Explains why we haven’t had good movies in the last ten years.

[Katie Miller @KatieMiller]

A decade ago, Hollywood decided it would no longer honor films based purely on merit but also on the diversity of the cast and production team. In 2020, they formally tied Best Picture to diversity.

The Academy expanded its membership by roughly 40% in a decade through an explicit push to diversify its ranks.

The Oscars will proudly tell you that last year’s invitees were:
>41% women
>45% people of color
>55% from overseas

For 88 years, the Academy selected members and honored achievement based on merit. For the last 10 years, invitees went from 112 per year to over 900 to meet diversity targets.

This devalues and dishonors great American films and creates perverse incentives that lead studios to inflate diversity numbers in hopes of recognition by their woke peers.

Meritocracy must be restored to film.

Teaching my daughter about payroll withholding

She did chores all week so I owe her $10

I hand her $7

> this isn't $10

"right, I withheld the rest"

> what does that mean

"I kept $3 of your money"

> but it's my money

"It was your money"

> what are you even doing with it?

"Funding household infrastructure"

> what

"The roof over your head. The hallway you walk through to get to the bathroom. The door locks that keep strangers out"

> you're charging me for the hallway

"I'm charging you for access to the hallway. The hallway itself was a capital expenditure"

> you're my dad. you're supposed to---

"I'm also your government"

> what if I don't want to pay for the hallway

"Then I can't guarantee the hallway"

> it's a hallway. It's already there

"For now"

She asks what else the $3 covers

"Meals, dispute resolution, nightlight maintenance"

> dispute resolution?

"When your brother takes your toys and I make him give them back. That's taxpayer funded"

> that's just parenting

"That's the Department of Justice"

> what about meals. You already feed me

"That's a social program. Not everyone qualifies"

> I'm your daughter

"Which is why you're currently enrolled"

She wants to see where the money goes

I tell her that would require a FOIA request

> what's that

"A form asking me to show you what I do with your money. Processing time is 6 to 8 weeks"

> 6 weeks to see where my $3 went?

"Could be longer. We're understaffed"

> there's two of you

She asks how she gets any of it back

"It's already spent"

> you spent my money already?

"We had a budget shortfall"

> you just took it 20 seconds ago

"And the deficit existed 30 seconds ago. The timing worked out"

> so I'm not getting it back

"I didn't say that. You might qualify for a refund"

> of my own money

"Correct. You just have to fill out a form telling me how much you made"

> you know how much I made. You paid me

"Right but I need you to tell me how much I paid you"

> so you already know the answer

"The point is compliance"

She asks what happens if she gets the number wrong

"Penalty"

> from the money I don't have because you already spent it?

"We could set up a payment plan"

> I'm 8

"Monthly installments. Very manageable"

> you're going to penalize me for getting wrong a number you already know and then make me pay you back with money you took from me

"Now you're getting it"

> I want to talk to mom

"Mom's not a qualified representative. She can't help you here"

She stormed off to her room saying how this is extortion

Slammed the door

That's my little citizen

I've never been more proud

To any future historians reading this, this era will make a lot more sense if you remember that every name is the opposite of what it really is. The antifascists are fascists, the antiracists are racists, the fact-checkers are propagandists, etc. Hopefully this has been fixed by your time.

In the span of just one generation Democrats went from having pride in America at basically the same level as Republicans to now only 1/3 of Democrats feel that way.

Republican numbers have held.

What’s going on here?

@HawleyMO can we have Congress look into the predatory actions Meta is taking on their advertising targeting which eliminates control advertisers have to control who, what, and where ads are being displayed.

This is all under the guise of “automation” under the name Advantage+.

I’ve watched the government “shut down” many times over the years. Honestly? I’ve never really noticed it in day-to-day life. If it can go dark for weeks or months without most Americans even feeling it… what does that say about the actual value being added by 500+ people we employ to “run” it? Maybe the real question isn’t who voted for the shutdown—it’s whether we’re getting a return on investment at all.

@tombogert STL CITY 2 is better than the MLS squad.
