Grimly brilliant.

“Today, DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism.”

My latest for the Guardian, in which I cite Lee Atwater, and bring lots of receipts.

Sorry, but it has to be said:

Absolute poison being spouted by the worst of humanity.

So many insecure white males in the World. I had thought the World had moved on, how wrong was I, it's so upsetting. In the UK Brexit was the trigger for intolerance. I'm getting on a bit & I really hope I live long enough to see a better a World & the likes of Farage & Trump humiliated.

You just know now that hires will be "on merit" it'll just be white guys eh?

*BTW Lewis has been brilliant in your absence 😉

I wonder if all the black Americans especially women who voted for the Orange Buffoon have any regrets

timewalkproject.bsky.social•12 days ago

Means not only anti black. It means anyone who is not White Male.

jjaglo.bsky.social•12 days ago

True

veencube.bsky.social•12 days ago

All lives matter? This is not a good look you know.

timewalkproject.bsky.social•12 days ago

No that isn't what I am saying. What I am saying is there are white privileged males and then there is the rest of us. Together we are in the majority. Which they hope we won't notice.

dovetails.bsky.social•11 days ago

True - it’s a way of covering their racism and misogyny all in one go.

What an awful excuse for bigotry and fascism. #BoycottGoogle

Mmm....grimly brilliant & sadly true!

Republicans, Conservatives, Reform. They all say it and they are all the same. Eventually, when they don't need them anymore the likes of Badenoch will be dumped by the roadside until the white men have total control.

I think all the people with even half a brain knew it was going to be a crazy administration but bloody hell he's gone beyond that. Terrifying times are ahead of

My theory on Trump is that he is making money manipulating the markets. His advisors will know how markets work and how he can create instability. With him in charge, playing the stock market is akin to playing poker with a marked deck.

I've read the article and sent The Guardian some money as a thank you.

The piece is exactly right.

Outlawing the use of the world privilege at the NSA has made it very hard for them to talk or act on privilege escalation which is key part of any hack.

clearly hackers are going to use terms on the proscribed list if they know agents cannot talk about them.

its really that stupid

To all the corporates reversing equality and diversity initiatives, the anti-woke, DEI culling CEOs and compliant press, all those cutting words, pictures and readjusting the diversity of history. You are colluding with and enabling White Suprematism and misogyny - Nazism in the 21st century.

almunro.bsky.social•12 days ago

Given Trump's definition of DEI, the US now has it's first DEI president.

manmtmike.bsky.social•11 days ago

And 100% accurate

jessica84.bsky.social•11 days ago

I've enjoyed the comics lately that just ask which bit of DEI do you disagrre with Diversity, Equality or Inclusively?

Says it all really.

Except DEI can also be used to denigrate women, LGBT+, etc. Anyone who isn't a straight, white man

I am at a Radiology AI Summit in London right now and learning that resources for AI regulation on FDA website have already changed wording to remove segments of text pertaining to DEI. It is also concerning that they should avoid talking about bias which is a core concept in AI.

On a lighter note: Grimly Brilliant was the nemesis of Grimly Fiendish

Piers Morgan constantly defending these two.
