“American Ideals”
Today’s random thought: replace all those DEIA programs with American Ideals programs that emphasize meritocracy and fair play (you know… the American ideal) and a conscious avoidance of groupthink. Hiring and promotion would be blinded so only the qualifications are visible. There could be American flags and eagles and Superman images or something.
I wonder if we could make that work?
(I heard about a company that had a zoom/mass email/whatever that basically said, “we have a lot government contracts. We’re ending our DEI programs, but we want you to know everybody is welcome here.” And I’m like… Really? Why don’t you prove it by having an explicit program that doesn’t trigger the white-wing snowflakes with recognizable keywords?)
Looks like WordPress.com has changed how the Mastodon plug in works
A few days ago, my WP posts stopped coming through to Mastodon, which I guess is when WP deployed a change to how the Mastodon plugin worked? I haven’t really been paying attention and don’t really think I should have to (stupid technology).
So now, on the blog’s Jetpack | Social settings page, you can syndicate to other social media sites, so now my blog posts looks like my regular Mastodon posts (I wonder how long posts will come through? I guess we’ll see.).

Just a wee test blog post.

Well… not *everything*, Liz. Reagan was a racist homophobe, too.
Donald Trump seeks to distance himself from inflation uptick
«Trump instead placed the blame on former President Biden in an interview Tuesday, decrying what he characterized as reckless spending during the previous administration.
“Inflation is back. No, think of it: Inflation’s back,” the president told Fox News’s Sean Hannity during an interview alongside tech billionaire Elon Musk that aired Tuesday night. “And they said, ‘Oh, Trump,’ and I had nothing to do with that.”»
I wonder how long that excuse will work.

Here we go. Exceptions for me, none for thee.
Trump is going to act like the arch villain that was bullied as a child. “How do you like me now?”
PC Gamer: Epic sues Fortnite cheater, donates his winnings to charity, forces him to publicly apologise, bans him for life, and all but sends him to his room without dinner
«Sadly the player in question, who in a bout of nominative determinism goes by the handle Morgan ‘RepulseGod’ Bamford, didn’t have the stones to deliver their apology in-person…»
I’m not a gamer, but this headline is just too good. Are you paying attention, *New York Times*?

Trump’s Evil USAID Cuts Hurting Farmers Now, And Republicans Are Like OH F*CK
«Plus, USAID’s inspector general was recently fired (illegally, as you’d expect) for releasing a report estimating that nearly half a billion dollars worth of food aid was going to waste — stuck in ports, or in transit with no plans to distribute it, or just plain rotting in warehouses.»
