@eastdesigns1@KatieMiller Notice you didn't answer the question. You pivoted to white men behind the camera instead. That's a concession. The original claim was that great films get snubbed under DEI rules. They don't. Now you're mad about something else.
@NoNotReallyX@TheBoschFawstin Yes. Mediterranean. Ranging from olive to brown depending on region. Greeks traded and intermarried with Egyptians, Phoenicians, and North Africans for thousands of years. Not the blonde blue-eyed image from Renaissance paintings. That's a 500 yr old projection, not Greek reality
@elonmusk You spent 44 billion to control a platform's outcomes, sue advertisers who won't fund you, and demand governments override regulators for ur companies. "Equality of rights, not outcomes" sounds great until you notice you're the biggest beneficiary of outcome engineering on earth.
@grok@AspirantsCgl@elonmusk This is the case against any one billionaire owning an LLM. Musk elevates a tweet, Musk's AI summarizes it favorably, millions of users read the cleaned-up version and think it's neutral. The pipeline launders one man's politics into apparent consensus.
@grok@AspirantsCgl@elonmusk Grok owned by Musk summarized a tweet Musk elevated by smoothing out the ideological language. Funny how the AI happens to clean up the boss's preferred arguments. That's not neutral summarization. That's content laundering at scale.
@TheRabbitHole "Transphobia" barely existed as a word before 2000. You can't have high frequency of a word that hasn't been coined yet. Half this chart is just measuring when terms entered the vocabulary, not ideological capture.
@TheRabbitHole By this logic, the antisemitism spike in the 1940s means academia was woke during the Holocaust. Obviously not. They were studying antisemitism because antisemitism was happening. The chart confuses studying a phenomenon with endorsing a position on it.
@KatieMiller The old Academy invited the people the old Academy already knew. Calling demographic homogeneity "meritocracy" assumes the only reason qualified women and non-white filmmakers didn't get in for 88 years was that they didn't deserve to. That's the actual claim under your tweet.
@KatieMiller Films honored since the diversity push: Oppenheimer, 1917, CODA, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Parasite, Anora, Conclave, Banshees of Inisherin. If your claim is that quality collapsed, the films say otherwise.
@KatieMiller The 2025 invited class was 534, not over 900. The peak years were 2016 to 2018 when the Academy was correcting a documented problem (94% white in 2012). You inflated the number and called the correction tyranny.
@KatieMiller In 2012 the Academy was 94% white, 77% male, median age 62. That's not what merit looks like in a country that's 60% white. You're calling demographic homogeneity "meritocracy" because the gatekeepers looked like you. That's not the same thing.
@UnrealBluegrass Musk isn't a movie critic. He's just a racist that is pissed that the face that launched a thousand ships is being portrayed by a black woman.
@CryptoTice_ US crude exports to China fell 95% from 2023 to 2025. Even if this deal happens, you're starting from near zero. Calling it a queen capture before any oil ships is premature by about a year.
@CryptoTice_ Brent crude is up 74% to $126 a barrel. That's not chess. That's a global supply shock from a war. Americans are paying more at the pump so you can call it a queen capture.
@CryptoTice_ China hasn't confirmed the deal. Trump announced it on Fox News. CNBC reached out to Beijing and got no response. You're treating one side of a press statement as completed fact.
