The first Pinkerite blog post was about Steven Pinker defending race science promoter Linda Gottfredson.
The most recent post is Steve Pinker having kind words for the far-right, race science promoting Quillette.
But a few things have changed since Pinkerite's first anniversary:
- Quillette staff member Bo Winegard has proven to be a hard core bona fide racist.
- Quillette staff member Andy Ngo went from a right-wing grifter on the fringes of the political world to a right-wing grifter at the center of the Republican/Trump party's bogus "law and order" campaign.
- Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Guiffre's testimony provides details that seem to point to Steven Pinker spending time on Epstein's island.
Some Pinkerite accomplishments this year:
- Interview with Maxine Margolis.
- Added race science info to infamous race science promoter John Paul Wright's Wikipedia page.
- Begun adding Natural History column "The Human Strategy" written by anthropologist Marvin Harris in the 1970s.

I was surprised that my series on Why Robin DiAngelo is Bad, published in June 2019 suddenly became popular in 2020. It seems that bigger media hitters than Pinkerite had discovered how wacky DiAngeloism is and began to criticize the concept of "white fragility."
It's nice that I'm not a lone voice howling in the wilderness about DiAngelo any more. I will be writing a follow-up on DiAngelo soon.
