Yellen to unveil first U.S. currency with her signature
"Some U.S. currency will look a bit different next year. At a Texas facility treasury secretary Janet Yellen held up a newly minted $5 bill with her signature and that of U.S. treasurer Lin malerba. The first time the signatures of two women will be on our currency. The new notes will go into circulation next year. An audio provided by the Treasury Department, Yellen joked about the bad handwriting of some male predecessors, particularly Jack Liu, who had to redo a signature that looked like a series of loops and put a new, more legible version on currency. I will admit, I spent some quality time practicing my signature before submitting it. Sagar Meghani, Washington

Meghan Markle Is Out for Asian Justice on Her Podcast
"May again Markle hopped on her podcast today and decided to call some people out. So in a return to her Spotify podcast, archetypes, worst title ever, she takes on one of the most prominent stereotypes of Asian women on screen, the dragon lady. She said, movies like Austin Powers and kill Bill. They presented these caricatures of women of Asian descent as over centralized or aggressive. She's talking about fuku and fuk me in Austin Powers goldmember and Lucy Liu's hyper violent already she until Bill. She said that such characterizations go at least as far back as 1924 when Anna May Wong played a scheming Mongol slave opposite Douglas Fairbanks in the thief of Baghdad, okay? I wonder how she felt about Mickey Rooney playing mister yunioshi in breakfast at Tiffany's. Or even David Carradine playing Mark kwai Chang Caine in Kung fu. But Meghan Markle maintained that this toxic stereotyping of women of Asian descent. This doesn't just end once the credits roll. Oh, she feels everybody's pain. As a case in point, she introduces sociologist Nancy Wang yoon, who wrote about the dragon lady stereotype in her book real inequality, real with two E's. Everything is equality, equity, inclusion, you and told the story of being catcalled by a man using a line out of full metal jacket while she was traveling to an academic conference. She said, I myself have been proposition in an airport in Atlanta of all places by a stranger who said me so horny. He just yelled it out to me. Now at this point, this podcast should be a fun podcast. Who doesn't laugh at me so horny? She said, I knew why because I looked around and I thought, and I saw that I was the only Asian woman in that area. I knew he was talking to me, even though I don't even know if he ever saw full metal jacket. Okay, listen to me, honey. So because one idiot quoted a line from a film by maybe the greatest director of all time. Therefore, that makes full metal jacket a bad movie.

"For me to introduce you to the incredible scene loon Liu That was a big moment for the Chinese Canadian actor Simu Liu When he was introduced as marvel's first Asian superhero Kung fu master Shang-Chi Now the young actor has a new memoir about his journey from his native China to Canadian immigrant to fail to accountant to successful superhero actor As he writes the journey wasn't always easy Simu often clashed with his strict hardworking Chinese parents who put a lot of pressure on him to be successful His new memoir is called we were dreamers an immigrant superhero origin story and Simu Liu welcome to here and now Great to have you Oh my goodness thank you so much Well there's a lot in this book about your parents I want to ask you about them They grew up in China They came of age during Mao's cultural revolution So tell us something about how they grew up in the lives they lived growing up My parents were born in the late 50s early 60s So they were teenagers at the time that the cultural revolution was in full effect And so one of the main things that happened around this time was the government shuttered universities all across the country So the path was you would go to high school and then students would go off into the fields to basically learn the value of hard labor My dad was about 16 17 my mom actually graduated and then went off to the fields for two years There was no guarantee that they would be able to continue their education and through that education be able to achieve upward social mobility But then in 1976 mile passed away And Mao's successor immediately restored the university entrance exams and restored universities all across the country So then my parents both managed to get offers to the same university where they would later meet and fall in love and marry But they were competing against not only their own cohort but ten years worth of applicants who had been deprived of a post secondary education And so it must have been a lot of pent up demand there Yeah right The national acceptance rate was something like you know in a single digits And it was those odds that my parents were able to overcome just to be able to get that education which they then completed and then we're working in China when another dream kind of incepted into their minds this idea of immigrating and exploring life in a totally new environment So they come to Canada They end up getting jobs as engineers They left you behind for a while to be raised by your grandparents you eventually join your parents in Canada but life wasn't easy And I want to play a little bit more sound from your Comic-Con experience there in 2018 where you talk about your parents a little bit Let's listen to what you said My.

Man Killed During Traffic Stop in Grand Rapids, MI
"Right now, is a real mess. And it centers around the police shooting of a 26 year old named Patrick la loya. Here's a report on what's happening in Grand Rapids, Michigan, from WDIV, local four in Michigan. Another African American man has died as a result of the use of lethal force with the interaction of law enforcement. 9 days after Patrick Leo was shot and killed during a traffic stop, Grand Rapids police releasing the video showing the deadly confrontation. 20 minutes of video, some of it too graphic to show. It's a protesters gathering outside the Grand Rapids police department tonight calling for the officer who shot and killed 26 year old Patrick Leigh oya to be charged in his death. The entire case is been turned over to Michigan state police. Our Martin McDonald is live downtown tonight Mara. Law enforcement veterans say the investigation is going to take a while. That's right, Kimberly and here's why, because there are multiple videos from multiple angles of what happened that morning. There are multiple witnesses and then you add on top of that, the confrontation between these two men before that fatal shot was fired. There's a lot to unpack here. It's just after 8 a.m. on April 4th when the 7 year veteran of the Grand Rapids police department to the GRP is not identifying, pulls Patrick Leo ya over for having the wrong plate on the vehicle. Stay in the car. Leo, a Congolese immigrant exits the car and doesn't follow the officer's orders to stay in the car. Liu ya tries to run, a chase and struggle go on for two minutes.

"It was the first weekend in April. Two years after mom's death. Susan was out of town on one of her endless trips as a management consultant and I was home, lazily flipping through the TV channels. I paused at a documentary about sharks. Suddenly I saw in my mind, mom's hands, as they folded and refolded tinfoil to make a shark from me. While Lao Hu and I watched. A Russell. I looked up and saw that a ball of wrapping paper and torn tape was on the floor next to the bookshelf. I walked over to pick it the trash. The ball of paper shifted, unfurled itself, and I saw that it was Lao Hu, who I hadn't thought about in a very long time. Mom must have put him back together after I had given up. He was smaller than I remembered, or maybe it was just that back then my fists were smaller. Susan had put the paper animals around our apartment as decoration. She probably left thou who in a pretty hidden corner because he looks so shabby. I sat down on the floor and reached out a finger. Lao hoo's tail, twitched, and he pounced playfully. I laughed, stroking his back. Under my hand. How have you been old buddy? Now her stopped playing. He got up, jumped with feline grace into my lap, and proceeded to unfold himself. In my lap was a square of creased wrapping paper, the plain side of it was filled with dense Chinese characters. I had never learned to read Chinese, but I knew the characters for sun, and they were at the top, where you'd expect them in a letter addressed to you, written in mom's awkward childish handwriting. I went to the computer to check the Internet. Today was Qing Ming. I took the letter with me downtown, where I knew the Chinese tour buses stopped. I stopped every tourist asking neem hue do so. Can you read Chinese? I hadn't spoken Chinese in so long that I wasn't sure if they understood. A young woman agreed to help. We sat down on a bench together, and she read the letter to me aloud. The language that I had tried to forget for years came back. And I felt the words sinking into me. Through my skin, through my bones until they squeezed tight around my heart. Son. We haven't talked in a long time. You are so angry when I try to touch you that I'm afraid. And I think maybe this pain I feel all the time now is something serious. So I decided to write to you. I'm going to write in the paper animals I made for you that you used to like so much. The animals will stop moving when I stop breathing, but if I write to you with all my heart, I'll leave a little of myself behind on this paper. In these words, then if you think of me on Qing when the spirits of the departed are allowed to visit their families, you'll make the parts of myself I leave behind come alive too. The creatures I made for you will again leap and run and pounce, and maybe you'll get to see these words then. Because I have to write with all my heart, I need to write to you in Chinese. All this time, I still haven't told you the story of my life. When you were little, I always thought I'd tell you the story when you were older, so you could understand, but somehow that chance never came up. I was born in 1957 in sir Liu village, her province. Your grandparents were both from very poor peasant families, with few relatives. Only a few years after I was born, the great famines struck China. During which 30 million people died, the first memory I have was waking up to see my mother eating dirt so that she could fill her belly, and leave the last bit of flour for me. Things got better after that. Is famous for its paper craft. And my mother taught me how to make paper animals and give them life. This was practical magic in the life of the village. We made paper birds to chase grasshoppers away from the fields, and paper tigers, to keep away the mice. For Chinese New Year, my friends and I made red paper dragons. I'll never forget the sight of all those little dragons zooming across the sky overhead, holding up strings of exploding firecrackers to scare away all the bad memories of the past year. You would have loved it..

"And where i am but being here like i don't really have any friends right now since of kovic being here everything's been on zoom but i'm trying to get out there now make friends and try to keep making connections. What are you studying in school right. Now i'm studying to be an environmental engineer. Nice good for you. So on a scale of one to ten. What is your desire of being in a relationship. I think now. I wanna see myself. Were being on myself a little bit more. I guess that's kind of what i wanted was outside perspective and kind of advice his. I've been thinking lately. Do i want to take you to think of myself or being a relationship. I know that i could be on my own but relationship wise. I think recently like six or seven. Like i still want that intimacy but i kinda want to learn more to be on my own but i guess i'm kind of like this whole big grey zone from what i'm gathering maybe sleeping with a bunch of people doesn't emotionally satisfy you. I am curious about what you learned about yourself. During those experiences. During that time. I think i learned more about my sexuality in terms of it being on my own time and more about i think loving myself after my first relationship it really kinda scarred me and i think that kind of may have went down. The road of how other relationships were really really bad. So i don't know if it was more of just exploratory afterwards or just to have fun. But i think it kind of made me learn more about the world more about myself more about other people. I would say probably loving myself more. Because i think during that time i did it myself. I think that april taught me to really think about the environment that we were raised in. And how our parents communicated and what patterns we we witnessed and then absorbed and then you know duplicated aiden. Can i ask you a question. What do you mean by you. Want a structured relationship. What does that mean. I guess it means for me someone who is willing to build something with me in terms of relationship. I think it's more for me as somebody who's gonna be there when i could be there so you know. I'm so busy with college and work. I can't be there twenty four seven and i wanna be able to find somebody who's going to kind of put in time to work on themselves with me and you know. Make sure that that time was kind of at the same point in a perfect and when you set up those boundaries with the people you dated prior or you said look. This is what i'm looking for. And you said that often times the intimacy moves too quickly even though you stated your boundaries. Can you tell us a little bit more about that. Yeah so i think for a while. I didn't stay at all only because i was scared of abandonment rejection. That's like my biggest thing. I have that. I'm still dealing with. But i would say more recently in the last few months. I've been very clear of what i've wanted and stating that you know friends with benefits sexism just for me and for some reason. I don't know if it's just. Because i kind of fall into like my friends. And i quote like the dick sand. It's kind of like quicksand for guys. Yeah it's to be single. Basically it's like for some reason if somebody gives you know any attention like kinda tend to be a little bit more attentive to them and kind of you know not fall in love but tend to like them a little bit more. So i think maybe that has something to do with the end. I try not to. I try not to the last two but it seems to be that. It wasn't just a intimacy that they were giving. It wasn't just exodus all sorts of intimacy excellent on all levels and just felt..

I had a similar experience on mom my character christie. My line was something about getting gypped which is a term that derogatory. Yeah that's hurtful. It was a big deal in my university. Actually but i was met with a ton of resistance but kind of the only time that i was courageous enough. I think to be like let's really check. Culture leave we can. Yeah it's so incredibly hard to be that person. And i'm not trying to throw anybody else in the bus but i was in a situation where nobody stepped up for me right and so it was just. I don't know what happened in your case but New yeah i was met with total confusion and then people were. I think a little offended that. I was suggesting something that hadn't occurred to them. Then there was sort of this stubborn obstinance like no. You're not writing the so fascinating. 'cause i mean i was cast cameras in two thousand sixteen which is five years ago. I think this is all happened very very quickly for me. So i've had to kind of learn so quickly. How to transition from being the grateful actor who shows up and does what he is told and says the lines and doesn't make a fuss and isn't difficult to like a fully empowered artist who can put their hand up when something isn't right. Who has the creative agency. And it is so so hard as for. I mean. i'm an immigrant. Obviously i'm an actor of color and working on kim's convenience we all just knew how precious those opportunities were and nobody. Nobody wanted to be the person who spoke out and if there was something that happened that we didn't want to do more often than not we acquiesced because what we're going to do by the hand that fed us you know. Bite the hand that gave us the opportunity. It is so incredibly difficult. I think it's really interesting to hear. Come from a man though. Because for a long time i thought if i was incredibly agreeable and a joy to work with and you know hopefully giving good performances as i thought that there was value to being maybe described as low maintenance.

"Welcome back to asian enough. Here's the rest of our conversation with lucy. Liu recently wrote an op-ed for the washington post referring to moving the needle a little with the mainstream success. You're able to find. I'm curious about like. What are you feel like. Took to push the needle in the way that you were able to every ounce of willpower and persistence. That one can have. And i think when you do move the needle or you do interact with the people and the career that you want to go towards you are going to be the first to get cut by the thorns and the bushes and you will also therefore be you know standing in front of the spotlight to be criticized and to be somewhat crucified. And you have to sort of be okay with that. And that's in some ways. I guess it was easier. Because i don't i never read reviews and i don't look at that because the work is the work and to me the experience of doing that work in the people that i interact with. That's what i take away. So that's part of it but there's something wonderful about it because you're stepping into the snow for the first time and i'm not alone in that there's people that have been doing that before me before me in and the snow keeps coming down and then tracks getting covered. But you just keep going forward and i. I have been so grateful to have wonderful team of people around me as well as understanding that. It's not gonna be that easy it's not gonna be about incoming calls right so you have to love it and i have to say i love what i do and i'm so passionate about it to the point where i was really myopic until i had my son where it was just like. I don't want to say it was an obsession. But as soon as a script came in i was just like hungry for reading it and understanding it even it was good or bad. All of that to me is delicious and i delight in what this is. It's magical world that you can be a part of or that. I am a part of an i. I find it fascinating. I think it's the best relationship i've ever had and you sometimes it's it can be tough in. It could be easy but the relationship with art. It's a struggle but you always feel so illuminated by the end of it you know and there's no end of it so there's this infinity shifting gears a little bit so we know that you're not very online or you're certainly not addicted. Social media leaks some of us. So i was really curious to know. Did you know that in a recent poll In which respondents were asked to name prominent asian-americans that you are one of the only people who were still alive and actually asian-american that people could name. I had not heard that. No i think. The other top. Were bruce lee who has not been with us for many years and jackie chan who is not american and that poll came out in made twenty. Twenty one from a nonprofit called leading asian americans are perceived in this country and it came at a time of obviously increased and sustained anti-asian. Hate and it really seemed like this illustration of a wider sort of ignorance around asian americans. I had heard of a study done a while back where they asked. Who's more american. Kate winslet or lucy liu and they said kate winslet not even american. It was really fascinating because it was sort of during the time that i was writing the washington post essay. And you know there's so much that one can mine in that conversation alone that study alone. But i just think that it's a visual aspects of. Oh she's caucasian and You know they're not really thinking. Oh got an english accent must be from another country. Um it's just. I don't look like what they would think is american. Yeah and this is not a study that was done you know in the sixties or seventies. It was done recently. I wish i could say. I was like shocked by things like that. You know. I wish. I don't know i guess for me when when when something strikes me as shocking i always end up laughing about it. Because it's that's my go-to Reaction i mean. It doesn't take away the weight of how crazy it is. But i guess i just have to. I guess i have to laugh. But no i did not know that i don't look myself up on the internet. I'm not interested. there's too many opinions. I'm sure and i don't look at comments either. I remember some people are like. Oh did you read some of the comments from the washington post essay. And i said no i have no interest Never read the comments never never ever ever but that was a very difficult thing for me to even do because it was personal. Your op-ed you mean. Yeah so. I i really had to kind of break down the the cells. And just you know get in there with a scalpel and just start cutting away at what. I was comfortable with and just expose whatever it was that was holding me down and that op ed. That you wrote was written in response to a teen vogue article that criticized your kill bill. Character as an example of the dragon lady trope. But why did you want to write the op-ed to begin with. I just was so shocked by the categorization of that character and many other characters. I'm sure that made me. It wasn't about being offended. It was just about what was not correct in being in some ways formulated and then placed. And i think if we talked about the other characters that would have been fine with me but because it wasn't it became very clear to me that that was not acceptable to leave it. Just like that. And i i actually. Somebody sent it to me who i trust very much. And that's the only reason. I read it otherwise i wouldn't be scrolling to find this article this op ed. More we're talking about these external perceptions. Did you know that. Recently you became somewhat of a feminist icon online when a story about you standing up to bill murray on the set of charlie's angels went viral when. I don't even know this what's going on. There's this account of a conflict on Or a moment on. Charlie's angels when bill murray. I guess rewrote scenes for people without being asked you and then that led to some confrontation and that he insulted you on the set and so we wanted to ask you. What's actual story.

He said oh. What am i going to get mine like. Well it's not easy number one. But i love how innocent jew was. Oh well i bring that up because remember hearing you share story about like sharing a picture of you and your son at this enormously meaningful moment With your mother and that she had what you described as a very asian mom reaction to that which i thought was funny. My mom has an asian mom reaction to everything because she's an asian long. I remember you know. I hadn't after the ceremony. Things got really busy. And then i didn't really speak to her for a while. I reached out to her. And i didn't hear from her for a couple of weeks or something and then she said now that you expose rockwell. He could be kidnap. Let's look on the. Let's look on the positive side of things you know. Like how wonderful was that to be together in that. That's like thanks. Mom yeah but you know in some ways. I laugh about it because it was so shocking when i got the tax at first i thought wow this is. It's feels like somebody just picked me. But then i realized it's actually very funny and not surprising when you get a response always going to have a little. You have to have a little bit of a shield up before you can actually laugh about it circling back to your acting career. You started off with gus spots on tv. Shows like beverly hills nine hundred one in the early nineties But your first movie was actually a chinese-language hong kong foam called rhythm destiny. What do you consider your big break. Well i thought my first big break was my series regular role on the sitcom pearl with rhea perlman. And she's a dear friend of mine to this day. She and her family have lifted me in my spirits and had an enormous impact on my life emotionally. And that was my big being in a series. Like that. And i had come from theater so it was very similar to that doing it in front of a live audience And then after that show got cancelled i was on the movie payback and so payback to me was really the next break because it was a film with mel gibson and brian hoaglund hood was directing it and had written it up but ironically the break from i think the public point of view was really ally mcbeal. I was just a guest star on that show until they invited me to come back as a series regular after. I think it was seven episodes but i had done payback before then even though it had been released after so it's funny that ally mcbeal really started to gain traction in the character wounded before anything else that had done before and i guess it is really what. The zeitgeist is absorbing at. The time. don't know like i saw this one scene. That is i will say is on the internet of your dancing scene from rhythm of destiny. I feel like people are trying to put you in dance movie. I have no. I have no talent for that. I mean if. I were hers and believe me. I really put my mind to it. I can get something done. But they're like okay. Now do this like this. I am not a five six seven eight grohl right right away but you have to really give you time. I appreciate that now terrified gloriously nineties. I love it. I had a great time on that movie being in hong kong and being around basically a world of asian people in asian faces. Yeah he loved it. I felt i felt like it was one of the very special moments of my. I guess my journey in learning about myself. And what i look like and and being amongst essentially i mean that's an experience. I don't even feel like i've had in my life. You know being in a place where. I am not the outlet because of how i look you know that such a rare experience for an asian american performer to have period. It's it there's two sides of it you know it's wonderful because you feel a part of something and you don't feel out of step and at the same time you are syncopated because you are completely out of step because you don't speak the language the way you should. I mean i certainly don't speak cantonese. But you also have freckles. And that's not okay and as you experienced life you just have to find a way. It's a path that you have to pave and you have to create and you have to be willing to get your hands dirty in your fingernails kind of absorbed in dirt and just allow it and it's not always easy. I mean some days are easier than others. But it's not something that you just do and you're just you know gleeful about all the time just sort of like. Oh i don't have clear perfect skin like that's just white. I don't have this perfect language. I can't read all the characters. I'll do my asian confession later..

Your poll name is in this song about being an independent woman. What people might not know. Is that your offscreen. Life really embodies that spirit in so many ways as an actor director producer. Imus visual artist. Where do you think that independence comes from. I'm not quite sure. I think it was born with it. i've always felt this wonderful urge to explore and be free. And i really loved the idea of having that freedom creatively and as a woman as a mom. There's something very freeing out that curiosity and of course i love having people around me all the time and exploring that but there's something about it that just makes it super special and it wasn't something that i intended on this path going on but it's definitely changed the course of how people view me That the sort of the choices that i made. I'm wondering if there's like a story or a moment from your childhood even that either you remember or maybe has been told to you because oftentimes it's like our family telling us what we were like as kids. That gave a first inkling of this lucy. That's a great question john. I don't know i've always felt like. I was from another planet and that i was not i didn't belong here necessarily and sort of trying to find my way back home and somehow landing into this entertainment world. This industry made me feel like i was at home. And i'm not sure if it's because it's so many different kinds of people from different walks of life coming together to create something wonderful. It's sort of a circus you know. And everyone gathers together and brings what they can to create this family I'm reminded of a photo shoot. I saw he did as bowie. When you're talking about feeling like you're from another planet. Yeah that was a wonderful experience With the china team from marie-claire and you know they loved why women kill so much. Even though ironically in china it was it's not aired so there was a lot of pirated versions and it became very very popular. And i think the character was beloved and they wanted to do a photo shoot as simone and i thought well. I've already done the character that doesn't make any sense. And i'm not simone but why don't we do something that's different and sort of an epiphany in the middle of night. I woke up with this idea of. Why don't we just do these iconic figures from the eighties. These people that i admired so much and they went for it and they did an incredible job of pulling together. These costumes and i had a great team of a hair makeup. And it's pretty fabulous because you don't see you know. Bowie is someone asia you don't see prince someone asian and all of it came together and it was effortless in a way you know with all the work in it. The whole idea came together and it was thrilling. yeah and it's really cool to see you as this chameleon person you know you're transformed in this photo. Shoot your debbie hair. Your prints your bowie I really likes the concept of that. To begin with and part of that is maybe because so many people know lucy liu and glue see. It's always lucy liu And maybe that's what happens whenever beyond say says your name in a song but we want to know like who really is lucy lou. Let's start at the beginning. You were born and raised in queens on the planet of queens new york on the planet of queens. Two parents who were immigrants from china. You have two older siblings. And i understand you kind of knew always that you wanted to be an artist to be an actor. Yes when i was younger. I really was intrigued by this neighbor. Who lived across the street. Who had done some commercials. And i really was so curious about it and i kept sort of asking questions about it and i thought that's what i wanna do and i had no idea i didn't know anyone in the business i had no clue and i think the naievety of not knowing anything was actually how it helped me charge forward because i didn't know how bad rejection could be. And what kind of rejection late ahead of me and there was plenty of rejection. But i didn't mind it because to me. It wasn't personal. It was just this quest to keep moving forward and keep discovering and a lot of people it said to me. Well there's nobody that's out there. There's no there's not a lot of asian presence in media and television film you're going to be very limited and you're never you're never gonna make it and i just thought i don't know what that means. I don't know what never means so. Let's just try this one one foot in front of the other. That's kind of what it is and to me. The glass is always have full. I don't even see it being you know empty at all. I just see it as being something to sort of draw on to drink to admire to watch the glint of the sun. Hit it all of that. Everything about it to me is intriguing in wonderful i. I guess i'm an optimist for our listeners. Who don't know you are also an accomplished artist and one of the pieces. You have on exhibit a painting of your family. Can you paint a picture for us if your childhood home growing up so we grew up in attached housing. Which you know. Everyone's houses are connected to each other and you can hear everything that's going on in everyone's homes and how they relate to one another and we didn't have very much money so we grew up with whatever we grew up. It's sort of that idea of you get what you get in you. Don't get upset and if you do get upset you get you get a mouthful of why you shouldn't be upset and i just remember reminiscent but watching the ants march down the side of the steps where we would sit hearing the screen door close when someone who went out and at that time you know the kids were just able to go out and play.

"liu" Discussed on Breaking the Glass Slipper: Women in science fiction, fantasy, and horror
"As opposed to you know the dish best of cold because if it is sort of premeditated and planned out revenge is it harder to actually portray that over here and have them remain the hero pitfalls are the same. I mean certainly. I certainly the reader and the viewer is. Is you know we are trained to be more accepting but i think that at the end of the day for really talking about the root of these narratives. Each one prevents morning each one as a distraction from reflection. He'll like unpremeditated. Rage is cleaner in the sense that it's a spontaneous explosion of emotional and physical energy sort of like a volcano. But like then what do you just double down on that unpremeditated rage and lit hardened something cold and calculated or will you mourn. I think about the crow. Which is i think movie that does that. Well where we have these outside characters. Remember eric driven in the before times you know who keep him focused on his humanity and his grief and not just revealed his revenge. But i think you know cold calculated revenge. I mean honestly. I think they're about this. I mean i know they should be different. But i think ultimately they they're they have the same result they have the same result and they have the same. You know the same route. 'cause i was just thinking about actually. The mike was saying about the dish. Best of cold in the explosion of rage reminds me of the in france. They say it's a crime of passion as opposed to premeditation. And i think don't quote me illness. But i feel like that carries a lesser sentence than premeditated murder. But what if. Joe what if what if the outcomes the same though someone is yeah someone is not exactly exactly you know. It's all of your attention right that somehow if you if you Premeditate cold and calculating plan. Someone's murder that you are somehow more evil. You know that you intentionally causes person's death at you at any point could have stopped. You could've stopped yourself right and and just say you know i'm gonna make make a choice to not do this but instead premeditation means that you just double down like you just kept going and going and going and you. Continuously made the choice to not stop whereas when you just exploded with rage is when it's quote unquote a crime of passion. There is no. The assumption is that there was no. There was no choice to be made that the moment between your rage and your action was so small that you just. You just didn't even have time to make a choice to the you just you just exploded and the person was dead and so it's that in some ways that lack of continued that lack of continued choice right. That makes the difference. Because you're not. You're not taking the time to really think about this so thinking about cycles of revenge obviously a really famous example is a montagues and the capulets remun- juliette they simply just keep on killing each other opinions. Nobody shakes Yeah he makes a better drama right. Star-crossed love against such a dramatic trolled. But this is these. These is idea of light. Endless vengeance with no resolution is quite common through history and literature..

They did a brief history. Let's go ahead and do a little bit of dig into just a little bit deeper there with the holocaust started and what was going on already. Who's next by the who august fourteenth nineteen seventy-one ten years before i was born but i am familiar with the album Fifth studio album like liu said it developed from the aborted life house projects which was going to be a rock opera to follow tommy which. I'm sort of glad they didn't do that. Because then have another is really silly movie that i can't sit there but they did salvage some of the songs for the next album. Eight of the nine songs from lighthouse for featured on this album The one that was not was my wife that was written by john entwistle It's heavy on the use of synthesizer Especially for songs won't get fooled again and babo riley. It was an immediate success when it was released viewed by many critics as the best album or their best album and one of the greatest albums of all time. It was reissued on cd several times with additional songs originally intended for life house. The first session for which became who's next was at mick jagger's house star groves recorded there at the start of april nineteen seventy-one using the rolling stones mobile studio and that's what i got. Okay that's the there you have it. It's sort of like the beginning of it. Let's talk a little bit before we get into. Who's who's next You got under way to put this in in kind of history. Tommy was a total like revelation. No had done and fact pete townsend was sort of jokingly calling it a rock opera developing it and it was really kit lambert. That was like now now.

NFL cuts expected to be a ‘massacre,’ ‘bloodbath’ next week
"We are on the fringe. We're nearing free agency. Actually just read a very interesting to tweet about a nfl coach. Saying that next week was gonna be a bloodbath. with the cap situation Do the covid that it's going to be a very interesting year. A lot of people are going to be getting cut prior to free agency to free up room. So we'll see what happens In you know the free agents were talking about might not even be like the big guys you know we end up signing at the end of the day so one big name we have been talking about and you specifically talked about this guy. Quite a bit is joni From new england the patriots are not going to use the franchise on him again. They can't do it. They they're cap situation would allow forward. I believe but with what you end up making the second time around. It really doesn't make any sense to them. As i was listening to boston. Sports radio their day like they were talking about that. Very topic so loonies. He's a big name. being fans. Love is a big often. Attack was out there And they've got to think about bringing their own guys. Back to william jackson in kara lawson entering free agency. So that's a big big names in some big money right there. What what can really afford to do. So that you you hit the list You hit you hit the big players. They're they have of course two big guys. Internally that are scheduled to be free agents in jackson and lawson one of those may end up getting the franchise tag. Probably the non-exclusive. If i had a bad at this point i'd probably say it's carl lawson and and we don't know the exact figures yet but they'll come out soon what the values will be But it's based position and since deandre get paid a little bit more than corners. Speed deanne tag is going to be a little higher. But i think that's a cost of the bengals are willing to take just to avoid the risk of losing carl. Potentially at an already weakened spot you know masterpass russia's spin has been existent Especially last year And i think room on bengals dot com had a couple of comments today from an article today saying they're looking to shore up the pass rush and he didn't mention actually edge rusher cement of course interior pressure which was good to see liu mentioned and we can talk about some interior linemen. Who are going to be on the market that could provide some interior. Pass rush to collapse the pocket if you will but to your question about what. They can't afford i. There is a way for them to structure these contracts with the amount of space that they have available. Of course we don't know what official cap will be just like we don't know what the tag amounts are going to be. We don't really know the final numbers quite yet. We know the cap can't go below one eighty But let's assume it stays right at that floor. I been under the working on the assumption that it's going to creep up to one eighty five rather optimistically but who knows if it gets that high. Is you mentioned kobe. Kobe tope took all essentially all the local revenues that these teams generated and made it two zero for almost all of them. There are some teams based on the cities and state. They were in that allowed some attendance. That really you know. It was a small percentage of what a normal season would be. So they're sitting in a good spot. Relatively speaking in terms of current cap space. There are about thirty seven million once you account for the almost eleven million. They rolled over last year. So at that point if they just stay there. They're they're currently line to be seventh most in cap space and that's a lot to work with in terms just resigning those guys internally and then going out on the market for tuning type of player ariba some more mid tier guys in the bond bell mold last year. You know a more of a modest deal where you get a lot of value in that regard but if they ended up staying put without making cuts and being seventh and cap space that gives them a lot of flexibility. But i think to your earlier point. We are gonna start seeing a lot more cut. We started seeing some today. There were some report. I think gave jackson the right guard for the raiders is not. There's a report that they they're looking to trade their right tackle trent brown. If they can't find a trade partner they'll likely cut him too. So the market's going to be flooded. It's going to be starting to be flooded. It's going to be even more so and on the bengals and they're likely to make some calm cap cuts. They don't need to make them because they have plenty of room. But just the value is not there to keep some of these guys on the books. You know the names. Bobby heart which will save just under five point nine million. Bj phinney will save three and a quarter million with no dead money and then of course geno atkins. We've talked about the gino situation Pretty at length and the question will be whether they released him. Post june one or or designated or releasing prior to june one or designate him or our releasing post you one which adds a little bit more savings to it but if you cut those three guys even if you don't cut gino with a post june one designation that adds about nine million in addition In additional cap space. So if you had that. Nineteen to thirty seven. Obviously naira almost sixty million and fifty six million give or take And that would baltim- in the top five of capital so they have a lot of flexibility to enter the long-term extensions with both their internal free and to go out on the market and signs of sizeable Upgrades hopefully on the offense line and positions that they they really need to

"Welcome to another episode of it visionaries today. We have the chief technology officer of user testing. Kyw vande liu kai welcome to the show thank you. I'll right right to it user testing. The name seems obvious what it's four but tell us what is user testing the company. What do they offer what you guys do as you might guess. We have. Companies tests experiences wade uses with there could be karen customers. Potential customers partners employees at people have never heard of them. What have you so essentially anybody. Who's creating an experience can use our platform to get feedback integration process whether it's an early sketch one feedback on or design before you can start developing if it's throughout the development of the experience and of course experiences that already are out in the wild and being used anything in all of that that you want experience anything that you've created any experience you've created whether digital or physical that you want feedback. So that's what i want to dive into. Because that's what's fascinating because this isn't just a product that test software. You mentioned the physical in fact on your homepage. The user testing homepage. There is a woman clearly or to me clearly providing some type of feedback on a makeup product in. You just said it. Physical as well tells the big difference between because i think a lot of people here user testing and they started thinking of software centric application inside of my software. So imagine i. I am a software maker. I install another software inside of my software in attracts users. Attracts what they do. It gives me feedback loops of how they're interacting with software but user. Testing is a little bit different tells how your unique approach to testing both software has well as physical products and we compliment all these other forms of getting insights into how your product or how your experiences used by giving you heal human insights into what people actually think while they're doing this. So tha other tools. You can get insights into what people click on and how long they dwell on a particular page or whatever it is but we connect you die wick out to your customers or your users and they tell you they think out loud. They give you their personal feedback. We court everything they do record the face as well. It's almost like you're sitting there talking to someone when they try out experience you have created whether it's a website or mobile app or visit gates periods. So did this is like being. Would someone in their home wine. they about may be tried on and they talk to you they are. They're fantastic self. It's a vaguely human connection that you build their this week. They have spilled empathy in a way that will this data that we collect another ways can never do so. How does your role in back this experience. Your customer so use your testing. It sounds like you know if i if i were to start listening to podcasts. When ray beginning not too much idea in front of it it's now starting to sound like a marketplace. It sounds like if i bring you my product you have users that will play with intest the product. They're going to be willing to record themselves. It sounds like how does the technology of what user testing provide help narrow the gap for a. Let's say when your clients for them to collect feedback. How do you guys make their lives easier. Oh there's a lot of technology involved in this whole process of you getting to the interesting moments that matter to you understand how you can improve the experience you're providing it starts with the different ways that we can define audiences so you can bring your own test participants if you want if you have. Maybe your most loyal polled listeners. If you wanna hear from them what they think if you want to hear from people who have never heard of you we have a panel of many. Many people signed up who frequently take these tests and they check in and received or something available for them to to to test that you can relatively easily cover defined people who've never heard of us. We cannot support the south spectrum of your most loyal people out to people who've never heard of you and in all of this. This quite some sophistication in how we distribute tests out to potential participants at we try to target these tests as as we can so that the participants who are most interested and most likely to be good testers that we most likely to give good feedback that we target them with a particular test. So there's a lot of technology already in just how these how you find your audience. There's a lot of interesting technology and we're doing a lot of exciting work this area. At the moment how the experience gets a coded and then perhaps the most technology intensive area is around the analysis of the results. You get just five fifteen minute videos back. That's auto time for you to sit and listen and watch all of those but that's where we have a lot of machine. Learning we transcribe everything that people say. We analyzed the transcripts for strom emotions. We count entrusting moments. We analyzed if it's a web sized we can analyze the flow through the side. We can see where people have been clicking all of this than complements what they actually said any attempts guide you towards the highlights and we can automatically highlight wheels for you and so that you as yen user who's trying to produce a better experience that through get feedback nicely packaged.
Monocle 24: The Briefing
Biden announces US will sanction Myanmar's military leaders following coup
"Last week's data in myanmar provided the new us administration of president joe biden with its first major foreign policy crisis. We now have an idea of america's response. President biden has signed an executive order imposing sanctions on the coup leaders. This will be followed by measures to block the myanmar's military access to government funds held in the us. Further measures seem likely showed the gionta not to american demands that democratic order be restored one by louis lukens former. Us diplomat now senior partner with cigna global advisors liu first of all this all seem certainly measured against the last four years widely normal. Doesn't it well it does. You're right andrew. It does seem normal and there is a policy process in washington. That was carried out there. Tony blinken and president biden consulted with about this issue and then came to a decision to impose sanctions so very normal. Didn't learn about it by tweet. Sort of back to the good old days of foreign policy. I think not that. I'm wishing to sound overly nostalgic four the immediately preceding four years. But in an instance like this is this orthodoxy helpful. I mean the demand. Maurice generals rather priced this in. Wouldn't they well. The process and the consultant with allies is helpful whether sanctions themselves will be useful remains to be seen sanctions. Tend to have very limited effectiveness and the people who are targeted by sanctions. In this case the military leadership Tend to be able to to be somewhat immune to the effects of the sanctions. They and so the. Us has walk a very fine line in trying to punish the leadership but in a way. That doesn't actually trickle down and really hurt. The the average burmese people who who are responsible for the the off course well just as a general principle then. Is there any reason to imagine that the people behind the coup. D'etat actually care what. The united states thinks that. This point probably not much reason to think that they care you know. China is their number one trading partner. They do roughly three third of their trade with china and the us is not even in the top five list of trading partners So you know it's great that the us has a couple allies on board. And i think the tony blinken talk to his japanese counterpart yesterday to to sort of coordinate a little bit on this but if china is not going to impose sanctions which they won't it really reduces the effectiveness of what the us can do in that especially in that country where we have very few ties. So how much of the american response. So far and i guess what we might still see often. American response is not so much the new. Us administration hoping it can affect an outcome in this specific circumstance but is more trying to set a general tone trying to establish. This is how this administration is going to do business. This is how we're going to react to things. Yeah look. I mean even if even if the sanctions are completely symbolic sends an important message that the that the united states will not tolerate this kind of activity and will work to promote the the sustenance of democratic governments around the world if the united states had ignored the coup in myanmar mar. I think that would send a message to people thinking about overthrowing governments around the world that hey we can do this now and get away with it now. The burmese military leaders may still get away with it remains to be seen whether the us sanctions will have any effect or not but the us had to send a message in some ways. This is a new administration and we're gonna take democracy seriously. How much more. Careful is the united states being about me on mob this time than it might have been during the previous stretch of military rule because in that period of course it did seem like a much more straightforward good guys versus bad guys proposition than you had this. All neha canonized a leader in waiting under house arrest on sang suci Whose stature. I think has been somewhat reduced by her own complicity with the people who've just thrown out of a job. Yeah i mean certainly. Her stature has been diminished over the last years in. Not just yeah. i mean. Basically because of her alignment with the military leaders in sort of her reaction to the the genocide in myanmar. That said i think the united states is trying to look at is not from the perspective of individual personalities but from the perspective of the principles of democracy and our unwillingness or or distaste for To go along with with appearing to support a military coup so we have to come out. The united states had to come out and strongly against this coup and short of military action economic sanctions against the people who perpetrated a coup really. The only way to go for now. The united states does of course have a diplomatic relationship with me on march for the moment at least any way you have been a diplomat serving abroad for the united states in a in a circumstance like this is there anything ambassadors another embassy staff on the ground candu or is it more likely case. They've just been told to make as little noise as they possibly can. Well i think the probably been quite vocal. I think in and you have to walk a fine line. You don't wanna be so vocal against the new leaders in the military that that you get thrown out of the country because certainly that is a possibility now. But you wanna make america's presence known and you wanna know you wanna make america's policies known so my guess is that Certainly through social media which is of limited value in me mark. I think the government has cut down. Cut off a lot of the internet but they they will be trying to work through their networks of of Dissenters and people in civil society to try to get the word out that the united states is with you. And we're working on this. How important is it to the united states to get at least some sort of result out of this. I mean i understand what you're saying about. How the united states is obliged to lay down the law here especially with the new administration but he is there a risk that they are seen to have done exactly that and have not make the blindest bit of difference to anything. Well there is a risk. I mean if if the us government left it as it is now the just the sanctions. That would be a worry but my guess is that Tony blinken will be is embarking on on a of diplomacy with counterparts around the world to try to to you take it to the next level not necessarily only through sanctions through a global reaction against this coup again. It comes back to the challenge. That is hard to do something. The un security council If china doesn't go along with it and china's unlikely to go along with any condemnation of the military leaders in in myanmar But i think tony blinken will certainly be trying to rally allies onto the us side honest
Morning Edition
Unpacking Biden's Executive Orders Advancing Racial Equity And Tribal Sovereignty
"Faith and morality require. Among the executive orders He's signed since arriving in the Oval Office for are aimed at advancing racial equity and tribal sovereignty. Earlier this week, we spoke with the Brookings Institution's Andre Perry about one of those initiatives. Tackling discriminatory federal housing policies. I do think this is a start. You have to start somewhere you start with HUD and hopefully mo mentum from the public. Can encourage these other areas to make change. We called on three experts to address the other pillars of the Biden plan, reaffirming tribal sovereignty, ending the federal government's use of private prisons and condemning discrimination, bias and hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Ethel Branches. A former attorney general for the Navajo Nation. Paul Butler, is a former prosecutor and author and professor at Georgetown Law and from Citizen University and the Aspen Institute. Eric Liu. I started off by asking. Will these executive orders make a difference? Ethel Branch spoke first. Absolutely. It sends a strong message. Using the language of equity is very hopeful. It's a needed reaffirm INTs to Indian country that this administration's engagement with Indian nations will be very different from the last administration and also signals that some of the things that were under way under the Obama administration will be put back into place. But I think this is just a start. If President Biden really wants to reaffirm tribal sovereignty we need to start talking about Lifting the federal chains essentially that restrict tries from controlling their territory and governing with respect to their people. And Eric Liu, you have written about the experience of Chinese American families. I wonder what you make of this order fighting xenophobia against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. I think President Trump created a frame of permission. That it was okay to be casually racist toward Asian Americans and people of Asian descent. And, as with so much of President Trump's racism he could say, at least on the surface, plausibly. Oh, I didn't mean that that's not meant to be that you're being too sensitive. But I think anybody of actual Asian descent could feel the vibe of disrespect and menace and the form of disrespect comes in this way in particular. Which is You look Asian. I don't really care whether you're Asian, American or Asian from Asia. I'm going to see you as a threat. I'm going to see you as a problem. I'm going to see his escape goat President Biden Simply by changing the tone simply by refusing to speak in that way, makes a big difference. I want to turn to

Movie Review: 'Sound of Metal'
"Of Metal recently came out on Amazon Prime and the movie follows a heavy metal drummer played by Reza Med, who begins to lose his hearing. Your hearing is deteriorating rapidly. We'll come back to Lin Liu. We just keep going. Okay? No blue. No play tomorrow. See what it's like. Okay, I'm gonna be like a click track. You complain to me. Don't understand your fast responsibility. Something here. I can't hear you. You understand me? I can't adapt. Jacqueline. What did you think of the sound of metal? While the sound of metal is another film that was part of this sort of strange festival season of last year, and I actually got to catch it at the Toronto Film Festival two years ago, I guess now, but now it's coming out on Amazon. It started drizzling mezuzah drummer losing his hearing, and what's really interesting about this film is this is not somebody who had this Big aspirations in life. This was a man who just wanted to be a drummer in a band and this disability coming upon him late in life really changes everything around him. It changes his relationships. It changes what he may be wants to do with the rest of his life and In the center of it. What's interesting is his willfulness. I will say for how he doesn't want to face the reality of what is happening to him and how he looks to sort of bargain and beg his way into a different situation. And it isn't until he comes across an advisor at a camp that he goes to learn American sign language and sort of Learned how to live this new existence with a disability where he really sort of embrace is who he is. It has some really interesting sound cues in it. I think it is my Hands down pick for best sound this year because of the way they use it in the storytelling just sort of tell the story of his diminished hearing and also essentially how he's listening in and out of his life and Really incredible performance by Rizal Med. Also Olivia Cooke and Paul racy who's actually a coda. He is the child of death or hearing impaired parents. And he knows American sign language a character actor from several years and he is getting a ton of praise for his performance in this one, which I'm so happy to see. Sort of like a journeymen have his His moment. It harkens me back to sort of Robert Forester with Jackie Brown and sort of that, So it's a really incredible thing. And what are we hearing about resume that's performance. Yeah, and risen mad. They're definitely talking best actor for him. He recently came out on the cover. I think it was ah, variety of Hollywood reporter where he was saying, You know, he's had to play these roles that he didn't want to do any more, He said. I'm done playing terrorists. I want Have an opportunity to have three dimensional characters and so to see a South Asian British person played this role where that is a part of the character but all of the character and seeing him Really struggle with the realities of this disability is really incredible and visceral is one of the best male performances of this year. It is just a shame that it goes. It begins so many performances that are going to be hard to be most particularly Chadwick Boseman and lead actor performance of Murray's black bottom, but I think he's going to give him a run for his money, even in a posthumous awards campaign.

Unconfirmed: Insights and Analysis From the Top Minds in Crypto
Protection of Personal Data in Blockchain Technology
"Zor. Res- asks what do you think about. Privacy designed blockchain so. It's kind of interesting because these blockchain's are sort of under attack. I guess you could say from regulation right now. A melted mirrors actually talked about this in the episode that he did with her and lynn alton Where she said that. That's kind of the main thing she'll be looking out for twenty twenty one and i think You know we at this moment that i'm recording this. We only have rumors about what type of regulation it was that Treasury secretary steve mnuchin wanted to put on crypto right. Now because i think actually you privacy coins were in the crosshairs and this was something night. Jessie liu who came on unconfirmed talked about She was the what was it. Former attorney for dc. She's prosecuted a ton of cases are around some of the biggest ones involving illegal. Use bitcoin and via actor state actors like north korea or by the child porn website in in korea. Welcome to video. And and some of the other big criminals like terrorists and stuff and weight point. Is she highlighted by a something that she was noticing in. I can't remember it was the dot enforcement framework actually and I do think you know this is going to be something that comes up again because brian brooks the action control of the currency. Also kind of you know. When i asked him about what how he thought the. Us might regulate privacy. He said oh well you know the. Us is different from other countries because we're We're the victims of terrorism or or were subject to terrorism or something like that and he said that he thought people would be willing to make a trade off for that. Which i thought was very interesting. A really was curious to know what the crypt communities reaction was to that comment. But yeah so. I think we're going to see that kind of come up as a battle and i actually. I would be surprised. If in the end there wasn't some way to have Blockchain side feature privacy prominently because in a way. I can't imagine the technology really taking off in all the ways that it could take off if there wasn't such a feature and you even see that like in a forthcoming episode. I have unconfirmed. It's a panel discussion but there is somebody from the federal reserve who talks about building systems for central bank digital currencies. Who says you know flat out like you can't design these systems unless you have privacy you as a consideration from the beginning he said it cannot be an afterthought and and he's talking about for central bank digital currency so. I really do think that you'd at least some of these vaccines will have to feature it prominently and i. I don't think that we're going to end up with blockchain set it at all. I would be surprised on a long enough time scale. I do think in the in the beginning. There might be a bit of a battle. But i think after we got real adoption then i would be very surprised if we don't start to see more privacy
