John Tierny: More and More People Understand that DEI Stands for "Didn't Earn It"
"Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" [is] a textbook example of doublespeak, the term inspired by Orwell's 1984 dystopia in which the Newspeak language enables citizens to engage in "doublethink"--simultaneously holding two contradictory beliefs. The words in DEI sound like admirable goals, but the officials mouthing them are working to do just the opposite, as Florida governor Ron DeSantis observed when he banned DEI initiatives at public universities. What DEI really stands for, DeSantis said, is "Discrimination, Exclusion and Indoctrination." That formulation hasn't caught on, but another one has: "Didn't Earn It." It went viral this spring after Ian Miles Cheong, a conservative journalist, and Scott Adams, the Dilbert cartoonist, tweeted it to their 2 million followers on X. Adams, who had fearlessly predicted in 2015--six months before the first Republican primary--that Donald Trump would be elected president because of his skill as a "master persuader," tweeted another forecast: "Whoever came up with 'Didn't Earn It' as the description of DEI might have saved the world. Normally, the clever alternative names people use to mock the other side's policy are nothing but grin-worthy. This one could collapse the whole racist system. It's that strong." Sure enough, "Didn't Earn It" has become an Internet meme, a buzz phrase on social media, and a conservative talking point on cable television, radio, and podcasts. It appears in posts linking to Kamala Harris, the plagiarism accusations against DEI officers at Harvard and MIT, the 50 percent failure rate on tests of medical students at UCLA, and the sentencing of a DEI executive for stealing $5 million during her work at Facebook and Nike. In the surest sign of its success, "Didn't Earn It" has been solemnly denounced by DEI executives, progressive pundits, and the left-wing watchdogs at Media Matters, which was so alarmed that it published a report documenting the phrase's popularity and--inevitably--labeling it "racist." There's nothing racist about expecting people to earn what they get, which is why the phrase is so powerful.... This pretense inspired ludicrous doublespeak, as when Harvard and the University of Texas at Austin told the Supreme Court that their consideration of race would improve the chances of some applicants but never negatively affect other applicants--a claim that "defies the law of mathematics," as Justice Samuel Alito observed. DEI executives like to say that they're defending women against "systemic sexism," but hundreds of studies in the past two decades have shown that female applicants for jobs in academia and other industries are now favored over similarly qualified males. However widespread racism and sexism were in the past, Americans have now experienced a half century of programs and policies promoting reverse discrimination. They're sick of pretending that it's not happening.Related: See the sidebar for the firing of Brihana Joy Gray. Konstantin Kisin adds this:
Konstantin KisinDEI Barbie. Wow. Dee you bitch. Via andycanuck, a white liberal would-be academic complains about not being able to find a job because all jobs are reserved for blacks. Then he cancels himself for thinking Unapproved Thoughts.
@KonstantinKisin DEI Barbie is upset. Imagine participating in a debate about Israel and Palestine. Imagine answering literally zero of the questions you were asked. Imagine talking over everyone else and being disrespectful to fellow panellists and the moderator. Imagine storming off stage afterwards, screaming that everyone is racist, telling the moderator "I'm never doing this again" and throwing the microphone at the debate organiser. Imagine then complaining online that your abject failure is the fault of the organisers, moderator and crowd.
This is beautiful: a DEI supporter becomes so frustrated with the reality of DEI that he blurts out the truth, then immediately apologizes and blames the Right. This is the archetype of the "white male ally"—a figure of supreme cowardice and self-deception. pic.twitter.com/mwwl4kAo6e

Frederiksen was said to be “shocked” by Friday’s incident, according to her office, but no further details were given on her condition. A man was arrested at the scene of the attack, in the Danish capital’s Kultorvet square, and led away in handcuffs.

Take some time this weekend to dive into this detailed piece by @ms_haleyjane on Milley's dirty fingerprints all over Jan 6.
Why was he talking to Susan Rice before Jan 6? Why did he and Army Sec Ryan McCarthy make last minute changes to chain of command for deployment of National Guard a few days before Jan 6?
Why was McCarthy MIA the entire afternoon?
High ranking National Guard officials recently disclosed new details of the delayed authorization for troops to the Capitol to @RepLoudermilk committee.
https://is.gd/srEIUw
According to top Natl Guard officials, McCarthy did not give the final ok until after 5pm on Jan 6.
And why was McCarthy at DC police HQ instead of Capitol police? And why was he preparing remarks for a presser with Muriel Bowser instead of securing the Capitol?
During congressional testimony, Col. Earl Matthews, legal counsel for DC National Guard, noted Milley's alleged fears of a "Reichstag moment" after the election. Milley helped sow fears Trump might use the military to remain in power

Kingmaker - Big IF! (True) @KingMakerFT 5h
The Hunter Biden trial involves the Special Counsel trying to prove Hunter was addicted and using drugs when he signed the gun purchase form saying he wasn’t. There are two remarkable facets so far.
First is the FBI testimony that they authenticated Hunter’s laptop not long after obtaining possession of it in December 2019. That’s the same laptop the FBI stood back and let 51 former intel officials, the media, and Joe Biden misled the voting public into believing it was all Russian disinformation and a “Russian plant.”
Second, we learned about another piece of evidence that the FBI and DOJ slow walked the investigation into Hunter’s crimes. They waited FIVE YEARS (until a few months after the sweetheart plea deal blew up in July 2023) to test the pouch the gun was found in for residues of cocaine.
Both of these revelations help confirm that Hunter and the Biden family come from a protected class of criminal defendants.

It would help if he was homosexual (seriously).
His problem is that he is in history - since most universities shy away from hiring incompetent engineering and chemistry professors, because there are obvious rapid consequences to doing so, the DEI hires are concentrated in the soft disciplines, so that the overall university numbers don't look too bad.

DEI is about taking the most absurdly vapid, dumb, unschooled, untalented, uncouth, mendacious, biased, inept people who exist purely on anger, and are encouraged by the timidity of cowards either afraid to call them out as stupid, racist and dense, or are cheered by those equally as biased and ignorant. It’s a grift of the dumb, who couldn’t put together a factual, realistic argument if Fani Willis was dangling a Benjamin between her ass cheeks and dared them to take it with their teeth- -because, you know, there’s more where that came from. It’s an absurdity, like Joe Biden playing chess against Kasparov, or having a stair climbing contest with Mitch McConnell.

George Clooney called one of President Biden’s top aides last month to complain about the president’s criticism of the International Criminal Court’s action against Israeli leaders — a case his wife, Amal Clooney, worked on.
Clooney called Steve Ricchetti, counselor to the president, to express concern about Biden’s denunciation of arrest warrants sought by ICC prosecutors for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, especially his use of the word “outrageous.”
The actor was also upset about the administration’s initial openness to imposing sanctions on the ICC because his wife might be subject to the penalties, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private conversation.

George Clooney called one of President Biden’s top aides last month to complain about the president’s criticism of the International Criminal Court’s action against Israeli leaders — a case his wife, Amal Clooney, worked on.
Clooney called Steve Ricchetti, counselor to the president, to express concern about Biden’s denunciation of arrest warrants sought by ICC prosecutors for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, especially his use of the word “outrageous.”
The actor was also upset about the administration’s initial openness to imposing sanctions on the ICC because his wife might be subject to the penalties, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private conversation.

The Left NEVER EVER EVER drops something. They even ignore the Supreme Court if it serves their purpose. The point is that they realized their mistake of being to open and obvious with DEI. So, now is the time when they re-brand and make it more subtle. The same "compliance officers" will be hired to police the "inclusion." The same key positions will be filled by DEI minded individuals. They just won't advertise their favoritism.
Instead of "Director of DEI" you will see positions created such as a very vague "compliance officer." They'll stuff them in the legal department, but they will be doing exactly with a DEI Director does, and with the same blanket authority. Human Resources positions will be filled with these type people, to assure the hiring goes just as they see fit. But, don't be so naive as to think they've given it up as a lost cause in corporations.

Me too and not in a good light as it evokes memories of that standoff with ranchers. Something about rancher's cattle were eating free grass on 'government land'. Why is there even such a thing as 'gov land'? It's either somebody's or it's The People's land, you now, Public. I bet deer were happily munching there too!!! But deer do not have bank accounts.

This is known. In 1978 I saw an episode of "All in the Family", in which Meathead was passed over for a job in favor of a black colleague. His liberality was mugged by reality. The prof he complained to told him "Too bad, so sad, but this is what will have to happen to make up for centuries of racism".
Norman Lear, planting those seeds...

Yup...I remember that episode. Meathead's "prefesser" said it may take 10 or 20 years to even things out. LOL
So....1998.

LOL. I had a French Canadian working for me (who was quite good), and I rapidly learned that letting him spend fifteen minutes at the beginning of the work day telling me how the previous night's matches had gone during the Stanley Cup was the most efficient way of disposing of the hockey talk.

There have been many historians in history that were our greatest thinkers, and in their own way, our greatest scientists, for how they developed into the art and brought us what we needed to know. Still some of the greatest writers in western history or historians.
_______________
Scientists are people who use the scientific method to extract new knowledge. That excludes historians. Could be greatest writers in Western history, but neither Gibbon nor even Shakespeare were scientists in any meaningful sense of the word.
_______________
I won’t badmouth so-called hard sciences, But 90% of those guys couldn’t give a speech to three people and one of the people they revere most is Fauci.
_______________
Not true, not true at all, on either count. Many scientists are excellent lecturers (e.g., Feynmann, Faraday, Sagan), because they have to explain complex ideas to various audiences.
Re Fauci, first, he is a physician, and a lifelong bureaucrat, not a scientist. And I'd appreciate a link to how revered he is by physicists and chemists, because that is not my experience.

IIRC after #MeToo there was a study accidentally released that was intending to make people feel sympathy for women because men were no longer teaming up with them in the workplace.
What the authors didn't realize they had done was demonstrate what women had done TO the workplace.
Even better? They addressed productivity. The Stronk and Empowered women's had dropped by something like 30-50% when they could no longerrely on men to do all their work for them team up with a man, while the men's productivity had increased when women weren't involved.
It did not turn out how they were hoping.

She was OK for a while but then I realized she was at high level strategery meeting with no clue how much time and effort that people had put into building the company.
She was in meetings when I was low man on the pole and I was managing director of a 3 mil division of a 15 mil company.
The day she had me fired I left.

113, I think we’ve done this before so no reason to do it again. Of course, I respect scientists in general though they’ve done their best ofver the last 10 or 20 years to make us not respect them. The same as true for so-called historians, But putting down historians is a really dumb idea and only people that are truly ignorant would come up with such an idea.
It is true historians and scholars of most arts have gone down over the years they have reduced their own vocation. But if I was in a general situation where someone needed to come up with some knowledge or an answer I would choose a well regarded historian over a scientist any day. I am sure many would disagree, but my opinion is well-founded.

Fair enough. The crucial consideration is that a lot of historians differ in their opinions. Scientists do also in the early stages of development of a field, but over time the nod goes to whoever produces the dispositive data to knock out contrary opinions, at which point one viewpoint tends to become the canon.
That's not to say that that can't change. New data, perhaps a new paradigm (which is usually a refinement or extension of an existing paradigm). Hence, e.g., Newtonian mechanics broadened to the subatomic level in quantum mechanics.
