Until It's Done: Sylvia Rivera
YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC Until It's Done: Sylvia Rivera

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

I clocked this behavior last time I flew -- on a completely full flight -- but didn't quite have the gumption to call the guy en-plane-ing in front of me out on it.

It can be excusable if one waits until after takeoff and then discovers that there's still bin space to allow it.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

Nice to spend a reasonable amount on an e-bikeshare rental instead of how exorbitant Citi e-bikes have become even for members.

And this includes a few minutes' of time where I just reserved the bike and hadn't walked up to it yet!

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Even if the figure in rattling around in this numbskull's head was a worldwide figure, not US-specific, it's probably 600,000-700,000 deaths worldwide.

A mid-2024 UN report estimates ~292 million illicit drug *users* worldwide, with cannabis standing at ~228MM of that. news.un.org/en/story/202...

Charlie Kirk: Joe Biden should be "put in prison and/or given the death penalty for crimes against America"

I hadn’t seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed.

Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing.

Both sides!

Just would take a constitutional amendment to allow it.

There was some loose talk of this in the early aughts when Schwarzenegger was a pretty effective Republican governor of CA but would not have been eligible for a POTUS run due to Austrian nativity.
