I wonder if she might recognize some scents from her holodeck...adventures with Shaxs.
I reject the framing of DEI as a "right buzzword." Don't let them co-opt it.
Unless the story is completely fabricated, I don't see an angle here. If anything, the slant of the article is pro-DEI, which is...not what I would expect from American propaganda in 2025.
