sorry but i dont think building homes is so paramount that "kitchens" can become an optional trait to have in them just to ensure a few more units get built

Some people really don't have a deep personal connection with food and that's cool but also I do feel bad for them because food is so much more than just a thing you eat, it's the great cultural and intercultural glue of the species

corporate DEI was always ~90% wokewashing, though the government versions of it had more teeth. but even it it was a smokescreen, the anti-DEI movement is *also* a smokescreen for bringing back explicit white supremacy
I honestly don’t functionally disagree that a lot of DEI stuff has been annoying, pointless and some of it even actively counterproductive, I just think the backlash is several million times worse than whatever the issues were. It’s like murdering someone for chewing loudly.
I thought of DEI policies as mildly annoying like IRB. They exist for a reason but it's kind of hard to bureaucratize a response to a real concern. The bigger issue was if all my colleagues look like me or all my students look like me, that's not good, fair, or likely to be a vibrant place.

again, the goal - as someone like Chris Rufo will repeatedly and explicitly tell you, to your face! - is to equate as many public services as possible with superfluous, woke consultant bloat so that it can be hollowed out; the chic heterodox "good riddance" is walking straight into that trap
it's hard to read the chart in the screenshot but what this moron is actually complaining about isn't "DEI" staff, it's special education teachers. these ghouls are coming for people with disabilities and they aren't even shy about it.

I also think this is the reason a lot of people get mad at The Groups: The ACLU should absolutely have been front and center aggressively messaging on this and defending their (reasonable!) recommendations.
the ACLU asked for commutation for everyone who had been under home confinement for at least a year under the CARES Act, and Biden did precisely that
Man this commutations crisis really makes me wonder why we took anything on the chin for prison abolition, jesus fucking christ

"Yes RFK Jr believes a lot of unhinged things but did you know that he also believes some slightly less unhinged things?"
RFK believes pandemic lockdowns were more restrictive and oppressive than the Holocaust, that vaccines cause autism, and that tap water may be turning kids gay.
But, sure, let’s question whether the “conspiracist” label applies because some countries in Europe don’t fluoridate their water.

Part of the consequence of COVID (as I write about in The Stolen Year) is a loss of that shared resource. Public school enrollment in cities like NYC has not recovered, and demographics suggest it will not. The kids who are still there, are poorer.
