I hope somewhere down the line history books remember this time of darkness and attribute a majority of it to the international proliferation of Russian misinformation.
How did they not see this coming and have something in place? Not to victim blame. I’m just like, if you are in a position of leadership in yor nation’s security how did you not strategize this scenario coming up? Either way, please isolate us (the US). We fucking deserve to lose leverage.
I went to Beijing and noticed young people in the stores and coffee shops who worked there sometimes would put red armbands when they saw me. It felt creepy. It’s a shame their culture has been so shaped by authoritarianism. (Obviously it’s not just China that has this issue, btw). Ultimately the majority of the people I met were absolutely lovely. Truly terrifying experience Junjie had. Poor kid. Definitely can see that shit happening there, though.
Cool, cool. More jobs to disappear.
Yea. Def not the end solution. I keep encouraging people to get on Pixelfed and Mastadon.
I’m leaving Meta fully this year. I think that platform is in for a rude awakening.
500 billion… of H1B1 visas. Great work, MAGAs.
There was a pause?
edit: Huh… a pause from May 2024. Wouldn’t have known with everything else we’ve been sending them. But, all in all it seems like awful Bibi is getting what he wanted. A fully hobbled US government and all the weapons his rotten sould wants. Great.
Cool. Cool. So if he succeeds in revoking birthright, I guess none of us belong here. Though, I know that’s not what the white supremacists mean.
My Gen Y co-workers totally do. It’s cringetastic.

This is a lovely and illustrative example.
I posted above a few studies that show unconscious bias in hiring practices against people of color. There is a reason why DEI exists. It’s like OSHA laws. Every rule for these programs has a great misfortune behind it.
Cool story bro. Anyway …
"Numerous studies demonstrate that without fair hiring practices in place, certain groups of people are often favored over others due to unconscious biases.
A study by the University of Chicago and the University of California, Berkeley found that applicants with white-sounding names received 9% more callbacks compared to those with African-American-sounding names, despite having similar qualifications[1]. In some companies, this gap widened to nearly 19%[1].
Research from the UK showed that white candidates were favored in about 47% of hiring tests, with ethnic minority candidates needing to send twice as many applications to receive the same number of callbacks[6]. A more recent study by the University of Oxford found that candidates from minority ethnic backgrounds had to send 80% more applications to get the same results as white British applicants[6].
Gender bias has also been documented. A study on science faculty hiring revealed that identical applications randomly assigned male or female names resulted in men being rated as more competent and hireable, and even offered higher starting salaries[6].
These biases persist even in organizations committed to diversity. Research suggests that firms may unconsciously favor candidates from privileged backgrounds, such as those able to take unpaid internships, which introduces socioeconomic bias[7].
Without fair hiring practices, these studies consistently show that white candidates, males, and those from higher socioeconomic backgrounds tend to be favored in the hiring process, highlighting the need for interventions to reduce bias and promote equity in recruitment."

The Chinese are pretty heartless about the homeless from my own personal interactions with them on the topic. They call them pitiful and call the police on them if they’re in plain sight. And if you ask a general Beijinger about the homeless in China they’re super blasé about the answer and brush it off on family needing to step up and take care, how the mainland is building affordable housing (and maybe they are idk), or how everyone with limbs should be able to work. The attitude is very conservative against homeless from what I have seen. I liked my tripto Beijing but China isn’t all roses and sunshine.
