Elizabeth Gurley Flynn was born in 1890 in Concord, New Hampshire, to a radical, activist working-class family. When she was 10, the family moved to the South Bronx, where she attended public school. By the time she was 15, Flynn was active in socialist groups. At 15, she gave her first public speech, and the next year she was expelled from high school. She became a full-time organizer for the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).
In the years leading up to World War I, Flynn was active on women's rights, free speech for IWW speakers and organizing textile strikes in places like Lawrence, Massachusetts, and Paterson, New Jersey. She also worked to organize garment workers in Pennsylvania, silk weavers in New Jersey, restaurant workers in New York City and miners in Minnesota.
Flynn opposed the war when it broke out, and like many war opponents, she was charged with espionage. The charges were dropped and Flynn began working to defend immigrants threatened with deportation for their opposition to the war.
In 1920, Flynn helped found the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and was elected to the national board. From 1927-1930, she chaired International Labor Defense. During that time she was active in trying to free jailed labor organizers Thomas J. Mooney and Warren K. Billings. For the first half of the 1930s, she withdrew from public life because of bad health, but she returned to public life in 1939 and was re-elected to the ACLU board. When Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin signed a nonagression pact, the ACLU expelled all Communist Party members from its ranks, including Flynn.
Flynn ran for the Communist Party of America's Central Committee successfully, and ran for a seat in Congress unsuccessfully. During World War II, Flynn fought for women's economic equality. After the war, as communism grew more unpopular in the United States, Flynn shifted back to defending free speech rights for radicals. In 1951, she was arrested for conspiracy to overthrow the government based on the Smith Act of 1940. She spent more than two years in prison.
She returned to political action once she was out of prison, and in 1961, she became the first woman elected national chair of the Communist Pary. A critic of the Soviet Union, Flynn traveled behind the Iron Curtain and was stricken ill. She died in the USSR and was given a state funeral in Red Square.

i still will not interact with twitch, but a youtube video of a bald man playing yet another roguelite will hold my attention over my work tasks

It fucking sucks that I canβt play Victoria 3 or Hearts of Iron 4 on my new laptop. It has 32 GB of RAM but only a crappy integrated graphics card.

There should be a version of that goldbug NATIONAL DEBT website but it counts how much money is owed to indigenous peoples. Like start by just counting up all that property tax since the 1500s. It would be such a huge number, and it wouldn't even scratch the surface

Have we matured enough as a culture that we can admit to ourselves that 100 gecs was bad both ironically and unironically. As in it was just bad.

I want to make a formal study of mod teams and release schedules to affirm my absolutely correct belief that releasing less finished projects more often self-perpetuates more sustainably than really polishing the shit out of your project before landmark releases
i think people are scared of people forking the project before the original team gets totally done with it but there's several examples of the bones of a fairly early release being the only thing the first team ever gets done, which have gotten finished (not in the original vision) later by others. it also attracts new blood, it's really hard to retain and keep momentum long term on a volunteer project, you need to get new talent occasionally and there's no stronger recruitment call than putting out something people can enjoy
yes this is me being bitter about a few mods taking way too long to release
the holy grail of this, so to speak, is when submods for a release are in-line and high quality enough to just get integrated, sometimes you get the developer too
It is kind of wild how mad right wingers are about super hero slop, when the villain is literally always some take on a left wing ideology. Whether that be environmentalism, decolonialism, anarchism or anti-capitalism. It's not even that superheroes are defending the status quo, it's that they're always defending the status quo from moving left.
okay I still like Abiotic Factor (we just got to the hydroplant area) but jesus christ there are too many fucking things that use rebar and not enough of it. and the renewable ways I've found so far are really tedious (some of it spawns in a train portal world, so that's like, 8 or whatever rebar every few in-game days, which is nothing. The alternative is trading anomalies to the blacksmith but that's also tedious)
I need like 27 billion rebar for the fucking ammo for everything. I made a magnetic crossbow thinking it would free me from making grinder discs but no, it takes rebar too!
at least i have an energy pistol but man it runs out of battery fast and then I'm just sitting there cranking my hog trying to recharge it

A few days ago when it was raining - a window in my living room started leaking. My landlady has done zilch. I talked to her today face-to-face and she really pissed me off. She said stuff like "What do you want me to do?" In my head I had a filmic reply "Oh, I don't know - fix the fucking leak?" When I was young I wouldn't have used swear words but had a bad temper so I would have been obnoxious. Imagine John Podhoretz loudly complaining about the specifics of his incorrect pastrami sandwich. "Waiter - this is not what I ordered!"
But I lived in Japan and I'm not young anymore so my reply was the very measured "I don't know." and then I made some pregnant pauses. Long story short - my mature technic seems to have worked. An apparently qualified roof guy is apparently coming soon.
She said stuff like "What do you want me to do?"
lol what kind of shit is that? "Hire a fucking guy to fix your fucking property before it, and shit that I own, is irreparably damaged?"
the absolutely worst qualified people to own shit are the ones who own shit, I swear to christ, fuck. how hard is it to realize "oh, I take THEIR RENT, and then I use it to UPKEEP THE PROPERTY" that's literally the extent of a landlord's goddamn "job"
literally every single thing these intrepid "housing providers" do can be done by a money shredder hooked up to an LLM
the absolutely worst qualified people to own shit are the ones who own shit
Ain't it the truth. I wonder what her "logic" was. By and large - a tiny leak that appears at the tail end of a heavy thunderstorm is lucky. It's a signal that something is wrong - perhaps very wrong. Things could have been a lot worse. I'm a big believer in Murphy's Law. Maybe the repair is relatively minor. In any case - a knowledgeable person needs to come and have look. It's destructive to delay that. And the problem will not magically fix itself.
