After many recommendations, I finally started watching the Star Wars show Andor. I found this moment from season 1 to be particularly relevant. What do you think?

I have an even hotter take, anti Blackness isn't rooted in logic. None of our explainers for their aversion to DEI take in the very real issue of how much pleasure they get out of hate. The most successful bigots still hate equality laws because if they don't have anyone to hate they're unhappy
🧵I disagree with Jamelle Bouie very rarely, but I do here:
Ppl w/ unearned confidence believe their confidence is earned. Mediocre, mid, & otherwise unimpressive white people who oppose DEI actually *believe* themselves to have been cheated.
It's the root of antisemitism, in fact! A thread! Fun!

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

Will RFKjr also introduce a govt register of children born with disabilities? Will he falsely claim that they too won't pay taxes or hold jobs?! Will people with autism, with disabilities, or with chronic illness be labelled "undesirable" or "a burden on society"? This is #eugenics. 😠 #USPolitics

Ai is a tool for digital State capture nothing else. AI is being forced into all of our lives because it is not a feature to help you learn it is a tool to control you and knowledge while also neutering your ability to know anything.

"Federal agencies would be instructed to take steps to train students in using AI...The agencies would also be asked to partner with the private sector...All educators should undergo professional development to integrate AI into all subject areas, the draft order says."
Draft executive order outlines plan to integrate AI into K-12 schools
A policy under consideration by the White House and seen by The Post instructs federal agencies on how to incorporate artificial intelligence into classrooms.

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month.
It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.

Maybe I’m being overly critical but this feels like such a soft, passive headline. “Aw, we’re just going a different direction right now. Just switching it up a little bit away from those pesky quote unquote ‘human rights.’ Anyway! Who wants snacks?”

I know I’m late to the discourse but if you were really worried about declining birth rates you would be pushing for universal health care, free early childhood education, social security and UBI.
“Rich man wants harem” seems a lot more honest.

As a kid, I wanted to go to space because space is cool as hell and there's got to be so much going on up there for us to find. Alas, as a girl I got fed up of dealing with guys in science and tech subjects so decided to be good at drawing instead (questionable wisdom, past me). 1/2
I actually think the colossally wasteful space tourism hen do as an act of gender equality has broken me, I can’t move past it

It shouldn't have to devastate you personally to care about it.
You should be able to look at someone else's pain and go "that's terrible, I wouldn't want that for myself, we should do something about that."

This is kindergarten shit.

I was hoping the government would get rid of UC, which is an appalling benefit.
More than ever the UK needs to seriously consider a universal basic income. This would be very easy to administer, thereby reducing costs. It would also reduce admin and costs at HMRC
