And here's yet another example. The opposite of diversity equity and inclusion isn't merit. It's prejudice nepotism and cronyism. Instead of broadening the talent pool and hiring on merit, PNC narrows the talent pool. Anyone who's not a nepobaby or crony need not apply.

Every thing I hear about the other Alan seems really solid and grounded in principle. I don't share his beliefs but he's absolutely correct about the state of Christianity. Season 3 is a lot of fun.

Dept of Social Services disclosed private legal letters with the Catholic Church which were then leaked to The Australian newspaper and used in concert to try and silence survivors of abuse by a senior Church member. Yeah, it's nuts. But they admitted it. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

Big Gas is taking the piss. Help us spread the word, and share this. 👇 90% of WA’s gas is exported. Big Gas takes 73% the gas for free. To add insult to injury, these gas exporters have never paid resources tax. Add your name to make them pay their fair share: theaus.in/collect_gas_... #auspol

If only someone could have told him how lazy and deeply unintelligent Trump is. He didn't even want to go through each J6 insurrectionist to vet before pardoning. Got too overwhelmed and did a blanket pardon like a lazy cnut who doesn't care about the outcome (also, he's been bankrupted six times).

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Wait til we get to the really Big Lie. The war will be over by Christmas? No, this one. "My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori." ("It is sweet and proper to die for your fatherland")

This is fascism. What the US is doing, by deporting people to countries where they have no ties, and where they will almost certainly be subject to further forcible deportation, is trying to side-step around the crime known as refoulement. Also note the implicit dehumanising by never showing faces.

"If I was able to wave a magic wand even now, I would start the planning for an underground rail system "It would cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but I can assure you when you look back in 50 years, or 100 years, whatever you pay today would seem cheap." -- Jeff Kennett, 2012
