It’s been falling apart. Institutions of higher learning and private corporations alike have been eschewing DEI initiatives and continue to do so at an increasing rate, in addition to your examples.
“Woke” was the late millennial/Gen Z counterculture.
It’s over. I think the 90’s are up for a repeat.
Just making it through college without any baby daddies or mommas, no face tattoos, no OnlyFans (as a content creator or consumer), wears moderate clothes and a cross (made out of non-precious metals).
You’d be at least 3 standard deviations from the norm.
Oh, and with genitals in tact.
No… instead of deleting their penises… penis lengthening will be the new push back
*metals… I think your average college tramp has sold butthole pics or feet videos
I’m not interested in the kinds of safety problems a procedure like that might introduce for me, but I could at least understand why a rational person might want to take that kind of medical risk.
Transvestism has existed since long before wokeism. Of course it’s not going anywhere. What is fading out is a propagated seat of cultural relevance. Back to the fringe.
What I truly hope will fade out is all of the “experts say” crowd who promote the incorporation of transgender ideology in public schools. Reality continues to mount its case against their predictions.
Yeah, this was an interesting push to make counterculture the norm, but it was always the tail wagging the dog. You can’t really defeat nature, even if you don’t prescribe a religion to describe it 
Even though I’m optimistic about the Maine public HS mock election, I still see a lot of young people in my neighborhood who go out of their way to make it known that they are trans, some through obvious medical procedures.
What happens when those people grow up and reality never conforms to what they were told to expect?
The logical next step is to scream oppression and try turning all the other straight kids into gays.
You know, because they can’t have their own.
I agree and I really hope we get some new comedy films that can begin to hold a candle against what we got to enjoy in the 1980’s and 1990’s.
With any luck, the Trump Administration can somehow orient us mindless sheep towards feelings of anger against a new enemy for a truly epic Red Dawn remake that spits in the face of everything woke.
For now I’ll have to be satisfied with lots of good conversations with locals at the bar earlier, where the only beverage I drank was a club soda with lime.
One of the positive things about Maine is that I can get the best eggs I’ve ever had at my local weed store. They aren’t always in-stock at $5 a dozen, but it has been my observation that showing up at the weed store before noon is a good way of snagging a dozen or sometimes two. I’m not a greedy hoarder and I have only bought the last dozen on one desperate occasion.
They are really great eggs with perfect yolk color, flavor, lack of shell fragmentation when cracking, and no two eggs are alike in any given dozen. They are all a lovely variation in size, shape and color, but there have been no variations in the quality. They are the best eggs I can get.
These eggs and other products they sell have contributed to my conclusion that we just held an extremely significant historical election.
Like it or not, this has probably been the greatest policy struggle that’s played out at the Presidential level since Lincoln. I am just a history hobbyist, not an expert, but I can’t think of any election with so many policy differences since then.
Given that historians of 50 years from now will likely be able to understand the details of our thought processes about why we did the things we did in a way that’s never been possible before, I predict we’ll go down in history as the hapless dipshits who had to figure out the internet.
They will have to rectify their own internal conflicts, or be riddled with dissonance and disorder until such time that they either break it or it breaks them.
Or they can blame Trump. That seems to work well enough for those who feel the need to do such a thing.
I’d prefer to keep the details of my life private around here, but I will say that myself and my family work closely with the EPA and under trump the EPA was gutted and hamstrung and pollution measurably increased causing measurable, noticeable damage to certain local ecosystems. I can say from direct experience that the anti-enviro supreme court has had a significant chilling effect on both the EPAs, and citizens’ ability and desire to hold polluters accountable, and those polluters have taken advantage and ceased or rolled back long established mitigation/management efforts. This will continue and accelerate in trumps seconds term as an anti regulation SCOTUS gets locked in with the replacement of Alito/Thomas.
I’m sorry you saw the EPA as a PITA. From my direct, recent experience I see it daily, directly keeping industry from wrecking our natural world chasing marginal gains in profit. I want to leave my kids and grandkids a clean beautiful world… Not the Cuyahoga river on fire.
Working in wind power generation can take a heavy toll on the best of us.
Don’t just tease us man. Bring us the cases that the Supreme Court has heard and what their ruling was.
Otherwise it looks like you’re using anecdote and intimation without facts to back it up.
And not some state level rulings either. I want to see the Federal rulings, since thats what you’re implying is putting a quash on the EPA.
It gets worse. I dealt with this silliness in triplicate. Not only the EPA, but the Florida Department of Environmental Regulations (now known as the Florida Department of Environmental Protection) and our city’s Environmental Protection Board. Maybe we were the exception, because we took 100% effort to protect the environment, but dealing with these ass wipes tested my patience.
Site a specific case and quantify the environmental damage.
What does hold polluters accountable mean? Are you saying that they are polluting and the EPA can do nothing about it, or are you suggesting that they are no longer complying with a regulation that is thought by the EPA could prevent damage to the environment.
We were doing the mercury recording that provided zero information at a high cost to us. My guess is the expense was around $500,000 per year. We complied doing a function with a net value to the environment that wouldn’t buy you a Big Mac.
Severely overestimated
Didn’t you hear him? it measurably increased pollution, causing measurable damage.
Because nothing says “unquantifiable” like repeating the same thing twice without including numbers.
And on the birds
Environmental friendly my ass
Over regulation of light bulbs. AC units, furnaces, stoves, fridges are not gonna save the planet
Its a money making propaganda machine that you have grossly fallen for
