Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

As with mass shootings in America, hand-wringing, feckless journalists say of the murderous bastard who drove a car at high speed through a Magdeburg Christmas market, "His motive is not yet known." TL;DR: His justification is unneeded. He is a child murderer whose motive was murder and mayhem.

As the former owner of a new Ford Explorer (I regularly had to pull fuses to hard-reset its insanely bad Sync system) I am confident that Ford’s total incompetence will render it unable to exploit any data it harvests. Still, I object strongly to tools like this. gizmodo.com/ford-seeks-p...

It's nice to see that there's some proper research being done into filter failure at the outrage factory - it's well worth reading the whole thread (and just a shame that the paper is behind a paywall). My own thoughts from 5+ years ago - blog.thestateofme.com/2019/02/13/f...

When you think about it, Wikipedia is one of the only OG websites that hasn't succumbed to paywalls, wall to wall ads, pop ups, algorithms designed to frustrate and screw you over. And it maintains its social status. No wonder Elon hates it so much.
