White Feminist Woman at Georgetown University working in the admissions department openly admitted that she REJECTED white men’s applications simply because they were WHITE MEN.
Brief: A female advisor in the admissions department at Georgetown University has been caught openly admitting that she committed the CRIME of discrimination based on people’s race and gender in the application process.
This has the potential to create a large scale lawsuit against Georgetown University, and with the momentum building at the rate it is building, seems very likely that will be the outcome.

Yeah well, don’t get too excited …..
Seems there is a rumour that this is a hoax and Georgetown University denies any such person ever worked there.
Thanks, Kate. I am well reminded of why I don’t pay any attention to WIRED.
This is a general comment on SDA posts that link to some sort of twitter item. They make no sense. There is no content there. I don’t know what you are referring to, Kate, when you post stuff like this.
Needless to say I am a social media dinosaur. I see no point in Twitter because it is so shallow and devoid of content and context. I liked SDA much better in its pre-Twitter days.
WIRED is one of the worst compilations of liberal hipster BS on the market today. It is one of those things that make you stupider if you read it. Kind of like Mein Kampf or anything by Marx.
I think if “i” would introduce some pork into his/her/it’s diet, the writing might improve dramatically.

That makes 3 of us.
I always thought I could do a fair job of reading between the lines, but most of the time these twitter posts don’t make any sense to me.
Irony must be lost on Wired writers.
How can you write a post on how the “cassandra” science writers of the 90’s got it wrong, then close by beating the drum for the “cassandra” climate doomsayers forecasts of our coming weather apocalypse, which really got humming in the 90’s?
Amen Phantom!! Wired used to be a really good rag, but now it is just a giant leftie echo chamber for the newly monied.
Gave up on it a long time ago.
Science like everything else these days is mixed with politics. Like Journalism it appears to be objective but never is. Think I’m wrong? Just look at every major advance, That usually was discovered by accident or by someone in another field of study. You can also include the odd inventor who comes out of no science background.What cadres of certain disciplines do,is refine what has been discovered elsewhere.

In the early days, WIRED was interesting – Neil Stephenson’s piece of the “FLAG” projects remains a riveting story, even years afterwards: Mother Earth Mother Board But as it got more popular, it attracted all the half-wit pundits who are consistently wrong and who consistently substitute their political agenda for science. I haven’t picked up an issue in ages, either.
but there was an interesting story in one of the free Toronto papers yesterday, projecting what would happen in 2043. It started out by saying in 1983, there were no cell phones, public Internet, blogs, most cars got under 20 mpg, etc., etc. It then projected what life would be like in 2043 – very little human contact since we would all be interacting virtually, much less travel because the virtual experience would be almost as good as being there, very little work since robots would be doing almost everything, etc. Thing those are going to turn out as wrong as the “flying cars” we were all supposed to have by now.

And as this article points out, if you really want to sell snake oil on an industrial scale, government is your best buyer:
