My latest for @forbes.com - Caitlin Clark's rookie trading card sold for $366,000 four months ago. That figure represents over $150,000 more than the maximum WNBA single-season salary and $28,000 more than Clark will earn across her entire four-year rookie contract. www.forbes.com/sites/lindse...

My latest for Forbes: As the 2025 NCAA Women’s March Madness Tournament tips off, a long-overdue change has finally arrived. For the first time, women’s teams are receiving monetary "units" for tournament participation, a perk men’s teams have enjoyed for decades.

your expected way of life/quality of life suffers. The 2020 census found that the white population decreased by roughly 8.6% since 2010 - making America white again isn’t the blueprint for any level of success. And we will all suffer if folks believe it is.

So the same idiots complaining about DEI have absolutely no clue what the overall execution has been for programs that exist under that terminology

The pilot indicated the projections were bleak in terms of the numbers of aspiring pilots in the next few decades. And guess what - much of the DEI initiatives that are used revolve around access- to not only increase talent pools but also maintain
04.02.2025 20:57 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0The reality is that major airlines don’t have enough aspiring pilots in the pipeline to continue operations safely. DEI is a mechanism to attract, recruit, and retain talented individuals who may not see themselves in those roles. I had an eye opening discussion with a pilot and recruiting director

Holy shit.
This was posted on Twitter yesterday BEFORE the crash.
California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order:
"It does nothing"
"It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach"
Will not comply.
Governor Pritzker- Illinois - has signed an order prohibiting all J6 rioters from state employment.

Really enjoyed my conversation with @vox.com about the growth of women’s sport, but also the historic lack on investment that has caused a lag in revenue.
A Vox reader asked: Why do people pay more to watch men’s sports than women’s sports?

This is a slap in the face to American women.
Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

Costco shareholders just sent a clear message: DEI is here to stay.
Attempts to roll back progress were crushed—because diversity isn’t a ‘risk,’ it’s a strength. 🔥
