I work at a FTSE 100 in London. My black colleagues reaction to the pushback on DEI from the right has just been so depressing. They’re not remotely surprised and seemed to have suspected that this ill will was there all along. The west really was just putting makeup on a dog all these years wasn’t it.

You’re joking but this isn’t far from the truth. Self destructive behaviours wiping out species not clever enough to change their behaviour is as old as the earth.

This has really started turning me into more of a conspiracy theorist. I’m a centre left Labour voter and Kier Starmer’s absolute refusal to engage with any criticism of Israel when children are being amputated… It’s very eye opening on who really pulls the strings of power in the west. The European Parliament has just blocked even debating the ongoing breaking of the ceasefire.

Money talks.

I mean if you’re a pro-gun, pro-life, capitalist evangelical who wants less immigration - not voting is the best we can hope for.

‘Oh it’s ok, they’ll still do it for the of it despite being poor, I’ll still get my music.’

This sums up modern society so well. I don’t even think it’s ill intentioned, just that the Epstein class has convinced us that individualism is ok. Conveniently.

I was watching the new David Attenborough show here in the UK Kingdom and I realised that all the orchestral work that is done to align with moments on screen will probably be AI soon. The tech is defo there already and it’s an easy way to cut budget. A shame.

Thanks for the chuckle this morning internet stranger.

We are territorial animals. Creating a shared enemy for your tribe/pack/herd etc to fear/hate works better than anything, even to the extent you will turn a blind eye to your sides leaders blatant incompetence and corruption. He might be shit, but he’s our shit. We did the same thing when Biden was a gibbering doddery oap, and Labour are doing it now in the UK despite Starmer and Co governing from the sodding right.

She might be bonkers but she’s shrewd and seen the way the winds blowing. She’s going to do a Liz Truss and position herself as the ‘sensible’ option for change in the MAGA movement, when Trump either pops his clogs or the Epstein Files drop.

Garland’s understandable desire to appear a-political in the Jan 6th and Trump cases will be a stick the left use to beat the moderates in the Democrat party for decades, and rightly so.

If Garland hadn’t wasted 15 months working from the bottom (rioters) up Trump would probably be in prison now. I think he was well intentioned but didn’t have the bottle to be the guy who put the wheels in motion for banging up a President.

When he announced a WWE CEO as head of education for the first time ever I started wondering if we’re in a simulation. Top bracket satire.

Ah man I’m really sorry to hear that. Hopefully Virginia and New York are the first signs of a well deserved backlash. A lot of the companies that went all in on AI to replace UX/UI and research are quietly hiring back now. All the best.
