Will McAvoy's Rant Concludes:

"It didn't make us feel inferior.
We didn't identify ourselves
by who we voted for in the last election,
and we didn't scare so easy...
...First step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one.
America is not the greatest country in the world anymore;

Enough?"

Will McAvoy's Rant continues
"We built great big things
made ungodly technological advanced
explored the universe
cured diseases
and we cultivated the world's greatest artists AND the world's greatest economy
We reached for the stars
Acted Like Men
We aspired to intelligence, we didn't belittle it"

McAvoy:"We stood up for what was right!
We fought for moral reasons
we passed & struck down laws for moral reasons
We waged wars on poverty
not on poor people
We sacrificed
we cared about our neighbors
we put our money where our mouths were
& we never beat our chest"

I hope they make the film version of @michaelconnelly.bsky.social
"Fair Warning".
It's a terrific novel.
I think Stephen Root should play Myron Levin.
Myron's a hero.
He deserve's to be a character in a good movie

A Stanford University report argued that instead of protecting Jewish students, D.E.I. “disadvantaged” them

Does D.E.I. Help or Hurt Jewish Students?
Some students and professors are questioning whether campus diversity, equity and inclusion offices should do more to combat antisemitism, or whether D.E.I. itself is the problem.
