2+ yrs ago I co-authored a letter warning not offering Algebra I in public middle schools was anti-equity, as the wealthy could go private.

Yesterday I discovered a great example: the main CA Math Framework author put her kids in a private school teaching Algebra I in 8th grade.

The right wing: “why do you always make everything about race? Who says what you experienced is due to racism? Maybe they were just having a bad day.”

Also the right wing: “Race also had to be a factor [in not firing Harvard President Claudine Gay], which was important in her getting the job in the first place.”

Asserted not one, but two, baseless statements as fact in a single sentence. Totally shameless.

We are a reasonable country, but our patience has now run out.

Our Parliament is sovereign, and it should be able to make decisions that cannot be undone in our courts.

That’s what this emergency legislation delivers.

I’ve often described being a founder feeling like you’re in a forest on your hands and knees, dirt on your face, grasping for user insights and product market fit.

Investor in one of the worst companies, Palantir, tweeted that the problem with Black ppl is they have too many kids who’re not interested in education & “doing homework”

He just said out loud what all of them making $$ funding racist tech bros to create racist tech quietly say.

Elon Musk, a White man who grew up in apartheid South Africa, sends an email telling people who've consistently been called the N-word, in a company that doesn't promote Black people, to "have a thick skin."

When will these tech bros be held accountable?

New: Google's quantum computing team in collaboration with physicists say they have demonstrated a genuine time crystal for the first time. I've been chasing this story for months now; the paper finally dropped yesterday evening. Read all about it: https://t.co/isIk1FBGPO

Apple routinely displays so much overt discrimination with impunity. It seems to me they’ve completely escaped the spotlight. I myself have many stories to tell from my time there. No surprise given it’s founder’s well known toxicity cloaked as “pushing people” for “innovation.”
