In his deposition, DOGE employee Justin Fox said he used AI to tag DEI grants to cancel — without ever instructing the AI on what DEI is. Among the grants terminated was a $350k grant to replace an aging HVAC system at the High Point Museum in North Carolina. The AI flagged it because the grant stated, ‘Improving HVAC systems enhances preservation conditions for collections, aligning with the goal of providing greater access to diverse audiences.’

So all the millions who've sat reading 'Dear Zoo' and 'The Gruffalo' with their pre-readers don't realise that their pre-schoolers should really be waiting till they're taught how to read before they 'appreciate' the books. Lols.

Dreaming Whilst Black is a documentary.

The Mullahs Are Gone from Our Grief in Iran! Yes clerics lost control of Islamic mourning! These days, across Iran, the cities and streets are overflowing with dance, music, and men and women dancing side by side. What you are witnessing is not a nationwide celebration. It is a new form of mourning. After the massacre of 40,000 people, Iranians have chosen to transform grief into defiance. They have turned mourning into a powerful protest against every imposed element of Islamic and Sharia law that has suffocated society for 47 years. For nearly five decades, we were told that mourning must look a certain way: a cleric leading the ceremony, reciting from the Quran, orchestrating grief, while people beat their chests in ritual sorrow. We were told that sorrow belonged to the mullahs. But today, the people have reclaimed it. Today cleric are disappeared from public funeral ceremonies. The message is very clear, revolutionary and symbolic: You killed our beloved ones, you don’t get to lead the funeral. This is happening in my wounded country Iran, where the regime tells us showing a woman’s hair is forbidden. Dancing is forbidden. Listening to this music is forbidden. Men and women standing together, moving together, is forbidden. This is a renaissance. A profound transformation. Revolution against Islamic regime. For the first time in our modern history, in every corner of Iran, every single day, we are witnessing a society redefining what grief, resistance, and freedom look like. #IranMassacre
