People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

If you feel left out of DEI, maybe involve yourself. Check in with the team or person running it at your workplace, see how you can get involved, what you can learn and what you can share. Call yourself and others in to the conversation.

Good DEI/EDI benefits all of society, including cis, het, white men. It looks at all areas of inequality and does the work to bring everyone on the journey to create a more inclusive workplace, community or society.

You can give different groups some advancement if data shows you have underrepresentation. But this would only be allowing qualified candidates to skip shortlisting and go straight to interview - they still have to have the best interview.

Can Diversity, Equity and Inclusion professionals collectively call out any bullshit about "DEI hires". It's about creating a level playing field and ensuring hiring is fair for everyone. Hiring a person on a characteristic is illegal in the UK.

And dictator in chief wants us all to believe he's not an extremist. It's all feeling very 1984.
