“Lingering shots on bodies, low-angle cameras that capture revealing views, and excessive slow-motion replays that serve no technical or storytelling purpose are among the issues observed in the media coverage of women’s athletics competitions today.”
Fuck these people and their never ending censorious aspirations.
Dexerto@Dexerto
New broadcasting guidelines for women's athletics have been released to crack down on camera angles and slow-motion replays that ‘sexualize’ athletes The guidelines highlight shots broadcasters are urged to avoid

@lenofi You misspelled “smart kids”. I would hazard a guess that there were sizable numbers of richer kids who didn’t score as well on the aptitude test.
I might add: IQ causes SES, not vice versa (with the usual caveats about pro athletes, movie stars, and politicians).
English
the elite NYC high schools discourse is ridiculous because rich kids DID get into the ones that were supposedly aptitude-based BECAUSE they had advantages from early childhood. there is no such thing as an objective entrance exam that adequately accounts for race or socioecon!

The Indian Company known as "IBM" employs ~135,000 people in India and ~43,000 in the US.

BREAKING: IBM stock, $IBM, collapses nearly -20% after posting weaker than expected earnings due to “weakness in the software and infrastructure business.” The stock just erased -$55 billion in market cap.

That might be because every billionaire knows that in between his checkbook and that hungry mouth in Sudan, are 23 NGOs and 43 layers of administration to ensure that every torrent of aid becomes a trickle of food.
You want the harsh truth? Every liberal call to arms, from homelessness to daycare, from hunger to climate change, is just a veiled grift of taxpayer funds to progressive pockets.
English
You don't find it weird that not a single billionaire wants to end world poverty? Doesn't it strike you as bizarre that no one with that kind of wealth wants to be the hero who actually solves the world's biggest
problems when they literally could? lsn't that
suspicious?

@NotCubby @nycexpatmom Even siblings -- same race, same parents, same income have different abilities and talents.

This parent leader should know better about how funding works in NYC schools but perpetuates the myth that Specialized High Schools get more funding per student, they do not.
Stuyvesant gets 30-50% less than other high schools in NYC. Even with a funding formula weight factored into certain types of high schools including CTE programs (career technical education), audition schools like LaGuardia Performing Arts and the Specialized High Schools, the total funding per student at SHS are still below those of most high schools in NYC.
Critics of SHS want to attribute the student achievements to “hoarding” resources, that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

@tracewoodgrains That seems like a lot of words to say “truth is an absolute defense”.

What people need to understand is how things have drastically changed in the corporate media.
“Credibility” is no longer a concern to outlets like the NYT. The NYT can only remain in business if it keeps its subscriber base happy, and its subscriber base is the far left.
The NYT long ago lost Normal People. And knows we aren’t coming back.
If the NYT told the full truth about Platner, the subscribers would revolt. That’s the only damage that can be done to the NYT today, and that’s the only thing the NYT fears.
WaPo is a leftist shit stain, but the few times it tried to act like a newspaper, like not endorsing Kamala in ‘24, the leftist subscribers brutalized it. That’s why WaPo is losing $100M per year.
The NYT sees that, had the goods on Platner, but knew there was only devastating financial downside in reporting the truth. So it performed a catch and kill.
CNN, NYT, NPR, etc. With advertising gone and cable carriage fees evaporating, and decades of corruption chasing away everyone but the far left, the far left is all they got before the bottom falls out (see: WaPo) so they are whoring themselves to keep the only consumers between them and bankruptcy happy.
AG@AGHamilton29
There is just no way the NYT can escape a permanent hit to their credibility without a full investigation into how they managed to blow this story and throw the women involved under the bus. They had a story that should have ended a political campaign and instead spun in into a partisan defense for the candidate that put targets on the backs of the victims. And for what? The truth came out just a month later. They didn’t save Platner.

@scttfrnks @CHSommers All of these plagiarism stories are starting to sound alike.
English
Universities and foundations are so very enamored with this scholar archetype that they repeatedly embarrass themselves and damage their reputations over promoting it. And the people whose opinions matter don’t seem to mind, so it continues.
I wouldn’t mind either but for the fact that this realm of scholarship is the animating force behind the very worst elements of our current political/cultural landscape.

In 2019, the Mellon Foundation gave Tufts $1.5 million to hire faculty in “Race, Colonialism, and Diaspora.” Their first hire: acclaimed author Kerri Greenidge. Last week, NYT reported Greenidge lost her tenured position, apparently over plagiarism and blatant fabrications.

@HomerPavlos There are now only 2 kinds of movies in Hollywood:
1) Award-winning
2) watchable.
Choose wisely.

Lupita has probably around 10 minutes of screen time playing both Helen and Clytemnestra. She is neither particularly beautiful nor a particularly strong actress. Her role is entirely provocative, designed purely to fulfill Hollywood’s diversity quotas.

@bri_guy_ny @CelestinAustin What inequities are you concerned about that aren’t experienced by the Asian students?
English
@CelestinAustin This x1000000000. They just want to paper over the inequities.
English
This discourse again? Fine, I'll bite.
The SHSAT isn't where the inequities originate, it's where they materialize. Removing it won't rectify the systemic inequities that plague our public education. They'll just find new ways to materialize. Hell, they already do

1 in 5 NYC public school students are Black, but at Stuy - our most prestigious high school - 3 of ~800 incoming Freshmen are Black. We urgently need state legislation to modify the admissions process. A single test should never be only factor deciding who gets in & who doesn’t.
English
She presents the false dichotomy of “lower standards” or “allocate even more resources” because that keeps the grift going. The possibility that not all students are equally capable, knowledgeable, or motivated is eliminated a priori, as is the possibility that the test may be accurately assessing future success.
English
@teachbk Are you saying lower standards to let blacks in? How many decently smart kids did democrats sacrifice in the alter of affirmative action. Take kids that could go to Lehigh and NYU but sent them to Harvard and Yale and get run over because they couldn’t keep up.
English
@teachbk @calicodusty Privilege is the dark matter of cultural Marxism that enables every equation to result in “oppression”.
English
The reasons to assert “privilege” are three-fold:
- to guilt taxpayers into anteing up even more money
- to pretend that ability is not the dominant variable
- to blame output disparities on environment instead of on input variations, because then we just need to give more resources to administrators, unions, and NGOs to fix the environment.
English
@LeeKuanYimby Yes. Next question.
[the unquestionable premise, essential to the grift, is the blank slatism that believes that all students are equally capable, experienced, and motivated, and that therefore, any differences in results must be systemic and therefore billable.]
English
Is this asking for more explicitly race based admissions? Genuinely just asking here.

@DrGaybeMiller I think the new euphemism is “person of unhoused”, though that might have been superseded by “person experiencing unhousedness”.
English
There was a starving unhoused person outside my campus today.
I would have stopped to help. But I was running late to a panel discussion on structural inequality.
But I did whisper “I see you.”
Sometimes you have to prioritise long-term change over short-term solutions.

@WallStreetMav The problem is that for the WNBA, it is “Mebounds” all the way down. That is to say, it is stat padding failures as successes.
English
The problem is the WNBA doesn’t sell because of basketball accomplishment. There are barely any women talented enough to draw revenue for good ball.
Sophie Cunningham sells because she’s seen as attractive and fun, something else most women in the WNBA are not.
Kiara@KiaraSimonee
Not a single basketball accomplishment. I thought DEI was frowned upon.
