it's very funny to claim victory over "woke" in tech while simultaneously yelling at another company for still being "woke"

"didn't you hear? we won? you don't have to be woke anymore! please…"

DHH
@dhh
Now that the wheels have fallen off the woke
regime in tech, we'd be smart to offer amnesty to
those who got caught up in it. Be the counter force
to the purity purges that plague that side. Accept
earnest apologies, embrace the fallen, and forgive
those who trespass against us.

Hey @jetbrains, you don't have to do this nonsense
any more. I fully understand why companies felt
cowed into these humiliations, but the woke
regime has fallen, so you can stop performing its
rites.

This. Honestly I'm exhausted with these distractions,
glad we're getting focus back to just shipping good
software. Every time my Jetbrains IDE flags 'fireman'
as an error, I'm reminded of how far we let the
Overton window shift this past decade
Inclusivity
Avoid male pronouns in gender-neutral contexts
People often use gendered pronouns even when they do not know the gender of the person they are
talking about. This can perpetuate gender stereotypes, reinforcing commonly held expectations
about the gender of people in certain roles. Learn more ?
Show examples
Avoid gender-specific nouns
English uses gender-specific terms for some jobs and roles, like policeman, fireman, and chairman.
Use neutral alternatives when gender is not an essential part of the message. Learn more ?
Show examples
Use neutral honorifics
Reset to default
Titles that don't specify marital status, like Ms. Instead of Mrs. and Miss, or gender, like Mx. instead of
Mr. or Mrs., help promote equality and inclusivity. Leam more
Example:
Miss Elizabeth Smith was nominated for a Nobel Prize.
Corrected: Ms. Elizabeth Smith was nominated for a Nobel Prize.
Mx. Elizabeth Smith was nominated for a Nobel Prize.

Convincing my left-wing former close friends on
Facebook that Charlie Kirk wasn't a Nazi or a
fascist is completely futile because I can't even
convince them that I'M not a Nazi or a fascist, and
many have known me since early grade school.

Hey @Chase, why isn't your Barclay Circle Branch

state orders to lower the flag in honor of Charlie
Kirk? You've had since Wednesday to lower it...

I went on a personal crusade around Hastings
and got several flags lowered. Had to have others
join me in getting the Hastings ACE Hardware to
lower theirs, they said "Lowering the flag would be
making a political statement." Before they finally
caved under the pressure.

weird that they would just give a story away like that!

Matt Binder @mattbinder.bsky.social · Sep 13

its been hours since this Fox News reporter tweeted this. still no story up yet at Fox News while other right wing outlets have published it, sourcing this reporter

its a bit odd to let other outlets scoop you. does Fox News not trust their reporter's sources?

@BrookeSingman
EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his
transgender partner, sources tell me.
The individual, who is a male transitioning to a female, is fully
cooperating with the FBI.
Sources tell me the FBI had texts and other communications between
Robinson and the individual that helped FBI authorities solidify that
Robinson was indeed the shooter.

way too many outlets reporting "Hey fascist! Catch!" without the "Up arrow, right arrow, 3 down arrows" part

that was all the same inscription because its a very specific video game reference to Helldivers 2

all we know about Tyler Robinson right now is he is terminally online
