    All of these are fantastic and I love them.

    Dutch artist Cor Blok passed away. His illustrations appeared in 60s Dutch editions of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. His works paint such an interesting alternate version of these works. This is the Fellowship on Caradhras—note Noir Boromir and Aragorn.

    It matters less whether any individual person is racist, it matters most that the system is racist.

    Officer Potter was clearly grossly and deadly incompetent. But is there evidence I’m not seeing that implies she had a history of racism?

    I'm still trying to process the premise that Google *lacks the resources* to build their own D&I training Alphabet's market cap is 1.5 TRILLION dollars 2020 Revenue: $182 billion 2020 Net income: $40 billion

    Sources told me new diversity trainings at Google lack the racial justice framework that employees worked hard to build. Google confirmed its turning to vendors to create its diversity training, saying it lacks the resources to build D&I trainings in-house

    I have been badly caught rolling my eyes theatrically in some of these meetings. I have to expend significant effort on online meeting poker face.

    The whole trick to Zoom meetings is identifying the person with greatest insider knowledge and least ability to control their facial expressions—and then keeping an eye on them.
