One of the things about "the font is woke" is that they clearly have run out DEI copper wiring to rip out of the walls so they're just searching for literally anything to claim as a victory
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move
Rubio Stages Font Coup: Times New Roman Ousts Calibri
The secretary of state called it a "wasteful" diversity move, according to an internal department cable seen by Reuters.

Running tends to get characterised as an entirely physical pursuit, which is probably why I avoided it for so long

This is the same Noah Smith who, on arriving in Poland, complained that Warsaw airport doesn't have any escalators, when it has more escalators than the state of Wyoming. I'm not sure he should be allowed to travel unaccompanied; it seems to be too much for him.
Noah Smith is paid in the high six-figures to write a blog read by Americans who believe themselves to be intelligent. Yet, he is both unable to read a sign and also for some reason chose to have a 90 minute layover for a flight that takes 90 minutes.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Whereas the influence of newspaper barons like Murdoch was 'in the shadows', through the back door of Downing St & splashed across front pages, the tech media age of Musk allows the algorithm to get directly into people's heads, activating emotional trigger points in a more targeted, insidious way.

We must stop referring to the grooming gangs as “Muslim” gangs. Why are journalists doing this? There is nothing to suggest religion played a part. We don’t call the vast majority of groomers “Christian groomers” or “Christian paedophiles”. Grooming gangs involving some Pakistani men is accurate.

Elon Musk is a good example of how terrible people become increasingly radicalized into the far right simply because the far right is a community that accepts cruel, terrible people.
It's tempting to say Elon is going "mask off", but I'd wager Elon didn't know who Tommy Robinson was 5 years ago. 1/

The irony is that the man who didn't want the EU's influence on the UK is begging Elon to become involved in UK politics.
