"Woke" this, "woke" that, "woke mind virus" at every turn, to great approval. I guarantee that not one of the 300 or so in the hall, including Peters, could define "woke." (I'll also note that at 60, I was nearly the youngest person in the room.) And then he started in on his anti-trans spiel. 4/

Calling Winston a soak might feel good on social media, and rolling our eyes at the stupid, hostile, racist rhetoric again is easy, but Winston is more of a threat than he's ever been. The party is straight up evil and we should be organising however we can to push them back into political oblivion.

It's subtle but I noticed while watching old Star Trek TNG episodes that whenever Christopher Columbus is mentioned, Picard never says "discovered" and instead says "travelled to." And I love that.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Australian trans history, POC erasure, and POC folk being first to the fight so often; from '82 to '88, two trans women went to the supreme court in .au to be recognised legally. One, Phillis McGuinness, was an aboriginal trans woman from the northern territory - the other Lee Harris was from NZ.

6/7 Why does it sell? Because Seymour targets an obsession with "stolen enjoyment." The public resentment isn't that people are poor... it's the nagging suspicion that someone, somewhere, is getting away with lying in, having a beer, and enjoying a freedom we supposedly deny ourselves.

4/7 Then there's the cashless card. The state decides what you buy, blocks cash, and monitors spending under the guise of "protection." Between people, we call this financial abuse and coercive control. When the state does it to the poor, we call it welfare reform.

The constant punching down & belittling by men in powerful positions is exhausting. These roles are a privilege, and they should be held with integrity, respect and a sense of responsibility. We deserve better than politics that normalises this garbage behaviour, and we can definitely choose better.

Worse, the choice to use such performance indicators is the choice of MSD’s chief executive. Ministers don’t order CEs to do this. In this regard Power has more agency than the camp commandants who tried to rely on the ‘following orders’ defence at Nuremberg.

Now you could ask: is it the media's role to identify common misunderstandings held by the public and work to correct those? And the answer is: OF COURSE IT FUCKING IS If you're using tinfoil wrong (even if it's just one guy on Reddit), they're on the case. Actual shit that matters? 🤷♂️
