“VISUAL DIVERSITY:” David Lat on the Harvard Affirmative Action Case. “So in the end, what Harvard and UNC are arguing is that visual diversity is a compelling state interest. Having classrooms and admissions brochures that look like Benetton ads can justify resorting to racial classifications that we have justifiably banned in pretty much every other area of American life. The idea would be laughable if it weren’t so wrong.”

NO. IT WON’T VOTE BY MAIL MEANS THE DEMS NEVER LOSE ELECTIONS AGAIN:  West Coast Will Indicate Size Of The Red Wave.

In person. On paper. Purple fingers. That’s the beginning of regaining our trust. The beginning.

 

MORE PREPAREDNESS:  Preparedness On The Fly II: Complete Nutrition I.

EVERYONE IS MUCH KINDER THAN I AM. I THINK IT NEEDS HAIR SHIRTS AND SELF-FLAGELLATION. THEN I’LL CONSIDER FORGIVING:  We Need Pandemic Accountability, Not “Pandemic Amnesty”.

Maybe.

As with the stolen election, if we don’t make them feel the pain, they’ll just do it again.

AND IF YOU THINK I’M BEING UNNECESSARILY SALTY, YOU NEED A REMINDER:  Do Not Forget. Do Not Forgive. [It’s a video. It’s Razor Fist. There is swearing. But you probably need to watch it anyway.]

Forgiving narcissists who are going to do it again first chance they get is for fools.

LOL, JEN RUBIN: “I guess Rubin loves the ‘European rulebook’ and the idea that the Democratic Party will act aggressively to push back free speech. That’s rather awful.”

Jen Rubin is rather awful, and so is the neo-Fascist Democratic Party that she supports as a fake “conservative.” She could be a minor character in a Kurt Schlichter novel.

THE PROCESS IS THE PUNISHMENT:  LawDog Legal Defense.

The other side has the deep pockets, the celebrities, the international organizations. We have us. It’s all we have. It has to be enough.

 

IT’S A START: Elon Musk plans to cut 3,700 jobs, half of Twitter.

Elon Musk plans to cut about 3,700 jobs at Twitter Inc or half of the company’s workforce in a bid to cut costs, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Twitter’s new owner will inform the staff affected on Friday, according to the report.

Bloomberg also reported that Musk intends to reverse the social media company’s existing work from anywhere policy and will require employees to work from office though some exceptions could be made.

Musk, in a tweet, had denied a New York Times report that said he was planning to lay off Twitter employees before Nov. 1 to avoid stock grants due on the day.

Speaking of the New York Times, last year, the paper reportedly employed 5,000 people. Why does Twitter need 2,400 more employees than one of the world’s biggest newspapers?

OPEN THREAD: Now blast off. I said, blast off.
