Maybe if we start calling our body parts gun-sounding names like “revulva” or “shooterus” the GOP will stop trying to regulate them.

McDonald’s Didn’t Roll Back Their DEI Efforts—They Evolved Them Something seems a bit ‘filet-o-fishy’ about the one-sided press coverage regarding McDonald’s DEI “rollback”. To me, their commitment to inclusion is proof of success.

Doug Melville wrote for Forbes in Jan:
