There was a similar issue with the analysis of Amazon. Their total workforce grew from 77K to 1.2M in the period he analyzes (acquired Whole Foods, built delivery business). The % of managers who were white men decreased, but the raw number of white male managers grew exponentially.
The 2013 iteration of Vox Media was a sports site, a tech site, and a video game site.
The mergers with Eater, Curbed, Racked, New York, and other publications with more female-oriented editorial missions had a large mechanical impact in terms of bringing more women into the company.

I'm seizing this opportunity to retcon Phantom Menace. Midichlorians were never real, Qui-Gon was just the Jedi version of a MAHA quack.
damn man i didn't realize this is what he meant by "a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you"
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.
In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

At best, Trump knew what Epstein was up to and took no meaningful action to stop him. More likely, Trump is pedophile himself!

You CANNOT say this! Caving is bad enough, you don’t have to do it in a way that maximally emboldens Trump.
The message should be something like “hungry people can’t afford to wait for the courts to reverse Trump’s illegal SNAP cuts.” Or better yet, don’t cave!

The fastest way for the Democrats to become competitive in the south again would be for Trump to make a bunch of SEC football hires. I think everyone should let Jeff Landry know what a great idea that is.

Gov. Jeff Landry had other plans.
“No, I can tell you right now Scott Woodward is not selecting our next coach,” Landry said during a news conference at the state capitol in Baton Rouge on Wednesday.
“Maybe we’ll let President Trump pick it,” he added.

LSU does not have a full-time president, athletic director or head football coach, and the governor is sticking himself into the whole process.
