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.

$47. And that’s if the government isn’t lying about the interest rate. Plus, they will have to prove she intentionally schemed to swindle $47 from the bank - as opposed to just not knowing the difference between a second home and an investment property. Good luck, Lindsay.

The grand jury indictment against New York AG Letitia James accuses her of receiving a lower-cost loan on a home she purchased.

James saved only about $50 a month with lower interest rate, the indictment alleges.

Isn’t it funny when someone says that gen AI isn’t so bad, it’s not *their* job that they’re qualifying as “menial labor.”

A question that I'm often asked goes something like, "Is it great to create content that shows girls how strong they can be?" YES. It is an honor to have girls who read my books or watch my shows to feel empowered. But...
IT'S EQUALLY IMPORTANT FOR BOYS TO SEE GIRLS AS MAIN CHARACTERS TOO.

🧵:
The world’s extremely poor are also often extremely remote, with limited access to healthcare & health education. In many developing countries, the government—often with the help of the UN and, until this year, USAID—maintains health posts that bring these services to people living off the grid.

My therapist has to remind me constantly that just because I'm anxious something may happen doesn't necessarily mean it will.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

this psd? I don’t even have photoshop and the file’s so big!” Download it anyway. In a year, you may need to make a tiny change but the original artist is on sabbatical to Bora Bora and no one can do anything with that idiotic jpg you did download. Download the files.
