My late husband J-P was one of those who resist the attempts by marketers to shoehorn "Black Friday" into the celebrations of a country that doesn't even celebrate Thanksgiving.

He created this very simple website - please share it widely today!

The biggest difference between Thanksgiving 2020 and Thanksgiving 2021: 20 million people on unemployment benefits then vs. 2 million on unemployment today. - White House Chief of Staff

Let me see if I can tell you why this sucks.

In hit 1999 PC game "Roller Coaster Tycoon", your Park Happiness rating is actually an average, based on the number of happy vs unhappy guests in your park.

As a result, if you drop unhappy park guests into a lake and let them drown, your Park Happiness goes up.

Always do your best. Your best will change from day to day.

What does anti-bias training have to do with audio engineering?

One time, a film maker called me up because she wanted to use a hubub of voices as a music statement but it wasn't coming off. I listened to the audio and knew just the thing! A resonant 70s style low pass filter would keep the timbres but jettison the words. I ran her vocal recording through my synthesiser and proudly returned with the improved audio.

She listened. "This does sound a lot better," she said, "but you've completely prioritised the men's voices and removed the women."

Cis normativity aside, she was right. My process had made altos much softer and pretty much nuked sopranos. I had to go back and organise each audio sample by vocal range and run the filter multiple times. It was time consuming, but the result was much nicer.

She noticed this because she knew what it was to be silenced according to vocal range - something that has gradually faded from my mind as its no longer a regular occurrence for me. If I'd been working with a fellow tenor or a bass, we might never have noticed. The audio would have been worse and the while project subtly effected by unconscious bias.

Instead, when the film was released, a reviewer praised the sound in that section.

Unconscious bias isn't just unfair, it makes *your* work worse.
