"On Sunday evening, #Oprah2020 began trending on social media after Oprah Winfrey delivered a rousing speech against misogyny and racism at the Golden Globe Awards."

has anyone seen the speech?

As CNBC’s Christina Wilkie, in a rare dissent on Twitter, put it: “I love to watch Oprah saying inspirational things on television. But also I love to watch people who have political experience being elected to national office.”

off to the gulag methinks

"The survey finds a higher share of blacks in STEM jobs report experiencing any of eight types of racial/ethnic discrimination (62%) than do others in STEM positions (44% of Asians, 42% of Hispanics and just 13% of whites in STEM jobs say this). They also tend to do so more than blacks in non-STEM jobs (50%), with many saying they have been treated as if they were not competent because of their race or ethnicity. Blacks in STEM jobs are particularly likely to say there is too little attention to racial and ethnic diversity where they work (57%)."

HOW RACIAL DISCRIMINATION PLAYS OUT IN ONLINE DATING

EXCUSE ME

dating preferences are bigoted, don't ya know

I may just be some country-borne naive person who likes cream in his coffee and pussy on his dick, but isn't picking a dating partner _100% discrimination_?

oh right, I remember now

it's that freak on youtube, he said that if you don't date trans people, you're transphobic or whatever

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTc_8Ms-UmE

I don't know what it is, but yeah, I can imagine you're not desirable

put a bag over your head and try again, snowflake

I didn't choose my wife because of the colour of her skin

I fell in Love with her for the content of her heart.

That freak (Riley) was specifically addressing women that don't want to have sex with trans lesbians.

He's a trans lesbian.

So he's basically saying, "if you refuse sex with me, you're a transphobe."

IF I refuse sex with you?

"Open Banking forces lenders to offer a digital "fire hose" of data that any third party can use to get standardised access - provided the startup is registered with the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the customer agrees to share their data."

on the face of it this sounds like it has been designed by someone completely incompetent, where the setting is "share all data or nothing" per bank user

however that's not the case

https://www.openbanking.org.uk/personal-customers/

"Is Open Banking safe?

We have all been taught to never share our account details. That’s still good advice in many ways, but the difference with Open Banking is that we are creating software and security systems that let you share access securely."

"It’s been just over seven years since Darryle’s death, and his case remains open. “I’m going to keep on fighting until somebody is brought to justice,” says his mother Rose. “You don’t go out and take somebody’s life for a pair of glasses.” But when it comes to these particular glasses in Detroit, Darryle’s story is no outlier. According to the Detroit Police Department, between 2012 and 2016, Cartier glasses figured in nine homicides, 17 non-fatal shootings, and 2,158 robberies."

so his mom is wrong, you _do_ go out and take someones life for pairs of glasses

we must lobby the city council, we must BAN these glasses from our streets

only then will we be safe

When we arrive, the man selling pills is sitting on his front stoop wearing Cartier Giverny wire frames. He describes them as “more professional” than the White Buffs that The General has on. After all, he is currently working his 9-5.

“They will look at [White Buffs] and think: dope dealer or rapper,” the man explains. “I learned young. I walked [into court] before with White Buffs. Went back to jail. And the bailiff told me it was because I looked like a drug dealer. Because you walk into court and you say you don’t have a job, but you’ve got on $2,500 glasses.”

This kind of makes the round on my feed:

“As a result of the Weinstein affair, there has been a legitimate realization of the sexual violence women experience, particularly in the workplace, where some men abuse their power. It was necessary. But now this liberation of speech has been turned on its head.”
[...]
"One of the arguments the writers make is that instead of empowering women, the #MeToo and #BalanceTonPorc movements instead serve the interests of “the enemies of sexual freedom, of religious extremists, of the worst reactionaries,” and of those who believe that women are “‘separate’ beings, children with the appearance of adults, demanding to be protected.” They write that “a woman can, in the same day, lead a professional team and enjoy being the sexual object of a man, without being a ‘promiscuous woman,’ nor a vile accomplice of patriarchy.”"

"Ali, of Chapeltown, Leeds, pleaded guilty to racially aggravated threatening behaviour, arson, assault and criminal damage.

The court heard Ali had been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic.

He was made the subject of an indefinite hospital order under the Mental Health Act, combined with a 19-month prison sentence."

"Officials said the probes were an extension of raids carried out under the Obama administration in 2013 against several 7-Eleven franchise owners who later pleaded guilty to operating an immigrant-exploitation scheme from their convenience stores."

“It is convenient to blame Pakistan for cross-border terrorism, where the US has not lifted a finger to help fence-up the border,” Dastgir said.

that's the pakistan-afghanistan border, which apparently the US has some sort of duty to fence

of course, when the US revokes $33 billion in aid - which amounts to ~10% of pakistans annual GDP - you can't blame them for going a bit crazy

that's a bit misleading of me to say

$33 billion over 15 years, I think it was trump said

"Not all opinions are equal, but some people seem to wish they were. Former Google engineer James Damore, who you may remember as the author of an eye-poppingly sexist company-wide memo about why men are naturally better at computers than women, is now suing the company for discrimination against conservatives. The memo claimed that it was wrong for Google, a company with 80% of its technical roles held by men, to be pursuing diversity."

I can't even

"He is not alone. Donald Trump received his strongest support at the polls among Americans who believed that men, Christians and, in particular, white people, were being unfairly discriminated against."

"Conservatism is a behaviour, a set of opinions, not a fixed identity.", yes, you're not very familiar with californian labor laws are you

There's a massive smearing campaign against Damore, yet again.

Media is going crazy with the lies.

it doesn't really surprise me as much as entertain me :P

also, does this sentence mean they're coming sort of full circle back to agreeing that the quran has doctrines that are incompatible with a western way of life?

Laurie Penny was an established cunt already

"Not all opinions are equal, ..."

oh god there's even worse ones of her

Alt-Right darling James Damore

"We cannot threaten or pronounce our way to victory. Instead we have to go out into the country and answer the crucial question for many who voted to Brexit out of legitimate anger and despair: If not leave, what? What can we do to give people security, esteem and optimism so that they can view a European Britain – with all the opportunity that brings – with confidence and enthusiasm?"

yes, like they didn't do last time - did you see the example of poor rhetoric I linked from lindybeige some time ago?

https://youtu.be/_z3pe_OSZrQ?t=26m10s

the poster is red. That's scary

if you watch another minute there's another perfect example of poor political rhetoric

hehehe

wtf even twitter employees don't know the milo vs leslie specifics

they don't need to know

they don't folllow Milo

but with this Lawsuit and athe Damore Google one they might be able to do some damage

fingers crossed

Milo is doing his 1 hour-a-day show... and is going to charge for it.

I agree they don't need to know, but then they shouldn't regurgitate lies like "he called her a monkey"

if you don't know, then don't claim to know and fabricate lies

Milo might just settle out of court

get $10M off Twatter and buy another tour bus
