@GeePawHill Isn't drawing the diagram of the idea truly part of the process of fully having the idea?

The thing they mean when they say "woke mind virus" is mostly the idea that women and brown-skinned minorities are not biologically inferior in one way or another to men and whites/asians and should be treated as equals.

They will actually say this out loud if you interrogate their claims or ask them to explain themselves in detail!

@georgetakei These are surprisingly good.
Someone asked ChapGPt to come up with 10 Commandments for the modern world. I could be guided by these principles. Perhaps a new religion is in order?
Good morning
@jasongorman If they are - and I fervently hope they are finished off before they completely sell off the NHS - let's also hope that Labour will not simply implement Tory Lite policies, as Starmer often seems intent on doing.
@jasongorman Give the Tories a few more years. Y'all will catch on pretty quick.

We each make our own life's meaning.

WHY WE'RE NOT POST-COVID

No, the pandemic is not over. The World Health Organization says we're still in a pandemic. WHO declared the public health emergency on 30 January 2020 and a pandemic on 11 March 2020, and it's the entity that gets to decide it's over--not you, me, or President Biden. Days ago, WHO held a meeting to discuss COVID, and it determined the pandemic remains a public health emergency of international concern.

WHO keeps highest alert over COVID three years on

Three years after COVID was first called a global health emergency, the World Health Organization (WHO) has decided to keep its highest alert over the disease.

For the most part, US police don't do what TV shows and the news tell you they do.

They don't run in schools to save children from gunmen.

They don't recover stolen goods.

They don't protect you from domestic violence before it happens.

They don't solve sexual assault cases.

What they do with all those billions of dollars is beat up poor Black folk and extract money from them through fines, tickets, court fees, unpaid prison labor, and theft.

That's the job. And it doesn't keep you safer.
