The fundamental problem with making "DEI" your bogeyman:

Everyone likes Diversity (we're all different, and that makes life fun).
Everyone likes Equity (it's another word for fairness).
Everyone likes Inclusion (no one wants to be left out).

Really, what were they thinking?

Angry Trump Kills “Woke” Program—and Accidentally Screws MAGA Voters

I downloaded a scientific paper of great interest to me. It is of typical length, about 15 pages in the PDF. I opened it in Acrobat, and got this message highlighted at the top of the page next to an AI sparkle icon: "This appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary." I cannot put into words how much this enrages me. First, this is not a long document. Have you met documents? Second, and more important, telling someone to not read a thing they want to read??! Fuck you, Adobe.
