Surely if you have to make a statement that a speech is ‘completely different’ to Enoch Powell’s you are dangerously too close

One thing you can take from this is that companies rolling over are simply doing what they wanted to do anyway.
DEI is emerging triumphant in shareholder battles across at companies ranging from Coca-Cola to Berkshire Hathaway

There are more books that exist in the world today from people whose minds amaze me than I will ever have the capacity to read (which breaks my heart btw).
Why would I waste my time reading something written by AI? Even if it is 'good.'
What problem does this solve?

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Apropos of a co-panelist's remarks today:
If you're asking how do we get people to trust this technology, you're asking the wrong question.
Should be: How do we build technology that is trustworthy & sufficiently transparent so people can make informed decisions abt when to trust it.

As we head into the final week before the inevitable onslaught of horrifying executive orders, please take a minute to think about what you can do for people who will be directly impacted by those orders in your life. Ask yourself what you will do to support just one specific person. Then scale up.

Whenever someone says they want "free speech" ask them specific questions like:
What things do you want to be able to say freely without consequence?
Why haven't you been able to speak freely already and what limits on your speech exist currently?

Costco did better than every tech company, university and most of your favorite podcasts
Stop accepting crumbs and stop thinking the only point is the fight
Sometimes the hardest thing you can do is say
“I will be keeping people in humane and safe environs “

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

So I’ve had my 1st Black History Month event cancellation because of “DEI concerns,” citing a fear of frivolous suits. Funny thing is, I don’t do DEI, I’m a historian of the Black American experience. A reminder that DEI is just a dog whistle about suppressing history, if you need a reminder.
