Every HR training is like:
Susan is wearing jeans. Tim says, "Hey toots, nice gams. Squats? Awoooooga." Tim pounds the table with his fists, whistles, hits himself on the head with a mallet, his eyes eject from his head, and his skull opens to reveal a screaming steam whistle.
Is this appropriate?

You remember during the first little mini-series bit of Battlestar Galactica when the cylons can fuck up all the tech, so communication is printed on paper and you have to physically take it across the ship to whoever needs the memo?
It's that.

Gen Z are going retro, with studies showing a resurgence in people buying tech in the modern age that can be dated back decades.

This is the crux of the bargain white ppl made voting for trump & the gop. "Rid us of brown ppl & make white ppl the majority again & we will sacrifice our jobs, savings, homes, and even children." They 💯 factored in those losses & decided it was worth it. That's why nothing else he does matters

What we’re seeing is a repeated and increasingly explicit offer of white reconciliation over a shared commitment to preserving white supremacy.
James Carville a few months ago: "Roll over and play dead."
James Carville now: "The Democratic Party must now run on the most populist economic platform since the Great Depression."
Genius! If only someone had thought of this before!

My most woke opinion is I *do* want to ban and confiscate guns. We should melt them all down and build a bridge over the Rio Grande with them, which we paint rainbow.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
