This is a pretty misleading choice of quote to run from me after Mr. Brahman pursued me at length for something that would meet his ideological priors. I’ve asked him never to contact me again.
NEW: A prominent free speech group helped right-wing dark money score a legal win against an Ohio school board and its anti-bullying policy, which protected transgender and nonbinary students.

Here's the thing .... Right, it's 2025. Why is there not a battery bin easy to get to for everyone?
♻ Batteries are NOT trash!
After the holidays, many of us have new gadgets... and old batteries to deal with.
Never throw used batteries in the garbage or recycling bin. They can overheat, catch fire, or cause other hazards if not handled properly.

Capturing the word "woke" from Black dialect & completely flipping its meaning gives this fascist bigotry cover. They now can use "wokeness" euphemistically to describe what they're doing & advance their vision of oppressing the marginalized.
Conservatives rebranded bigotry and every time the media uses “wokeness” as a euphemism they are helping a movement that it quite literally erasing the history marginalized people’s role in American life.

The most pertinent part of this story, to me, is that even someone who hasn’t substantially coded in years could almost immediately discover that the AI coding assistance products (like all Big AI LLM products) are designed to create emotional dependence in their users right from the start.
