Ohio State shutting down its DEI office is a big deal. The school has over 100 DEI bureaucrats, and the payroll/funding for its DEI operations is big enough to cover in-state tuition for about 900 students. Image
Correction: It's actually worse than I just described. Ohio State has 120 (not 100) DEI employees, and the amount of money spent on them and DEI programs is enough to pay the in-state tuition of 1,100 (not 900) students.

I was using data from an earlier year above.
Here's a more recent listing of employees in the DEI office. Image

Mark Zuckerberg: Facebook and Instagram "are going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with Community Notes, similar to X."

Zuckerberg: Our fact-checkers "have been too politically biased... What started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions and shut out people with different ideas. And it's gone too far."
Zuckerberg further announces that "trust and safety" (i.e., Facebook and Instagram's censorship team) is going to be moved from California to Texas.

Oh, the symbolism, the symbolism of it.

The argument that January 6 was an attempted coup is as follows:

The assembled crowd (or "mob" if you prefer) that had listened to Trump lie about a "stolen election" and declare that it was Mike Pence's duty to refuse to certify Biden's victory immediately moved on to the Capitol building — in its initial entry violently forcing its way into the building, injuring dozens of police officers —to attempt to stop or disrupt a joint session of Congress from formalizing Biden's victory, which, had they ultimately been successful, would have forced the country into a constitutional crisis in which Trump might have been able to maintain power.

Whether or not this sequence of events was part of a deliberate plan by Trump to stop a legitimate transfer of power (in which case it would have indeed been an attempted coup) or just a case of things getting out of control with an emotional crowd — a sequence of events that Trump had neither planned nor wanted —is a matter of debate.

But to "literally not understand how people could entertain that it was an attempted coup" is an indicator of hyperpartisan cognitive impairment.
To refresh the memory of those people who are going to come into these replies with videos of people strolling inside the velvet ropes. Image

Do I think it was an attempted coup? I do not, because I don't think the intentionality existed at the top to use a violent mob to stop the transfer of power.

No person has ever brought ignominy and disrepute upon a once-respected publication as quickly and decisively as this ridiculous woman. Image
No, women aren't as fast as men. No, racism doesn't explain the near-complete absence of blacks in scientific innovation. No, EO Wilson wasn't a white supremacist. No, the lab-leak theory for COVID origins isn't a "rightwing hoax." And on and on.
Science. Image

1/ At a South African university, an argument is made to eliminate science from study (because it's a "product of Western modernity) and to "restart [it] from an African perspective."

What should be studied? The speaker suggests "black magic."
2/ When a "science person" objects, he is scolded by the organizer for "disrespecting the sacredness of this space," and asked to apologize, which he does. But that doesn't stop the scolding. Opinions can only be expressed under rules that appear to guide outcomes.
3/ The "black magic" advocate then adds that, despite the fact that she took some science in high school, she decided to not be on the science faculty because science stands in the way of "decolonization."

(Note: Africa was decolonized over 50 years ago.)

"Intelligence has been the primary evolutionary vector for humans. What is underappreciated is how much happened in the last 10k years. There was an intelligence explosion ~6k years ago with sudden development of writing, agriculture, elementary math, etc."

[Italics mine]
@EPoe187 @Russwarne @Steve_Sailer @AporiaMagazine
In other words: Evolution didn't magically stop when humans exited Africa, and the most important evolutionary adaptation to the novel environments encountered by humans occurred not below the neck, but above it.
