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.

Anyway, this Oatmeal comic did a much better job of putting my thoughts about AI into words than I ever could:

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Huh. Even more interesting. I guess it might just be a consolidation of production. Similar to that of Octopi maybe? A pseudo-contract brewery type deal.

Makes sense. BP also has (had?) their Dubuque location as well. And they had a pretty substantial building in Iowa City as well. I wonder what their fates will be?

I was never a big fan of their beers personally, but I'll be interested to see what SS does with them. Wooden Nickel was a solid Dunkle

Eric Hild @kingofthehild.bsky.social · 5d

Interesting. 🤔 What happened to BP? I know PT folded and got acquired by BP. I didn't realize the BP was also doing that poorly.

I'm glad Singlespeed is able to keep the brands afloat, but if they failed, are they really brands that people are looking to drink?🤔🤷‍♂️

Curious to see how they do!

I recommend Qobuz! I've been enjoying the experience so far. Of course it's not as robust as Spotify ATM, but I personally haven't had any issues with it!
It even allows you to transfer your Spotify library over (so long as they albums/songs are available). Definitely check it out if you're looking
