@DorothyKohout [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [02]: @prageru @JeremyDBoreing @JJudahIsaac @amalaekpunobi @VivekGRamaswamy @AmandaEnsing This Prager video gets the definition of #woke wrong in a rather significant way. The injustices aren't invisible unless you make a robust and very deliberate effort to not see them. [URL redacted]

Addendum the tweet criticises the PragerU short for its willingness to ignore #OtheringDiscriminationRacismStructuralSystemicInstitutional (and actually, #TheorySociologyIntersectionality). In this sense, the criticism implies that the piece is best understood as a deliberate, culturally induced form of ignorance i.e. #EpistemologyAgnotologyIgnorance [Wikipedia] #MetaphorDeceitDisingenuousGlibFacile

#BrandAccessIntelligenceLLCPRNewsGroupSophieMaerowitz [Muckrack] "On Jan. 6 at 2:55 p.m. ET--about 20 minutes after insurrectionists breached the U.S. Capitol building--beauty influencer Amanda Ensing tweeted, 'There's not enough popcorn in the world for what's about to happen.' A self-proclaimed Trump supporter and Christian, Ensing has long been vocal about her political and religious views on social media.
Users on both the left and the right were quick to condemn Ensing's Jan. 6 comment, with fellow influencer Gabriel Zamora tweeting, 'this is entertainment to you?' and others questioning Ensing's religious convictions. In addition, social media users have denounced Ensing for 'blackfishing,' or pretending to be black or mixed-race online for personal gain. (No evidence has refuted Ensing's half-Puerto Rican heritage, although critics have alleged a misleading opportunistic and "rebrand")." https://www.prnewsonline.com/sephora-influencer-PR-Ensing

Revengeful, bloodthirsty, cunning, treacherous, and savage, Nat was the ravager of white women who defied all the rules of plantation society.

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianDanMilmo "Palantir, which draws its name from the powerful crystal balls deployed in JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, is the favourite to win a £360m contract for the NHS's Federated Data Platform (FDP). Covering everything from individual patients' data to vaccination programmes, waiting lists and medical trials, the FDP will aggregate data from multiple sources and different formats on to a single platform. ... The ambitious scope of the platform has alarmed campaign groups, who fear for patient confidentiality, privacy and data security, but the identity of the frontrunner has also caused concern. US-based Palantir was co-founded by Peter Thiel, one of Silicon Valley's few high-profile Donald Trump supporters. The $15.6bn (£12.7bn) company has been criticised for its work with the US immigration agency, as well as its intelligence service and defence contracts. It already works closely with NHS England by providing software that processes data for a variety of purposes including take-up of Covid-19 vaccines and managing the post-pandemic bounce back in elective care (surgery or treatment booked in advance). But the prospect of it setting up an overarching data platform for NHS England has alarmed Foxglove, a UK legal campaign group that focuses on accountability in the technology industry. Foxglove's concerns, and those of similar organisations, centre on two aspects: the safety of patient data, and the nature of the company that will set up the data framework and seek to exploit it. ... The head of Palantir's London office is Louis Mosley, grandson of Oswald Mosley and nephew of the late former president of Formula One's governing body, Max Mosley, who became a privacy campaigner later in life. Speaking to the Sunday Times in 2020, Louis Mosley said Palantir's origins were as a defender of personal privacy. 'Palantir was actually started to guard against government overreach into personal privacy. Much of the software we've built is to prove those kinds of protections.'" https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/jun/21/palantir-concerns-over-data-firm-poised-to-be-operating-system-of-nhs #IRLAuthorJRRTolkien #1954_TheLordOfTheRings #BrandTechNHSFederatedDataPlatformNHSFDP [Wikipedia] #LiteralHealthcare #ToponymAmericaNorthUSCaliforniaNorthernSiliconValley #PhenomnPrivacyConfidentiality #ConditionVirusCOVID19 #AdvocacyUKFoxgloveLegal https://www.foxglove.org.uk/who-we-are/ [pdf] #JournalBritishMedicalJournalBMJ 'A controversial new federated data platform for the NHS in England', BMJ 2023; 383 (Published 29 November 2023).

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianDanMilmo "Palantir, which draws its name from the powerful crystal balls deployed in JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, is the favourite to win a £360m contract for the NHS's Federated Data Platform (FDP). Covering everything from individual patients' data to vaccination programmes, waiting lists and medical trials, the FDP will aggregate data from multiple sources and different formats on to a single platform. ... The ambitious scope of the platform has alarmed campaign groups, who fear for patient confidentiality, privacy and data security, but the identity of the frontrunner has also caused concern. US-based Palantir was co-founded by Peter Thiel, one of Silicon Valley's few high-profile Donald Trump supporters. The $15.6bn (£12.7bn) company has been criticised for its work with the US immigration agency, as well as its intelligence service and defence contracts. It already works closely with NHS England by providing software that processes data for a variety of purposes including take-up of Covid-19 vaccines and managing the post-pandemic bounce back in elective care (surgery or treatment booked in advance). But the prospect of it setting up an overarching data platform for NHS England has alarmed Foxglove, a UK legal campaign group that focuses on accountability in the technology industry. Foxglove's concerns, and those of similar organisations, centre on two aspects: the safety of patient data, and the nature of the company that will set up the data framework and seek to exploit it. ... The head of Palantir's London office is Louis Mosley, grandson of Oswald Mosley and nephew of the late former president of Formula One's governing body, Max Mosley, who became a privacy campaigner later in life. Speaking to the Sunday Times in 2020, Louis Mosley said Palantir's origins were as a defender of personal privacy. 'Palantir was actually started to guard against government overreach into personal privacy. Much of the software we've built is to prove those kinds of protections.'" https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/jun/21/palantir-concerns-over-data-firm-poised-to-be-operating-system-of-nhs #IRLAuthorJRRTolkien #1954_TheLordOfTheRings #BrandTechNHSFederatedDataPlatformNHSFDP [Wikipedia] #LiteralHealthcare #ToponymAmericaNorthUSCaliforniaNorthernSiliconValley #PhenomnPrivacyConfidentiality #ConditionVirusCOVID19 #AdvocacyUKFoxgloveLegal https://www.foxglove.org.uk/who-we-are/ [pdf] #JournalBritishMedicalJournalBMJ 'A controversial new federated data platform for the NHS in England', BMJ 2023; 383 (Published 29 November 2023).
