zuck is a miserable piece of shite
Look, Trump won an overwhelming 49.9% of the popular vote to Harris's meager 48.4%, of the 63.9% of eligible voters who turned out. We need to acknowledge the massive landslide victory this was, the clear mandate it provides Trump, and forfeit all gains made for equality and inclusion made over the last 50 years.

I guess you know you’ve made some progress when there’s some lashback about it. I tend to take an optimistic view that racism isn’t going to die quietly, so we shouldn’t despair if it puts up something of a fight.
Not sure what we expected of Facebook, soulless bastards that they are.
I will say though that DEI departments have sometimes breathed their own farts so long that they put out truly ridiculous shit that makes them look like clowns.
I work in software and our DEI group said “hey can we start saying ‘block list’ and ‘allow list’ instead of ‘blacklist’ and ‘whitelist?” And I thought okay sure, that’s a pretty clear case of white=good, black=bad. Not that anyone means ill by it but it’s a very easy thing to let go.
Then they came out and said we should not use the phrase “long time no see,” because native Americans might think that you are talking in a Native American stereotype caricature voice, and feel excluded.
I was like uh… what? “Long time no see” is Native American blackface? Give me a fucking break.
