Reader, Beware!

I’m reading Ruth Ware’s new novel One Perfect Couple, and at exactly 60% in the book devolves into a woke rant about a racisty racist homophobic homophobe YouTuber who is extremely racist and a “problematic misogynist.” Yes, that’s a quote.

There’s very little by way of actual mystery or plot. Ruth Ware used to be a star of the mystery genre but she now abandoned all that in favor of cheap sloganeering.

It’s such a low trick to bait people into reading and then feed them your stupid politics when they are over half done with the book.

    1. Whenever I see an announcement of funding opportunities from the NSF, there’s always something about how research must contribute to DEI to be funded. It’s an absolute joke. It’s actually worse in hard sciences than in the Humanities. And it’s MUCH worse in business than in academia.

    2. “Politicizing Science Funding Undermines Public Trust in Science”

      Most people think “Oh that’s awful! They’re undermining public trust in science!”

      I think: They really want to undermine public trust in science….. why?
