it would probably be sorta hard for just anyone to do it *this well* because it requires you to actually be normal about trans people, but still it feels important to state for the record that WE ARE NOT HARD TO STAND UP FOR AND ANY OF THEM COULD DO IT.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

I wish to see more journalists doing what @hellgatenyc.com and @404media.co are doing and fewer doing the solo patreon route. I want to pay a collective for my news not one person. Seems like a successful model.

i think one of the most important "will this place be filled with red flags?" questions you can ask when interviewing for a job is whether the CEO regularly goes to burning man.

"We have a cat and a dog and a child and an adult in the same room," he said. "Why not an A.I.?
In preparation for the campaign's Aug. 25
launch in New York, Mr. Schiffmann headed to Burning Man, without an internet connection. The overlap was intentional. "I wanted to do the coolest thing I could possibly do and the biggest thing I could possibly do at the same time," he said. "In the spirit of life-maxing."

It really is incredible just how bad most software is now. I don't labor under the delusion that there was ever a Golden Age of software, but it's gotten bad enough that more-or-less the main feature I look for in any software product now is that it's not fundamentally broken
