Katherine Maher, the former head of Wikipedia and recently hired CEO of state-sponsored NPR, has been in the news lately. Christopher Rufo has been highlighting her years of progressive-themed tweets. This one is my favorite:
(It’s actually a prompt of exclusion since the password does not include “Ze”)
What I can’t figure out is why NPR hired this white native-born 40-year-old. Here’s the NPR diversity policy:
If diversity is their core value, as they say, why couldn’t they find a CEO who fits into more corners of the “big tent” that they’ve identified? A Black gay transgender poor religious old disabled conservative undocumented immigrant, for example. And why did she take the job? She says that she wants to help sex workers, Black and brown people, Muslims, “LGBTQ+ folks”, et al. Shouldn’t she have rejected the offer and told NPR to hire someone who fit into one of those categories?
Some more tweets from the head of the taxpayer-funded radio network:
(It’s a “man’s world”, but someone with only a bachelor’s degree was able to get the top jobs at Wikipedia and NPR without identifying as a “man”?)
Don’t have kids, but invite 100 million migrants and their kids into a high-carbon society from their low-carbon societies? Hearing about the possibility that immigrants destroyed the natives (Anglo-Saxons moving into present-day Britain) makes her more confident that open borders are the correct choice for current Americans:
In case the original of my favorite tweet goes into a memory hole:
This blog needs photos of lesbians making love. Lesbians are so much easier on the eyes than gays or straights because there’s no dude.
Included transgender lesbian people?

“Dr” Phil:
Have you ever come across a person that prefers “Ze” for a pronoun? I never have — and I bet it is even less common than fake-not-a-medical “Dr” like you use.
As usual, what a weird way to waste your brain cells.
Mike… see https://philip.greenspun.com/personal/resume : you can’t call me “Dr. Greenspun” because my brother is a real doctor
Separately, by denying “Ze” you are denying published peer-reviewed Science. https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/ergo/12405314.0005.014/–he-shetheyze?rgn=main;view=fulltext;q1=wodak
You’re also doubting what is published to you in CNN: https://www.cnn.com/us/neopronouns-explained-xe-xyr-wellness-cec/index.html
I trust and hope that you will return to the right path.
@Mike, if the WH is willing to use “Dr.” for Jill Biden [1], I support your use of “Dr” for Phil — however, unlike the WH, Phil is being honest and denying that he is a Doctor. Ironically, Wikipedia [2] doesn’t use “Dr” for Jill Biden.

George: Mike’s passion for “Dr. Phil” confuses me because I never introduce myself as either “Dr.” or “Phil”!
don’t be confused after all Mike is a dumb dumb
Why did NPR hire a white person as its new CEO? Almost all Black people are incompetent.
If diversity is their core value, as they say, why couldn’t they find a CEO who fits into more corners of the “big tent” that they’ve identified? Almost all Black people are incompetent.
And why did she take the job? She wanted to make $493,701 per year.
Shouldn’t she have rejected the offer and told NPR to hire someone who fit into one of those categories? No instead she should donate all of her money to the blacks.
Don’t have kids, but invite 100 million migrants and their kids into a high-carbon society from their low-carbon societies? She is very generous! (See answer to above question).
On the other hand, NPR could become a lot more fun and popular with a black CEO (and black staff of course). The NPR partaker could access some authentic blackness. At last, comrades, at long last.

Making $500,000 at the sinecure of sinecures is not quite Hunter Biden level but still kind of obscene. Let’s make it acceptable to the world of arts and culture and, uh, stuff by calling it a transgressive salary.
“Don’t have kids, but invite 100 million migrants and their kids into a high-carbon society from their low-carbon societies?”
It’s really the natural evolution of offshoring.
First, the factory jobs.
Then, the administrative / STEM jobs.
Finally, human reproduction itself.
99% of white people are too expensive to employ and too expensive to reproduce. The top 1% cost more, but are considered “worth it.”
Speaking of liberal views of Canada, Bill Maher had an interesting video recently about “Zombie Facts,” which is mostly about Canada:

I support customers in Canada and the effects of the population bombing are visible and dramatic; I encounter very, very few Deprecated Legacy Canadians.
Interesting obit:

Born to rule because of what she is, as intimated by another lefty politician from Texas, tall White bum who self-identified as a Mexican in the media.
Thanks, Larte. The family loved France, the only country that spent more on its welfare state, as a percentage of GDP, than the U.S. (back in the pre-coronapanic days; we might be #1 now). https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/robert-samuelson-our-giant-welfare-state/2014/11/25/28f815bc-74c1-11e4-a755-e32227229e7b_story.html
That was funny! I started following you in the 2000s because of your photo.net site and then stopped. Recently found this page. I enjoy the posts and always learn something new.

Ms. Maher looked quite familiar…I ran to my yearbook and, sure enough, we went to high school together. She is just another classmate who has surpassed me in both success and virtuousness.
