Another shooting in Murica

Except that it reverts your feed from your carefully curated 'following' to their 'for you' hate chamber, pretty much on a daily basis

Not any more. It used to. I haven't noticed that happening in the last year. And in any case I would just immediately switch to "for you".

I find Twitter a fantastic resource, all my favourite things in one place, constantly giving me the latest news/articles/interest.

Musk's finger is still on the scale.

The term DEI also randomly takes my brain to this glory

I've never heard of E&D, but my company has been talking about DE&I for years.
I work in London, owned by a group in Manchester, ultimately owned by a US company.
But I don't think that makes me "an imported culture warrior"?!
Sometimes you sound like a real berk.

In terms of your "unfair advantages" there are definitely times when """minorities""" are slightly favoured for positions, to help balance things out e.g. if everyone in a company is white/male/over 50/etc then they would benefit from some different voices from the 'other' side. To assist the company's growth via hearing a different perspective.

Earlier today I read that Spurs had a new CCO and automatically assumed it would be a man, until I scrolled down and saw a woman's name. That is prejudice right there, I'm not ashamed to admit. It is good that our C-suite will not be entirely white/male/over 50/etc.

Good post. (imo apart from the name calling aimed at GB).

Agreed that there are such "unfair" advantages for "minorities" in some cases. Here in Norway that sometimes swings the other way too, men being encouraged to apply for jobs in female dominated fields in job postings. I think those things are good. Some diversity is a good thing in most workplaces at least. Many more unfair disadvantages for minorities still.

Those "prejudices" exist in all of us I think. Good that you're not ashamed. I have them to for sure. But also good to notice imo. For some reason that kind of thing too is controversial.
