Now we have to listen to every tech CEO dipshit who has the money to end poverty, but won’t because “woke” or whatever, use the term “super intelligence” because they think kissing a janky real-estate huckster’s ass will heal the psychic wounds from never getting picked to play dodgeball.

I find the discourse around "wokeness" to be dishonest and tedious, but this is what I wrote about it a couple of years ago and I think it remains correct: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
I could go on, but I think you get the point. These things are real; they happened. To believe that the disadvantages of race, class, and gender imposed lawfully over centuries never occurred or entirely disappeared in just a few decades is genuinely “radical” in a negative way; to believe that creating those disadvantages was wrong and that they should be rectified is not. The idea that no one ever succeeds based on advantages unrelated to their personal abilities is likewise radical, and also ludicrous. But you can, perhaps, understand why one of the richest men in the world would consider the opposing idea—that where many people end up in life is the result of unearned advantages—to be a “woke mind virus” that should be eradicated. That kind of thinking leads to higher marginal tax rates for people with private planes.

Some people so deeply resent the implication that they possess any unearned advantage that, in Republican-run states all over the country, the same folks who were recently shrieking about free speech and oversensitive snowflakes are busy using the power of the state to ban discussions about factual matters that might hurt their feelings, such as descriptions of racial segregation in the story of Rosa Parks. The irony here is that by framing everything they don’t like as a symptom of pervasive oppression against white people or Christians that must be rectified by the state, they have themselves adopted the inverse of the logic they decry as “wokeness.” They believe that America’s demographic majorities are the targets of broad institutional discrimination, which is unjust not because such discrimination is morally abhorrent but because it is targeted at the wrong people.

“I’m frustrated because management is not agreeing to a basic cornerstone of every union contract,” says news apps developer Al Shaw. Seniority-based layoff protections are important both for protecting long-time staffers AND for ensuring layoffs can’t be used to circumvent Just Cause protections.

I believe stanning a politician hard enough to put them on a phone background should be an impeachable offense. No grown adult willing to humiliate themselves like that is fit for public office.
Not long after Emil Joseph Bove III first donned the robe as a federal appeals court judge in September, one of his new colleagues was surprised upon catching a glimpse of the background image on his iPhone. It was the photo of Donald J.
Trump, bloodied by a would-be assassin's bullet in Butler, Pa., with one fist raised in the air.
A former personal lawyer for Mr. Trump, Judge Bove is not the first jurist to hold on to a political memento or two from a past life.
But the Butler photo, which was described by three people with knowledge of it, caused discomfort on the close-knit 14-seat appeals court for Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. It touches on a central question about Judge Bove, who before joining the bench was known as an attack dog for Mr. Trump: whether his loyalty to the president might override his commitment to the rule of law.

The top of tomorrow’s column on the Great American State Fair, arguing it’s patriotic to savor a bully’s humiliation:
Hove President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair. I love its emptiness.
Its expensive food. Its ability to confound Trump-friendly media outlets that keep pretending it's going great.
This spectacle on the National Mall in Washington, DC, part of Trump's Trump-centric celebration of America's 250th anniversary, is like watching your high school bully host a party that no one attends. It's a daily humiliation for a wildly unpopular president who co-opted what should be a unifying national celebration and turned it into repellent schlock.
And I love it so much it hurts.
