Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•McGill closes DEI office, replaces racialized staffEnglish131·9時間前It’s really not that complicated. If a typical organization is presented with two equally-qualified candidates, one of whom is a minority (of any kind, not just a racial minority), the organization will hire the non-minority candidate nearly every time. DEI policies exist to combat that sort of institutional bigotry.

I had a ball doing that. And I mean, again, during the “Star Trek” world, it’s lovely people, and it was nothing but pleasure, and it was a dream wish fulfillment for me to be able to be in “Star Trek.” I play a very interesting, complicated guy, bad guy, I suppose. I’m a bad guy. Yeah, I guess I’m a bad guy. But yeah, so I dunno what more I can say about that without giving too much away.
I’m in more than one episode. I have a little arc through this season. I reappear and become more problematic as the show goes on.
Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteto Canada@lemmy.ca•Sifting the Rubble After Rebel News Worked the Election DebateEnglish11·2日前I think the only path forward is for journalists to get serious about defining and protecting their job. No government is going to step in to do it because of the optics, but many sectors have colleges that define and enforce standards of behaviour.
It’s time for journalists to step up and do the same.

Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteto Canada@lemmy.ca•Brookfield’s tax avoidance and corporate practices dog Carney campaignEnglish81·3日前I know the questions keep coming up (and it’s totally fair play), but…I don’t have the impression that it’s had any sort of impact on the electorate. Maybe I’m wrong.

They were given a short amount of time (3 days IIRC) to film the epilogue, and by then most of the sets had been dismantled.

Value Subtracted@startrek.websiteOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•Elections Canada announces record turnout on first day of advance votingEnglish8·6日前Just the flexibility to get it done on your own terms, really.
I’m by no means defending this move (it’s dumb and bad, just like…everything else the US government does these days), but they seem to be delegating the inspections to individual states.
I assume at least some states will maintain good standards, and Canada will have to pay close attention to which states those are.

That was at least partly the luck of the draw, though - my polling place had two polling stations open, and the other one had a line the fraction of the length of mine.

Probably. But no journalistic outlet is going to call it “lying” without proof that the leaders don’t sincerely believe what they’re saying.
And that sort of proof is hard to get.

I would imagine the devil’s in the details.
Who’s assessing the artifacts to make that determination?
