It does not explicitly admit it, and seeing the quotes pulled separately make it harder to infer. But it's pretty clear when read in context that she's admitting that diversity is being factored into the longlists (which of course

I think she's missing the point here. First she says: > Every couple of years, someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about complains publicly that judging panels are picking books based on wokeness or diversity quotas or som

Seeing this headline I thought it was about AB Hernandez. Guess I should have realized the assembly would not have passed such a bill.

Unless I missed something, no one ever addressed the original question, which is how we know the policy was enforced along racially discriminatory lines. This requires knowing the extent of cheating in various racial groups and the extent o

Is it mitigated where the article is a discussion of coverage of Trump, rather than just ranting (in either direction)? This article was pretty nuanced, IMO.

The author makes a good point about how dating dynamics vary based on gender balance. There was a recent study that showed how much more power men have in the dating/hookup scene when there are more women, and how much less women like&

The autism part was only millions, I believe.

Who said it was scary? I just said there's been a spike in diagnoses. It did cost taxpayers millions of dollars, and I assume that only a fraction of that will ever be repaid by the perpetrators.

I was referring to the social services scandal that is rocking the state of Minnesota, and which involved fake autism diagnoses. [1] 1: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/09/24/feeding-our-future-...

The rate of autism diagnosis is really off the charts in MN these days...

Some can stream music over BT. If you want notifications you can get a cellular model or connect to wifi. But many people want to be left alone in the gym so would stay disconnected.

Do any of these sources adjust for the fact that people are not reporting crime in many places? When prosecutors don't enforce, police don't investigate, and people don't report crimes.

Automatic payments make banks sticky. Once you have your credit cards and utilities paid off with a particular account, you're probably not leaving.

Because a small number of checks have been free for many decades. They cost almost nothing to print. But banks now charge $20 for a small box. Add another $10 for shipping. I don't use checks often but have to buy a box in order to hav

I've seen these fees in personal accounts. They're usually waived if you maintain a certain minimum balance. Sometimes it's a few thousand dollars, but if you want things like free checks or other "perks" they can b

Some platforms don't pay much attention to these instructions. LinkedIn is impervious to my suggestions.

Ok, well you're doing a great job of splitting hairs but have not brought any evidence. Good luck in 4 years, to us all!

Eh, ok. [1] I guess there must be another reason Trump's campaign spent hundreds of millions of dollars broadcasting that ad. It was way more than they spent on any other ad. You're moving the goalpost here and pretending that neo

Probably that gender ideology played a sizable role in getting Trump re-elected. It was the topic of his most popular ad, and IIRC the plurality of swing state voters said it was the most important issue for them. So getting people to use p

Much of this is because ZIRP is gone. Getting OPM is harder when they have more options.

As others have suggested I just avoid pronouns. This seems to be a common approach.

by crackercrews 2y ago
You seem to be in agreement with my sentiment. There is also additional work in remembering which pronoun to use with which NB person. With most people, you just automatically say the right thing.

What about neopronouns? Can someone just make up a new set of words like zi / zim / zis and expect you to remember them whenever talking to or about that person?

Do you think people who previously drove into NYC are now walking from NJ? Or are they working remote? The photos of carless streets I've seen don't seem to be packed with pedestrians.
