda a little below recommended spec but i literally cannot get 60 fps on 1080p Even on the lowest settings with render scale all the way down

Gpu usage is up 100% while cpu is hovering around 20

Something is very very wrong

Cyberpunk ran better for me at launch even before my cpu upgrade

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
