@RyanAFournier Very disappointed that you haven’t found a way to blame this on DEI.

ABSOLUTE HEROES. Pilot Antoine Forest and First Officer Mackenzie Gunther tragically lost their lives in Sunday’s horrific LaGuardia crash, but they made the ultimate sacrifice and saved EVERY SINGLE passenger on board. Their Air Canada flight collided with a firetruck, but because of their incredible bravery, everyone else walked away. Survivor Rebecca Liquori said it best: she is “forever indebted” to them. God bless these two heroes and their families. This is what true bravery looks like! 🙏

@CBSNews This is what happens when you hire white males instead of DEI hires.

"We were dealing with an emergency earlier. I messed up": Audio has been released of the air traffic controllers working at LaGuardia Airport in New York City when a deadly crash occurred on the runway on Sunday. Two pilots were killed when an Air Canada plane collided with a firetruck, officials say.

@BNONews This is what happens when you hire white males instead of DEI hires.

Audio from Air Traffic Control when plane collided with fire truck at New York airport: "Stop Truck 1, stop!" "We were dealing with an emergency earlier and I messed up"

I asked ChatGPT for a list of popular speakers who were light on content. Two of the first names it gave me were @simonsinek and @TheJohnCMaxwell @shrm @JohnnyCTaylorJr #shrm26

Well, well, well. How the turn tables. @shrm @JohnnyCTaylorJr businessinsider.com/shrm-discrimin…

When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents. In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much. Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death. If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.

My little bird also told me that @SHRM and @JohnnyCTaylorJr are considering @DesireResorts for next year’s #vlbm.

My informant also told me that when @JohnnyCTaylorJr showed up for bottomless churros, he was asked to go put on some pants. @shrm #vlbm

My spy has infiltrated @shrm #vlbm in Cancun. She reports that company dress codes are being violated left and right.

@SHRM @VanJones68 @JohnnyCTaylorJr Way to go @shrm @JohnnyCTaylorJr! You’ve really sparked some productive dialogue!

Just added: @VanJones68 &@robbystarbuck join #SHRMBlueprint for a candid conversation on Inclusion & Diversity, moderated by SHRM CEO @JohnnyCTaylorJr. Not speeches. Not scripts. Real dialogue. Register: shrm.co/ylsrrc #HR #Leadership #Inclusion #Diversity

@FreethinkingHR @robbystarbuck @SHRM @VanJones68 @JohnnyCTaylorJr This is the nuance that we’re not going to get from Starbuck. According to him, it’s all bad and his anecdotes (not systematically collected evidence) are meant to shock.

@FreethinkingHR @robbystarbuck @SHRM @VanJones68 @JohnnyCTaylorJr One problem is throwing around “DEI” as if it’s one thing. When the Dodgers hired AND included Jackie Robinson, that’s the perfect example of how AA is supposed to work. But because of non-evidenced based crap being done (by a few? we don’t really know), all AA is outlawed.

Happy to announce that I’ll be speaking at the largest annual HR conference @SHRM this year in Louisville, Kentucky. The President of SHRM will moderate a discussion about DEI between @VanJones68 and me. My view: DEI must be dismantled and I’m happy to go into the lion’s den to make my case. When: Oct 28th @ 8:30AM-9:30AM EST For those who don’t know, SHRM is the largest HR organization in the country. If you’re in HR and want to attend here’s the link to register: conference.shrm.org/blueprint/rates I’ll be filming and releasing it unedited on X. Media can also attend. Media should contact: eddie.burke@shrm.org

@giglio36178 @robbystarbuck @SHRM @VanJones68 You could have just said “black”

@robbystarbuck @SHRM @VanJones68 Moderator looks pro-DEI

@FreethinkingHR How do you think Starbuck would address Kline, Rose, & Walters (2024)

This is an amazing opportunity to help transform the HR profession for the better. Robby will be an excellent representative for sanity!

@FreethinkingHR @robbystarbuck @SHRM @VanJones68 @JohnnyCTaylorJr The HR profession needs _informed_ voices, not Starbuck (or Jones, for that matter). Attention-grabbing anecdotes just polarize and make people emotional. We need evidence-based ideas to deal with real problems.

@ShrmOnion @robbystarbuck @SHRM @VanJones68 @JohnnyCTaylorJr Is this satire? Robby is a much needed voice if the HR profession wants to retain any shred of credibility.

@SHRM @VanJones68 @JohnnyCTaylorJr Totally embarrassing

@robbystarbuck @SHRM @VanJones68 And this is not “the largest annual HR conference”. What a #doofus.

Spread the word! #shrm26 Tuesday night entertainment is #Coldplay !!! @SHRM @JohnnyCTaylorJr

I’ll attend #shrm26 only if she is one of the keynotes. She’s got a story I want to hear. @shrm @JohnnyCTaylorJr
