Donna Lee Parsons isn’t particularly well-known in hardcore/punk circles, but she should be. She played a pivotal role in rock history. Before she transitioned, she founded Rat Cage Records, a record label that released the Beastie Boys’ first two EPs; she signed them at their very first show. Twenty years later, after Parsons came out as trans and the band’s meteoric rise to fame, the artists quietly paid for Parson’s gender affirmation surgery. According to member Adam Horovitz, since the men knew she wouldn’t accept the money if she saw it as a charitable act, they claimed they owed her royalties from their EP Polly Wog Stew.

So if you’ve ever worn a ‘lightning bolt’ t-shirt or listened to Victim in Pain or found yourself fondly recalling a Beastie Boys show you went to, you have a transgender woman to thank for that. And we should know her story. If you call yourself a hardcore kid, Donna Lee Parsons touched your life.
in a rare L, jaboukie is so so so wrong about this.
I don't think these 2 points contradict each other as much as you think
You go to a gentrified artisan burger joint and there's a burger called "The Budd Dwyer" for 14$
And if you don’t say you want it with “the works” they give you nothing but a crusty burger on a brioche bun that’s mashed to atoms with your first handling of it. Now, I ain’t one of them fancy-ass city folk you youngin’s are talkin’ about but I think I might know a thing or two about good country cookin’ and that just ain’t it. Keep your brioche. Keep your Dwyer. I’ll just take a Bud and head on down to the pasture, gnaw on a cow down there. That’s good country livin.
Love where you're taking this joke, but you should Google Bud Dwyer.
I’m tired.
At least he was an organ donor.

Why do 3.5 inch floppy disks seem so much more pleasant and edible than the 5.25 inch ones?
cause they are.
5.25″ and 8″ disks were designed by IBM engineers who wouldn’t know good consumer good design if it bit them on the cock. They designed shit for Men With Short Hair And Pocket Protectors who did Important Work at like Raytheon or something.
The 3.5″ was designed by Sony, who had been building appliances for the home since the 40s. They designed TVs and radios and the Walkman: They knew how to design a pleasant object to use in the home, and they understood all the sort of design choices that entails!
It needs to be pleasant to look at, it needs to be sturdy so it can handle being dropped and stuffed into bags, and it needs to not look too “computery” to scare off the non-technical users. The 3.5″ floppy disk is an example of all those design goals applied to the overly-computery floppy disk, and they knocked it out of the park. The 3.5″ disk is very touchable, because it was designed to be from the beginning. They expected people to handle them, because that’s what stuff for the home is supposed to be. It’s a thing like a credit card, you can pick it up and play with it or stick it in your pocket or purse and it can just deal with that, because it is designed to be used by humans, as part of their everyday life. The older floppies are just some computer stuff designed to be used by trained technicians who knew how to handle it delicately and not damage it.
