That Couple are in the news arĆs. surprisingly, the racist, sexist dog holds opinions that a racist, sexist dog could be expected to hold, and doesnāt think poor people should have more babies. He does want Native Americans to have more babies, though, because theyāre āon the verge of extinctionā, and he thinks of cultural groups and races as exhibits in a human zoo. Simone Collins sits next to her racist, sexist dog of a husband and explains how paid parental leave could lead to companies being reluctant to hire women (although her husband seems to think all women are good for us having kids).
This gruesome twosome deserve each other: their kids donāt.

I do indeed. A bucket always seemed like pretty poor.protection from the end of the world, even if it was full of purified water and high protein MREs and whatever else. I suppose you could put it on your head and make like Ned Kelly

Planning for securing food in a nuclear winter? What a great wheeze. If your advice isnāt any good, nobody can tell until thereās a nuclear winter, and if there is a nuclear winter they wonāt exactly be able to ask for their money back because theyāll be too busy dying of radiation sickness.

I honestly donāt know, and if anyone tries to find out he might delete his blog again. If he is on a Thiel sinecure or running his own business, he shouldnāt be using the first person

I donāt think Scott Alexander is entitled to get annoyed about excessive anti-racism programmes in the workplace given that he is well known to be very racist.
Hell, maybe he has done an above-average number of unconscious bias trainings and DEI workshops and racism book clubs, but itās because he keeps talking about how black people are mentally inferior at work and making him do training is cheaper than firing him.

California just had a small one the other day, so maybe Scott Alexanderās shitty opinions cause earthquakes.

Noted sex pest Andrew Cuomo wants to run for Mayor in New York, and he might actually have a chance given the incumbent Democratic candidate is corruption magnet Eric Adams. Housing is a big issue in New York, so whatās Cuomoās plan? Well, his plan is to use chat gpt to write his plan.
Angry New York Democrats were using the slogan DREAM meaning Donāt Rank Eric Adams for Mayor. It was then amended to Donāt Rank Eric or Andrew for Mayor, and amended again to Donāt Rank Evil Andrew for Mayor.

I think Ian Levine loves Doctor Who more than he loves disco. Thatās the only explanation for Doctor In Distress.

All Iāve learned from the most recent round of publicity is that herself has a new hat. It looks stupid

Infamous Dr Who ābig name fanā Ian Levine is using generative AI to recreate lost episodes of the show. This got some mainstream press coverage and fans seem miffed.

We wanted to be able to hold a job without reciting DEI shibboleths or filling in multiple-choice exams about how white people cause earthquakes. Instead we got a thousand scientific studies cancelled because they used the string ātrans-ā in a sentence on transmembrane proteins.
If you were too racist to see the wood for the trees, thatās your problem comrade! Well, actually itās everyoneās problem now.

I think theyāre claiming that they are aware of the potential issues in how knowledge is produced (bias, unconscious or not)ā¦but they think that they are uniquely humble and aware of all the issues, they certainly arenāt influenced by ideology, and they arenāt susceptible to the same logical fallacies as everyone else.
