Ron DeSantis' Lawyers Asked to Define "Woke" and The Results is a GEM

It is hard to believe they could say this without questioning themselves, but this actually happened. Florida's Stop WOKE Act that DeSantis brought to life made it it illegal for anyone who takes state money, including teachers and most college professors, to espouse that unquestionably accurate bel

@cstross The MuskPhone will be a brushed-steel pyramid that looks like a miniature CyberTruck & stabs you painfully in the ear every time you try to use it.

It runs two apps. One is Twitter, the "everything app". When the phone ships in late 2026, Twitter has been reduced to a single function, "Dial-a-Fash", which randomly connects you to someone who complains that the woke mind virus has ruined tech. The other is Muskify, a music app, which gives you access to a full library of all Ye's music.

Guns kill people. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/07/world/americas/mass-shootings-us-international.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Why Does the U.S. Have So Many Mass Shootings? Research Is Clear: Guns.

Americans advance a lot of theories for why they have so many more gun deaths than other countries do. The answer is lying in plain sight.

There are credible accusations that Herschel Walker has threatened to kill multiple women, including the mother of his son, according to his son. Seems like that should get mentioned more often.

He's reinstated almost every evil right-winger he can find, only interacts with sycophants and alt-right figures and tweeted an encouragement to vote Republican hours before election day.

You don't need to report the gaslighting as anything other than ludicrous.

You're accusing the guys who made a hero of a kid whose only accomplishment is getting away with killing two protesters of encouraging violence? Frankly, HOW DARE YOU?
