NPR veteran describes the transformation of NPR from a news to an activist organization after Trump's election:
"During most of my tenure [at NPR], an open-minded, curious culture prevailed. We were nerdy, but not knee-jerk, activist, or scolding.
In recent years,…
I wonder if the millions of people who helped make this post go viral know that the adult women's world record in this event is almost a second slower than that for 14 year-old boys.
A map showing the annual water flow of American rivers tells you that no matter how beautiful it is, the Southwest is only capable of sustaining a limited population.
I would suggest that this photo is best understood as a cautionary tale about what is likely to happen if you start a war against a far more powerful enemy by slaughtering and kidnapping its citizens.
PTSD, legs blown off by land mines, getting spat upon by draft dodgers at airports after returning home. White men will use any excuse to paint themselves as victims.
She is not an outlier. This is normal.
Most blacks applying to medical school with average MCATs and 3.3 GPAs get in.
Percentage of Asians who are accepted with these credentials: 6%

The Seattle judge who dismissed charges against activists who blocked an interstate for several hours.
Nothing screams "judicial temperament" quite like jumbo-sized fake eyelashes.
Percentage of world population that is Muslim: 24%
Percentage that is Jewish: 0.2%
Number of Nobel Prizes in science, medicine, and

Seems like an easier choice than I imagined.
I'm guessing that the professor who prepared that graphic didn't think to herself, "I'm going to indoctrinate my students today." Nope, she honestly and earnestly believed that it is an accurate and nuanced description of reality.
Studies conducted over the last several years have consistently found that the US is among the least racist nations in the world.
India is widely considered to be the most racist country.
I love US but it's the most racist country I've ever been to
I post this because I see a lot of fellow Americans posting that America is the least racist country
We delude ourselves. We are the most racist, warmongering & ignorant state
No surprise we vote in leaders like this
Academic researchers discover a population in the UK Biobank with 600,000% more father-daughter incest than the general UK population, but because of concerns about "Islamophobia", publication of this information was not allowed.

Just 10 streams carry 95% of all river-borne plastic into the ocean. If you want to fix ocean pollution here is a good starting point. Excellent book on the matter by Hannah Ritchie:

About 70% of liberal 12th grade girls believe women are discriminated against in getting a college education, despite the fact that women obtain more bachelor's, master's, and PhD degrees than men, and there are 11 times more women's-only than men's-only scholarships in the US.
Over the last 64 years, a black person has been 39 times more likely to murder a white female than a white person has been to murder a black female.
No, I didn't say 39 percent more likely. I said 39 times more likely.
Why does Google's almost comically anti-white AI generate only pictures of non-white people when prompted to draw 17th century physicists?
Because when you prompt it to do this, your prompt is first processed by its language model, which instructs its image generator to draw…
People say, "America has never seemed crazier than it is now."
Well, no. It has seemed crazier before.
Imagine that you are an American parent in 1963. You are a veteran of WW2. Your wife has never worked. You're the average American family.
Now fast forward five or six years,…
Hitler: WW2, Holocaust, bad art
Musk: Electric vehicles, expanding internet access, future space travel
Who's worse?

DEI divisions at large state universities are often huge. At Michigan, for example, DEI is so big that if its payroll were converted to a scholarship fund for in-state students, nearly 900 people could attend Michigan tuition-free.
When I was 18, I had a summer job at a radio station that required me to ride my bike for at least a mile through the worst ghetto in our city. The black kids would see me coming, hop on their bikes, and then come tearing after me, yelling about what they would do if they caught…
There’s a whole genre of hipster commentary that can be summarized as, “I went to a bad neighborhood and wasn’t immediately executed, so the concerns have clearly been overblown”
Just how bad is the bias in the media in favor of its own oppression narratives? This chart quantifies some of it: Unarmed white victims of police violence get only a tiny fraction of the news coverage that black ones do — maybe about two to three percent as much.
@monitoringbias
For a *very* long time, US media was racist against non-white people, now they’re racist against whites & Asians.
Same thing happened with elite colleges & high schools in America.
Maybe they can try not being racist.
Meanwhile Amazon Studios seeks one character from each of the following categories for speaking roles of any size:

In my first job with a large and well-known organization, I was hired at the same time as a woman my age. (We were both in our twenties.) There were about 20 people in our division, most of them men. The women tended to be tough, no-nonsense types.
At the first full staff…
- 2.34% of black men who turned 25 years old in 1998 had already offed someone by then.

The percentage growth in the number of health care administrators compared to that in physicians: That tiny barely-visible yellow sliver at the bottom of the graph is the growth in physicians, and the towering Alpine peaks on top of it is the growth in administrators.
Life under the iron fist of The Patriarchy: Women in the US outpace men in AP course completion and college degrees (including PhDs), while men outpace women in deaths on the job, incarceration, drug addiction and homelessness.
Pew Research found that liberal women are about 10 times more likely to have been diagnosed with a mental health condition by age 30 than conservative and moderate men have been by age 65, and about 2.5 times more likely than conservative women in their same age cohort.
ZERO students passed the state math proficiency test at 53 Illinois public schools (almost all of whom are majority-black). At one such school — a "prep school" designed to prepare students for medical careers — the per student spending is $47,000.
The pathological altruism of affluent white female liberals: A privileged white woman forgives her mother's killer, a black man. When he's released, she gives him a job working at the house where her mother was killed.
He then murders her at that house.
Slavery in the Ottoman Empire lasted over 500 years (as much as 20% of the empire's population was enslaved), primarily enslaved Europeans, preceded slavery in America, and continued into the 20th century.
No one in modern Turkey feels the slightest twinge of guilt about it.…
I am Iranian, and I'm sick and tired of Western progressives implying that only Westerners are capable of colonialism, slavery and evil acts.
That type of thinking actively hurts non-Westerners seeking freedom under autocratic regimes.
He's right of course.
Intellectuals were never meant to be people with average SAT scores and degrees in Magazine Journalism from third-tier colleges.
They were meant to be smart people who aren't seething racists and aren't afraid of debating people.
Mediocrity: One of world's richest self-made people, heads most successful electric car company in history, provides internet access to millions, leader in rocket and spacecraft manufacturing, and more.

A point I make to conservatives who claim that test scores show "US schools are failing" is that US Asians and whites are near the top in international achievement, ranked 3rd and 7th, respectively, on the PISA.
The dismal US average score (26th) is the result of the lousy…

Just go to a state school. The premium you're paying for elite private colleges vs. the better public schools is for social clout and not the quality of the education. And that's worth a lot less now that people have figured out that elite higher ed is cringe.
National Geographic "permanently discontinued" its GeoBee competition in order to replace it with "more equitable participation," adding that its "increased focus on racial injustice challenge us to find new... ways to engage young people."

This is the most racist depiction of Arabs I've seen on modern television.

Excerpts from this must-read article about the woke hellscape that is Google:

"according to people close to the project, the team responsible for Gemini was not only warned about its 'overdiversification'…
I spent the last week interviewing employees from teams across Google expecting a story of woke lunacy. What I learned was worse: the company is an existentially vulnerable search monopoly crippled by process. It has no vision, no leadership, and no way to win the AI arms race.
Black women have a higher murder perpetration rate than both white men and Asian men.
The US is the only nation in the world in which females from one major demographic group have a higher murder rate than males from another major demographic group.
A new study outlines how white people’s migration during and after the Civil War bolstered white supremacy and institutional racism in non-slave states, contributing to the vast racial disparities that exist today nationwide.

This is really a must-read piece from NPR senior editor Uri Berliner discussing how NPR morphed from a liberal newsroom with some bias to an organization dominated by activists set on telling readers what to think and refusing to account for mistakes.
If you had asked me ten or twenty years ago what the biggest issue facing America was, I would have said the national debt.
Now it's not even on my radar. It is over. There's no coming back from the mountain of debt we've built up under Obama and Trump and Biden. It's absurd to…
The reason why so many woke people turn out to have been bigoted in the past is because bigotry used to be the best way to bully and intimidate people, but now performative anti-bigotry is the best way to bully and intimidate people. An evolving toolset for sociopaths.

Right wingers are, overall, too busy to involve themselves in activism/protests……you know, stuff like family, jobs, school activities, etc get in the way.
"White people created a statistical concept centuries ago so that they could blame black people in 21st century America for committing murder at 9 times the rate that white people do."
The answer to the question is "yes".
Google was manipulating its search results to advance "equity" as far back as 2018. It described in an online FAQ how it prioritized "algorithmic fairness" over factual accuracy.
A few years ago, a professor argued in a tweet that because blacks score lower on cognitive testing than Asians and whites we needed to discuss how we could "decolonize" these tests to equalize test outcomes, to which I replied that such decolonization would require the removal…
The Science dept at Australia's most prestigious university, is now offering a course in "Indigenous Mathematics," in an effort to "decolonise maths."
"Numbers and arithmetic and accounting often are of secondary importance in Indigenous mathematics."
Back in 2018, on another (now deleted) account, I predicted that colleges would eventually abandon the SAT in order to bury evidence that could be used against them in admissions discrimination lawsuits brought by Asians and whites. The people in my replies said I was nuts.

The most protected group in America is black people.
Our media ignore or suppress the staggering disproportionality of their criminal violence.
Our elite institutions respond to their resentments, envy and lagging test scores with offers of undeserved access.
Excuses are made…
“No amount of wealth, achievements, accolades, or notoriety will offer safety and protection in an anti-black world. Black excellence will never be enough…”
But wait, the denial gets even more bizarre: White liberals now also believe that white people are more violent than blacks.
Fact check: In the year in which white liberals expressed this opinion, blacks committed murder at a rate 11 times higher than non-Hispanic whites.
White liberals refusing to "believe the science" on race differences in intelligence: As a group, they rate blacks as more intelligent than whites.
There's literally no scientific evidence to support this belief. The mean cognitive advantage of US whites over blacks has been…
"Blacks aren't more criminal."
But it can be illegal for companies to use criminal background checks because they "discriminate against blacks."
"Blacks aren't less smart."
But it can be illegal for companies to use IQ tests because they "discriminate against blacks."
The Biden administration is suing Sheetz for discriminating against minorities.
The reason? The company requires all the applicants to first pass a criminal record background check.
You are now required to hire criminals.
