Trump Wants Snitches to Report on DEI. There’s Just One Problem.

Donald Trump wants people to expose diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the federal government. The idea is already flopping.

The threat was loud and clear: Report your so-called “DEI” employees or else. What exactly “DEIA or similar ideologies” means is up in the air, but the message was out there. And so was the email address of the DEIA snitching hotline. Fake emails quickly started to roll in. ‘I don’t care, fuck these McCarthyite bastards,” one BlueSky user said, with an screenshot attached of an email to the hotline where he ironically reported Donald Trump and JD Vance for being “put in their positions solely because of their race and/or gender despite the fact that they are wholly unqualified for their jobs and, in some cases, have criminal records.” “Anyone have a script to fire off a billion e-mails an hour??” another user asked in the replies. “Anyone can email anything of any size even if it crashes the site,” one X user noted. The scope and effectiveness of this latest phase of Trump’s anti-DEI crusade remains to be seen.

tfp soundwave either doesnt sneeze (soundwave: superior. sneeze: inferior), it sounds like a cat, or you'd think a demon crawled out from the pits of the underworld.

One of three options. Take it or leave it.

Cybertronians sneezing

Like, whooshing air sharply out of their vents in order to clear irritants- basically the same idea as anything else sneezing, but with their entire body as opposed to just their nasal area. 

Big bots sneezing and sending data-pads flying. 

Little bots having sneezing fits and falling out of their chairs. 

Bots trying to hold in big sneezes by clamping down their plating- and then said plating just goes flying off. 

Seekers flying through something irritating during a flight, sneezing right in the middle of a big complicated routine, and just kind of completely losing all the dramatic effect. 

THEY ALL LOOK SO INNOCENT AND HAPPYYY-

SAVE THE COONS

Fight AI and Protect Endangered Cozumel Raccoons!

Remaking this post with better info on how you can help the critically endangered Cozumel raccoon from your own home by BULLYING AI INTO SUBMISSION.

The issue: There is a critically endangered species of raccoon known as the Cozumel/pygmy raccoon. Among a shitload of other threats, the Cozumel raccoon also has to deal with the fact nobody knows it exists. This issue has gotten worse with Google's new "AI Search Overviews." Unfortunately, when people search things like "Mexican raccoons" or "What species of raccoons are in Mexico," all the results show coatis. Which are not raccoons (they are more closely related to Olingos.) Mexico actually has two species of raccoon, the common raccoon (Procyon lotor) and the Cozumel raccoon (Procyon pygmaeus.) If people can't even find the Cozumel raccoon on google without using the actual species name, how tf are folks supposed to know they are endangered and need help?

Anyway, here is a way you can fight back against Google's bullshit AI and search algorithms that are limiting pygmy raccoon conservation efforts:

Method 1: Report Incorrect Google AI Overview Results

1. Google phrases like “Mexican raccoons,” “what species of raccoon are in Mexico," "types of raccoons in Mexico," “what kind of raccoons live in Mexico," etc.

2. If coatis appear instead of actual raccoons in the Google AI Overview, scroll to the bottom and click the thumbs down.

3. Click “Report a problem”

4. Click “Not Factually Correct” or "Unhelpful."

5. Type something along the lines of: “Mexican raccoons are not coatis. The two raccoon species in Mexico are the common raccoon, Procyon lotor and the critically endangered pygmy raccoon/Cozumel raccoon (Procyon pygmaeus)” or "Bro, I searched for raccoons, this is a coati. Show me the raccoons."

6. Click “Include a screen capture” and submit.

Method 2: Report Individual Search Results

Find any search result that refer to coatis as Mexican raccoons

2. Click the three dots next to the listing.

3. Scroll right and click “Feedback.”

4. Select “Inaccurate content” or "Irrelevant content." Again, whatever floats your boat.

5. Explain the error by typing something like I mentioned above.

6. Click “Include screenshot.”

7. Submit your report.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!!
