DEI is basically “you know that thing we do where we only hire from the old boys club at our favorite ivy league university? Let’s hold off on that.”

Companies benefit from DEI policies because they expand their hiring pool, so the company ends up with better talent. They’re still aiming to hire the best out of that pool, of course. Companies are motivated by profit, not by reparations.

I know its effect won’t be more equality.

Its effect will be more equality. Unfortunately that is not a good thing for the old boys club, which is what motivates the FUD and disinformation you’ve heard regarding DEI as a buzzword.

Am I missing something? You don’t have to precook lasagna noodles, you put them straight in the lasagna and they cook in the sauce.

20 years ago I would have said “what’s that, an egg roll or something?”

You sound like you’d like the types of videos posted to /c/[email protected]

Also these types of creators are commonly on nebula.tv, if you want to support them directly.

Polyglotism. Being able to speak every language would be practically a superpower.

They call those “podcasts” nowadays. But in the spirit of your question, I’ll say my favorite is Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me.

That would be awfully hypocritical, given that Mangione’s crime in the first place was (allegedly) killing a mass murderer.

OK, but we have to make it absolutely crystal clear who is doing this, who it’s hurting, and who is benefiting. That’s why reporting like this is important.

Trump just won an election by blaming democrats for Trump’s own terrible economy.

I think a good start would be to stop allowing Republicans to raid Social Security for quick cash, like they’ve been constantly doing since the Reagan administration.

Yes, it’s a payroll tax. Your paycheck may show how much you are paying into Social Security. This is money meant to help you and others after retirement. Musk wants to take that money and instead use it to fill unrelated gaps in the federal budget, gaps caused by Trump’s tax cuts for the very wealthy.

Friendly reminder that Social Security is a separate government program that funds itself.

What Musk is talking about is stealing from Social Security in order to cut taxes elsewhere (namely cutting taxes for people like Musk).

TL;DR this is related to Tesla’s Autopilot (the rule “requires automakers to report crashes if advanced driver-assistance or autonomous-driving technologies were engaged within 30 seconds of impact”). Musk wants to not be held accountable for damages and casualties caused by his shitty software.

You’re right, and that one isn’t even hyperbole. They earnestly want to turn the parks into oil fields and cut down the forests.

This has to have been some kind of clerical error, there’s no political motivation whatsoever for Biden to have done this.

That being the case, keep publicizing the story, and maybe it will get to the administrations radar. Have the clemencies already been actuated, or is there still time to correct the mistake?

The postal service doesn’t lose money, it costs money.

By this logic, the interstate highway system and the military both lose billions! Is Trump going to privatize them too?

“Unpopular Opinion: [popular opinion]!”

Don’t call it an oops.

This was either a massive lapse of bureaucracy, or it was a massive lapse in judgement. Either way, in my opinion it is one of Biden’s biggest mistakes in his entire four years of governance.

Well that’s a fucking oops by Biden. Most of the clemencies on today’s list were ~1500 nonviolent drug offenders who deserved leniency. How the fuck did Conahan manage to slip in with them?

Behind the Bastards did a series on this guy. TL;DR the guy deserves a hell of a lot worse than life in prison.

Thank you.

To be fair to the Guardian, their headline is substantive, compared to the other article that just gave a number without context. The report does clearly support the assertion that on average home is the most dangerous place for women to be attacked.

Missouri got their anti-RCV proposal passed by billing it as an amendment declaring that non-citizens cannot vote. That’s right, they did it by banning something that was already against the law.

Maybe the way forward for election reform is to put it as a footnote in a proposition declaring murder to be bad.
