Remember this deaf girl - Enwongo - I met in the village in 2023? She could not communicate with anyone as nobody could sign in the village. I put her in a school for the hearing impaired, and now she can sign very well. See video. I want to give her a phone with good apps for the deaf - so that during the holidays she can communicate with people. Right now she has nobody to talk to during the holidays. Any tips on good apps to keep an isolated, deaf girl entertained and communicating?

@Noahpinion DEI is to find qualified diverse candidates that end up being the best in hiring pools. not hiring unqualified over qualified tho there might be a minor number of cases. GOP talking points BS for decades, no need to give them credence. good thing to have diverse role models etc

I've been thinking about this too, since the concept of meritocracy has come up in the last two Social Radars episodes, Harj's, which we just released, and Alex Wang's, which is coming up next. pod.link/1677066062/epi…

The startup world is more meritocratic than most things in America. That's one reason I like it. So why are people on the far left so desperate to invent stories about how biased it is? Because the outcomes are so skewed.

@paulg thought more about. if “extrajudicial killing” was used, it’d likely register less emotion. same but different

@paulg not racist but distasteful? when i was younger (& stupid) i used terms like “rape” to describe “winning” or asym results in general. not hard to understand why word choice matters

I’ve been learning to cook for the last 3 years or so, and my path is kind of weird. I only recently realized that I’d been making meals 7 days a week that are kind of intermediate and difficult, because I’ve primarily been learning from like, nonbeginner/pro-am chef blogs.

@bobbysiebert yeah i think a big one is that someone with the personal history of a video that made fun of deaf people’s civics knowledge probably should be careful with name calling… anyways yeah s&s ‘s accomplishment is a political statement in itself and that’s cool

“We must cultivate more citizens like Scott and Shayna who see the perilous mountaintop ahead, but have the audacity to hope that, despite fears and anxieties, something better awaits if we reach for it, nonetheless.” Brilliant stuff by @BrendanUStern: fredericknewspost.com/opinion/column…

@bobbysiebert basically sherpas are commoditized at everest. i’d expect more nuance while analyzing social ills - sport is not a suitable metaphor for the democracy fight

@bobbysiebert it’s such a huge problem that a rant isn’t particularly useful. s&s is fine - more talking about how stern uses their trip as a rhetorical device
