“Brittleness” will focus on racism as literally a part of everything, even things you’d never, ever suspect (DiAngelo does have a PhD in multicultural education, after all).

"Two homeless mothers have temporarily beaten back an eviction attempt brought by the property owners of the vacant West Oakland home they have occupied – without the owner’s permission – for the past six weeks.
On Monday Judge Patrick McKinney heard from both sides inside a jammed-packed courtroom before delaying a decision on whether or not the women would be evicted.
“I want to carefully consider the issues that have been raised,” he said.
...Simon-Weisberg told the judge the women should be allowed to live in the house “in the interest of justice” and based on a needs analysis of Oakland’s homelessness crisis..."

12 of the Most Mortifying Media Bias Moments of 2019
Jussie Smollett (by: zz/Dennis Van Tine/STAR MAX/IPx via AP)
My immediate reaction to seeing this story was, "They only found 12"?
Indeed, the media was a target-rich environment this past year.
MAGA hat rage, Jussie Smollett, the dud Mueller report, "collusion" meltdown; the list could be endless.
Grabien, which has specialized in these "video montages" of idiotic media moments, outdid themselves this year with "The 12 Most Mortifying Media Moments of 2019."
A lot of these media flubs are of the "Don't you wish you knew what we know now" variety," like Jussie Smollett.
The media’s unfortunate habit of stepping on rakes shaped like fake hate crimes continued apace into February. When TMZ first reported that actor Jussie Smollett was the victim of a vicious hate crime, it sounded almost impossible to believe..."

Exposing Junk Science!

However the Guardian claim is based on electricity only, and not all energy, a distinction that apparently is beyond Christiana.
Furthermore, a third of renewable electricity comes from biomass, which most experts now accept is extremely bad for the environment and will not reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
When we look at total primary energy consumption, we find that Christiana’s much vaunted wind and solar power only contributes a paltry 4% in Q3, even when hydro power is added in.
Meanwhile fossil fuels accounted for 77%.
Don’t worry about facts, Christiana!
