Report shows Minneapolis Police Bias

June 26, 2023 By Karl Leave a Comment

    Attorney General Merrick Garland unveiled the Minneapolis police bias report 10 days ago. It confirmed what hundreds of thousands of Black Lives Matter protesters suspected:The Minneapolis police has a problem with explicit and implicit bias.

Psychopath in the C-Suite?

  Nine years ago, author and  psychologist Fred Kiel reported on his research about psychopaths in leadership positions at a Tedx Talk. Psychopaths in C-Suites Kiel  titled his talk, "Psychos in the C-Suite." The term  C-suite usually refers to a company's top management positions, where the C stands for "Chief," O for Officer). Various chief officers (e.g., CExecutiveO, CInformationO, CFinancialO, etc.) occupy the C-suite. Kiel and others suggest C-suites are overpopulated with … [Read more...]

Coach Taylor, QB John Brodie, Killer's Victims

Somebody has recently been convicted of one of the killings attributed to the Stanford Serial Killer. He's John Getreu. But before getting into the case, a few words about why the case intrigues me.

Stanford University played a big role in my life since it strongly supported the schools and youth programs in Palo Alto, California where I grew up. I  rode my bike to summer jobs at Hewlett Packard's first HQ near Sand Hill Road  … [Read more...]

Paris Hilton – the First Human Barbie?

It's no surprise that Margot Robbie is playing the first human Barbie in her new movie. Her looks and stature make her a natural to portray Mattel's doll introduced in 1959.  But Paris Hilton, too, can resemble the most famous toy of all.
