I've tried to get enthusiastic about pie. Favorite pie? I don't care, man. I'll eat the sweet with the topping. Pie is just never going to be cake though. The best pie is never going to be better than an okay cake.

When people talk about nepo babies, it's this. Not that they can't be talented & might have succeeded anyway. They have freedom, access to knowledge, & opportunity others don't & yeah, some aren't talented & they still succeed. And shrink the pool of talent.
Not to mention the infamous “unpaid internship” in all of these fields. Affluent candidates get the training and connections they need to be successful.

This is one of those things that rarely gets talked about that has had a massive effect.
As fields like journalism, art, and academia were collapsed and living expenses skyrocketed they came to skew increasingly toward people whose families could afford to supplement their income.

If you're ever wondered why journalists seem so out of touch most of the time it's because in order to establish yourself you need to either come from money, marry into money, or be OK with abject poverty and daily financial panic

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies.

Everything about this regime seems like tools for men to hurt women.
ICE arrested the mother of Leavitt’s nephew, and the comment from her brother makes it hard not to wonder if the woman was intentionally targeted.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
