My electrician is a green card holder who's been here since he was a kid. He got married to a citizen, applied for citizenship, went to court for the papers and when he got there ICE kidnapped him and he's been locked up for a month.

lol so evidence dating back to the 1970s has made one consistent conclusion over and over and over again:
Employers definitely hire white people because they're white.

You’ll never guess who else experienced ‘racism’ on the job market despite their unimpeachable academic credentials.

Yeah tbh I think we do need more genders for pretty much this reason. Sorry if this is too "woke" but I am just being pragmatic here.
This suggests we should increase the variety of pronouns to allow for a larger range of characters speaking together in short stories

I want to share my experience today with Google support, trying to get Gemini (their AI/plagiarism machine) turned off in my Google workspace account. That account is where I personally do all my work communication—I am an editor, and most of my work contracts explicitly ban any use of Generative AI

Mikie Sherrill told police unions this year that she opposes giving subpoena power to local civilian police oversight boards.
That’s been a big demand of local officials & activists, for years — and more officials were elected on that platform this fall.

Michael Dorn as Worf returning was one of the few triumphs of Picard, he was absolutely great in a wonderful take on the character.
Happy 73rd Birthday to Michael Dorn. 🎂🎉

Chic hits #1 today in 1978 with “Le Freak”, a song originally titled “F**k Off!” — and written after the band was turned away by the bouncers at Studio 54.
“We go back to my apartment really pissed off,” said Nile Rodgers, “and Bernard starts singing, ‘Ahhh, f**k off!’ .. and that became the hook.”

Unusually sexy in that they are Actually Sexy and not merely Good Looking, which a lot of rock bands get wrong
Since I am Arctic Monkeys posting lately I guess I will add that this song also does a very good job of creating a languid sexual atmosphere. I think they are/were just an unusually sexy band tbh.
