@GeePawHill The six white supremacists voted for white supremacy.

@mhoye I fear that the big enterprise takeaway from this story will be “our controls and guardrails are much better than that”.

@Bongolian @dxzdb @mathowie @mekkaokereke Yep, and this is key: Fidelity Charitable is itself a charity, and you aren’t in *control* of the money you give it. That’s why donating to it can give you a tax break.

It’s “donor-advised” so you can *request* how you’d like your giving to be allocated, but legally it’s FC and not you making the grant, so they can apply their own rules.

@mattblaze It really is fascinating! I went down this rabbit hole learning about my large suburban FD (Montgomery County MD) and the pre-planning and training is *very* detailed. For each apparatus, once they’re told “you’re the second due” each person (defined by seat) already knows exactly what their initial assignment will be on arrival.

Obviously, very dynamic thereafter. But as they say, plans are useless, but planning is essential.

Nerdsniped.

@mhoye My inner sociolinguist is intrigued!

It would be especially interesting if there are bees held for languages with phonemic spelling, where it likely wouldn’t make sense for native speakers as a language learning thing.
