Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

This article lays it out plainly. There's nothing to repeal. Costco doesn't have a DEI program. It doesn't have a diversity policy. It simply doesn't use discriminatory hiring practices. These AGs are in hysterics bcuz Costco refuses to segregate its business.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

the explicit goal of this administration is to pin every problem this country has on minorities rather than solve any of them it's racism all the way down

Don’t use ChatGPT, and especially don’t use it instead of your brain

laughing myself to tears at this thread 🤣

Why don't we also have Magic: the Hunting? And when will both Magic: the Hunting and Magic: the Gathering be replaced/supplemented by Magic: the Stable Agriculture in a Fixed Community With Entrenched Social Structures?

Seconded.

If you’re not afraid of getting canceled, you fucking coward, why didn’t you let them print your name?

ATTN: THREAD: The loyalty interviews have begun in DC. As someone who has direct experience with this, I have a couple of recommendations for all federal workers. Please share this widely, and with any federal government employee you know. 1/

So well-done!

“You feel so good,” America said as it slid across Lake Superior. “Whose province is this?” Canada tightened its border, and America groaned. “You want to be one?” Canada smirked. “Say my name.” “US,” America hissed. “No,” Canada said as it sank down, swallowing America whole. “You’re mine.”
