It's amazing how everything in the 1950s was crisp and clear and sharp, and it all turned to mud in the 60s & 70s. Photography had a dark age, and it was during my youth.

There are incredible parallels between the failure modes of smart home technology and modern web site architecture:
When the power goes out 🤝 When JavaScript fails

The company went out of business and now this {smart device 🤝 JavaScript framework} isn’t receiving updates and poses a security risk

When Apple markets "repairability" or "longevity" or "privacy", it's always a cover story; a post-hoc rationalisation, not a first-principles look at what it would mean to put those values front-and-center.

You don't have to be a class reductionist to think that money interests are a powerful explanatory force.

Every form of bigotry essentially boils down to "I am superior to you because you are not the same as me," and "DEI hire" as a pejorative 100% covers all of those bases in a handy, catch-all, sanitized way you can freely say on TV.

It strikes me that every offensive and bigoted name one could possibly call another human has been laundered and normalized into the single catch-all term "DEI hire."
So if you hear somebody use the term "DEI hire" as a pejorative, I think it's appropriate to treat them as though they've just said the most unbelievably offensive string of words imaginable.
Because really, they have.
