    Ok define acronyms FFS (for fuck sake)

    DEI = diversity, equity, and inclusion. Seeing what the hell is hidden behind the letters makes easier to see what this is about

        In my defense this is what i see on the first page,

        then its

        then its

        but yes you are right it appears close after the eventual headline. i missed that and i probably was annoyed by the scrolling to get to the darn article too

          Yes, I scrolled through all that crap, too, but didnt comment on it. I’m not really sure who thinks that’s a good idea, or who enjoys reading articles like that.
