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.

If they wanted to find places where computers can actually help and focus on those it might be one thing. This insistence on putting this absolute bullshit in EVERY APP without letting us opt out instead makes me hope the entire industry gets punted into the sun.

A tweet from @ZackKorman that says “Copilot in Excel is a global financial crisis waiting to happen.” and shows a spreadsheet where co-pilot has been asked to add 1+2+3 and returned the answer 15

I will not be attempting to recreate this myself but also this could not be a more perfect example of why every AI advance makes me feel unmoored in space & time

Tech: “We’ve invented a way for Excel to add numbers!!!!!!!” *dumps trillions into this failed technology and the data centers to run it*

Like is there a point when they restart serving beer because like why the fuck not

My foot is vibrating is if I were feeling my cell phone ring through it. My cell phone is not ringing or even in my pocket. Is the floor ringing? Or is phantom phone syndrome spreading to my entire body?

Anyway I suspect deep social media bankruptcy from here until the end of the weekend.

Oh well I mean I think about 8 years really

Pretty sure

I mean….yes? All historical fiction is. RPF is SO mainstream. This is why people looking as askance at RPF fic as they do is so absurd.

If the world could stop being a shit merry-go-round for like ONE day that would be just amazing.

Yes 10 years is a shorter time at this point lol

Anyone used Tello to port a US number to use abroad? If so, thoughts? If you’ve done something else to keep a US number while living abroad that is not simply paying for roaming, do you want to sell me on that method instead?

The Scissor Sisters’ instagram account reposting an Attitude Mag story that is a picture of Del, Jake, and Babydaddy with the text: “‘Babydaddy is moving to London. Make of that what you will' - Scissor Sisters tease new music after Attitude Awards 2025 win”

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

I mean at that price? It better be included

I might pay $1400 to get to play around on the set tho

I mean to be fair some of it is in French

Also I realized I hadn’t ever looked up what Godot fic there was and…there sure is some fic.

I SURE WAS LOLOLOL

WAIT WERE YOU THERE TONIGHT

“Reeves also participated in Second City workshops in Toronto and Los Angeles and performed in Toronto's Theatresports, where he had the privilege of being on a team losing to The Kids in the Hall in 1982.”

This part is also very good.

A Playbill bio page with the banner “WHO'S WHO” on top and underneath: “KEANU REEVES (Estragon) attended the Toronto High School for the Performing Arts in 1980 as a junior.“

Is this the funniest possible way his Playbill bio could have started? I say yes.

I think @courtneymilan.com has some helpful threads when you feel ready. But it may depend on whether the copyright is registered here?

Also: I’m so sorry.

Just got stressed the fuck out by a post saying October is running out

We are one week into the month

Like literally

Which of my local handsomes want to see Fortune Feimster at the Beacon?

I am at a loss about what to do about browsers. Is there ANY option?

Though my position is not that we need a two-state solution. But I don’t think “this is a last resort option” is really a big ding at this particular juncture.

The US feels like it’s at the last resort line too.

It feels to me like we are very much in last resort territory. I’m desperate for us to find a way that *can actually happen* at this point.

It feels generational. I want words most of the time. If I sit down to watch video, I want full episodes, not reels. And if I am going to watch a reel I want it captioned.

Anyway I suppose I am consigned to the dustbin of history.

Love a late night plumbing emergency in someone else’s home.

It’s the most 2025 it could be up in here.

I’ve just realized Halloween is on a Friday this year. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
