I'm imagining Saturday morning cartoon style power-up music to go along with this, but the music I listened to most recently is 1970's prog rock, so the power-up music keeps (mighty) morphing into Yes sings.

mastodon 4.7.3I have a variety of interests. I mostly talk about computers (FOSS, Linux, etc) and books (Sci-fi, fantasy, weird fiction, etc). I also talk about US politics. My IRL location is typically within an hour's train ride of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
I strive to be inclusive. There is no place for hate; I will block for racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and other bigotry. My preferred pronouns are he/him.

No, but I did see one today that was parked in the road, partially blocking traffic. At least they had their hazards on

First, let me state the obvious: no, Black kids on ADHD drugs should not be 're-parented'.
Second, I am not at all surprised to hear that RFK Jr holds such a cruel and racist opinion.
Third, I am even less surprised to hear that he is denying his cruel and racist opinion now that he's getting strong negative feedback.

" . . . they suggested I remove it."
Unlikely. It appears to be serving its purpose nicely.

YUP.
DEI is explicitly an attempt to get to "color-blind, hire-the-best-qualified." Reach out to communities that historically have been excluded from your hiring processes. The people you hire should be representative of the wider community.
As usual, hateful people are inaccurately criticizing others for things they themselves are doing.
"You just want to hire that person because of their skin color and sexual orientation!"
Oh, really?!?! It's an exaggeration to say that everyone in the Trump administration is a cis straight white male - but not much of an exaggeration.

Someone I follow boosted this because it's good and well worded. When I read it, I saw that I was not following @godlessmom@mas.to and did so immediately. Dogfooding-adjacent?

It didn't occur to me until you asked, but do three shows I am watching at the moment could be classified as science fiction. With my wife, I'm watching Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, during my train commute, I'm watching The Orville, and I'm trying to catch up on Resident Alien, since there's a new season coming soon.
