Listened to this at 6 minutes in or so. It’s not directly stated, but it appears the reason that Mamdani has not directed H+H to absorb trans patients is out of fear of the federal government. β€œIt’s part of the game we have to play with the federal government .”

It’s the EXACT logic NYU is using.

my partner said one of his younger, college-age workers was talking about how they didn't like their electric toothbrush and were thinking about switching back to "an acoustic one" and I can not stop thinking about it

5 panel page. 

A creature roars and narrowly misses a superhero lady. She seems concerned. Two superhero ladies follow the creature as a superhero man receives a call. He turns as he listens and responds as he runs after the other heroes.

MASSIVELY resent struggling to find the meaning in some turgid, repetitive text only to realize it's "A.i." bullshit that no one wrote and that contains no meaning.

Fuck billionaire-owned "A.i." companies forever for WASTING MY TIME, which means STEALING FROM MY ACTUAL LIFE.

Today is my birthday. I'm gonna eat crap and enjoy things I like. I may regret it tomorrow but that's what tomorrow is for.

Anyway, do me a favor:

Listen to Black women.
Be kind, not nice.
Protect all lgbtqa kids.
Be good to yourself.
Drink more water.
Read a good yuri manga.
Use alt text.

And what we white Americans love nearly as much as we do Buffalo Wild Wings and our own asses as white as hardboiled eggs is a white redemption story. It’s our national narrative after all. White people did bad things long ago but white people fixed those things. We’re all better now.

This sort of gesture, to release what many have wanted for decades and give all the proceeds to your late comrade's charity, that is friendship.

My take? The music we now call hair metal had a ton of female fans. The vocal range to sing along to it works for most of them. If you’re a dude it’s harder. In the 90s the style with more male fans is taken seriously & female fans are read as unserious & uncool.
