Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’
Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

Facebook suppressed promotion of political content during a Democratic administration and is restoring it for a Republican one
More from Zuck: "We're bringing back civic content. For a while the community asked to see less politics because it was making people stressed, so we stopped recommending these posts. But it feels like we're in a new era now..."

100%……Was part of Y2K remediation as well at a very large asset manager
DAMMIT NPR.
I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded.
Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

i recall a time when using a private email server was the single greatest scandal in american history. i guess today’s it’s just tuesday www.politico.com/news/2024/12...
Trump's transition is happening over private emails. Federal officials are nervous.
Agencies are weighing in-person requirement for sensitive data.

Instead of Canada becoming the 51st state, the US should consider becoming an 11th province.
Americans would get universal healthcare, parental leave, sensible gun control and fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy.

California, a state of nearly 40,000,000 people, has the same amount of representation in the United States Senate as Wyoming, a state of less than 600,000 people.
This is the direct result of a deal struck between slave states and free states in the 1700s.
It’s time for that to change.

So when mass shootings of average people and school children occurs, it's all "there's nothing we can do, these things just happen" but when a CEO gets shot, we need a special hotline, new safety protocols, and to lock up housewives over frustrated phone conversations.
Got it.
Got it.

ABC’s settlement with Trump feels like it could be an inflection point in the Orbanization of our politics.

ABC (Disney), Washington Post (Bezos), Meta (Zuckerberg), LA Times (Soon-Shiong)... all bending the knee to Trump, all obeying in advance, all sucking up to the Dictator-in-Waiting.
This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.

Donald Trump has now admitted that he cannot guarantee that his policies will lower grocery prices.
He said the complete opposite on the campaign trail.
Yet another lie from Trump. House Democrats, meanwhile, will continue to work to lower your costs.
