Wow, Elon Musk really hates the Oscars-Business Insider
"Winning an Oscar now just means you won the woke contest," Musk wrote on X on Sunday, as this year's award ceremony began.

I can probably count on my hand the number of good movies made after 1989. Oscars’ Best Picture nominations needed to meet DEI standards this year-Washington Examiner
In order to qualify for the nomination, each film must meet a requirement of a diversity ratio among its hires in at least four categories: onscreen, offscreen, training programs, and marketing. For example, the film Oppenheimer, with its primarily white cast still qualified by meeting the standard in the other categories.
Corporations Are Losing The ESG Battle, Forcing Them To Hide Advocacy-ZeroHedge
At the center of the controversy is that so many corporate shares are owned by a relatively small number of financial firms.
According to a 2019 study in the Harvard Business Review, institutional investors—asset managers, insurance companies, banks, and state pension funds—owned 80 percent of the shares in the S&P 500 index of the United States’ largest companies.
“One of either BlackRock, Vanguard, or State Street is the largest shareholder in 88 percent of S&P 500 companies [and] they are the three largest owners of most DOW 30 companies,” the report states.
On the one hand I guess I’m happy they may finally start enforcing the law, but on the other hand this shows the massive failure of progressive policy. Armed Troops on the Subways-WSJ
This is progress after the denial that has prevailed for years among the city’s ruling Democrats. Former Mayor Bill de Blasio and progressives started the downhill slide when they waged political war on cops, on stop and frisk policing, and on the enforcement of offenses against civilized norms.
Yet sending in the military to protect mass transit is also in some sense a sign of societal and political surrender. It means that New York has concluded that it can’t protect its citizens with a normal police presence, or with the laws against vagrancy that once prevailed, or with prosecutors who used to put people in jail for crimes against public order. So send in the guys with assault rifles.
Biden’s DEI mandates cut technology off at the knees-Washington Examiner
These requirements that tech companies and others adhere to the racist principles of DEI make products less likely to be made and, when they are made, more likely to be awful. When it comes to both microchips and Google’s AI tool, we are seeing it play out in real time, and yet Biden and his Democratic colleagues will continue to stifle technology with those same DEI requirements that are already making things worse.
