Cecily Strong wants all women to know who they’re up against in the fight for equal pay. Apparently, it’s men like Colin Jost.

During Friday night’s “Stand for Rights: A Benefit for the ACLU,” Strong riffed on the gender pay gap, which isn’t really funny if you think about it.

“Women still make just 78 cents for every dollar earned by men,” the “Saturday Night Live” star reminded the audience, looking at Jost and adding, “For example, this man.”

“If current trends continue, women will not see equal pay for another 117 years,” Strong continued. “And by that point, currency will probably be something called Tinder bucks.”

Strong helped out during Friday’s telethon by chatting with people online in an effort to get them to donate to the American Civil Liberties Union. During her segment with Jost, she pointed out just how vulnerable women are in the workforce. 

“Women are legally protected from discrimination in the work place when they get pregnant. That’s simple, right?” she said. “Unfortunately, pregnancy can still put a women’s job at risk.”

She then introduced a short documentary about a pregnant delivery driver who was forced to take unpaid leave after her doctor advised her not to lift heavy items ― a requirement for her job.

“So men, give all you can,” Strong told viewers. “Women, give 78 percent of that.”

WASHINGTON, March 31 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump on Friday released details of the personal finances of his many wealthy staffers, including senior adviser Steve Bannon, whose pre-White House bank accounts, real estate and other holdings were valued at between $3.3 million and $12.6 million.

The late-night download of federal employee disclosure forms confirmed the affluence of many Trump personnel.

The White House disclosed Gary Cohn, former Goldman Sachs president and now head of the White House National Economic Council, had assets worth at least $230 million, but possibly much more. Little information was given on several of his assets and only indicated they were worth more than $1 million.

White House ethics officials said the legally required disclosure documents provided a snapshot of assets and positions held by personnel when they first entered their new jobs at the White House, and before they started selling stocks and other assets that could pose conflicts of interest.

The forms also showed the incomes of Trump’s inner circle in the 12 months preceding their engagement as government workers.

Trump, a real estate magnate and television celebrity with no political experience before he was elected president, has brought in some high-net-worth people to advise him.

For example, Reed Cordish, assistant to the president for intragovernmental and technology initiatives, disclosed pre-White House assets of between $92 million and $798 million. He had income of between $48 million and $55 million.

“These are incredibly successful individuals, very high-net worth, very sophisticated complex asset structures, numerous sub LLCs, trusts and other items, all of which have to be worked through,” a senior White House ethics official told reporters.

The White House said the independent Office of Government Ethics, which reviews financial disclosures to help executive branch officials avoid conflicts of interest, has classified about 25 percent of Trump White House staffers as having “extremely complex” reports, meaning the filers are very wealthy with complex businesses and potential conflicts of interest.

This was not the case for all of them. Peter Navarro, Trump’s trade adviser, earned a relatively modest $240,000 from University of California-Irvine, with less than $1,000 in royalties from the book “Death by China,” and speaking fees from the Casket and Funeral Supply Association and other groups.

Wealthy senior White House staff have to enter into ethics agreements where they agree to resign from positions and divest from assets. Copies of those agreements were not available.

Neither Trump nor Vice President Mike Pence’s assets were included in the documents, nor are Cabinet members. All other senior White House personnel – and those earning more than $161,755 a year – are required to submit disclosure reports.

White women love Tina Fey, but Tina Fey isn’t too happy with white women, especially the ones who voted for Donald Trump. 

During “Stand for Rights: A Benefit for the ACLU” on Friday night, Fey sat down with ACLU executive director Donna Lieberman and deputy legal director Louise Melling for a conversation about the battle for women’s rights and the responsibility each of us have to fight for protections that might not directly impact our lives. 

After the election, exit polls revealed that a majority of white women ― 53 percent, to be exact ― supported Trump in the election, compared to the 43 percent who voted for Hillary Clinton.

 “A lot of this election was turned by white, college-educated women who now would maybe like to forget about this election and go back to watching HGTV,” Fey said. “I would want to urge them to like, ‘You can’t look away’ because it doesn’t affect you this minute, but it’s going to affect you eventually.”

“Again, open two windows. Do watch HGTV,” she added. “[Don’t] turn attention away from what is happening.”

After questioning Lieberman and Melling about the current state of reproductive rights, Fey expanded her plea to all white women, regardless of whom they voted for, to exercise compassion and empathy toward at-risk groups in Trump’s America. 

“I personally will make my own pledge as a college-educated white woman to not look away,” she said, “to not pretend that things are happening now won’t eventually affect me if we don’t put a stop to it.”

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an excellent game judging by its near-perfect reviews, however there have been some complaints by gamers regarding its performance on the Nintendo Switch. In handheld mode, the game seems to run fine, but for some reason when docked, the game does suffer from lower frame rates.

This means that in docked mode there might be instances in which the game isn’t as smooth as it could be. The good news is that Nintendo has since issued a patch for the game where it bumps it from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1. While Nintendo was not explicit in their patch notes, it has been noticed by gamers that  the patch does improve frame rates when docked.

One reddit user posted, “Went to a forest outside of the plateau with two Moblins where I had major FPS drops. Now have a consistent 30 there. It seems that there are still specific areas that tank your frames (the first cliff at the plateau, Kakariko, ect.) but I’ve never had that stable FPS during combat while randomly out in the world.”

There has also been a video uploaded onto YouTube by ElAnalistaDeBits in which it compares the patched version of the game alongside the previous version, which you can check for yourself in the video above.

There are plenty of excellent TV shows and movies out there, and quite a few of them are not in English, which means that sometimes when watching such shows, subtitles are necessary. However given that there are many subtleties when it comes to language, sometimes the quality of subtitles aren’t always great.

However that’s something that Netflix wants to fix as they have announced HERMES, a subtitling and translation test and indexing system meant to help improve the overall quality of subtitles in the future. Essentially this is a test for those who are interested in helping create subtitles for shows, and HERMES will test candidates on their ability to understand English and whether they are capable of translating “idiomatic phrases into their target language”.

According to Netflix, “There are approximately 4,000 idioms in the English language and being able to translate them in a culturally accurate way is critical to preserving the creative intent for a piece of content.” Basically it sounds like this test is meant to see whether subtitlers are capable of translating the subtleties of the English language into their native language, which will result in more accurate subtitles at the end of the day.

At the end of the test, candidates will be given a H-number which tells Netflix their skill level. “Much like we recommend titles to our members, we aim to match our subtitlers in a similar way.  Perhaps they consider themselves a horror aficionado, but they excel at subtitling romantic comedies – theoretically, we can make this match so they’re able to do their best quality work.”
