The "anti-woke" forces on a Texas school board have a new target: A poster that implies interracial friendship is possible.
This isn't a one-off. The long term agenda of the "anti-woke" movement shows that the goal is undoing a century of progress.

Souvenir hunters are haunting the Beetlejuice II movie set in Vermont. Police are investigating two thefts, one of a large lamppost topped with a distinctive pumpkin decoration and the other a 150-pound abstract art piece. apne.ws/vR0mKtF

Well @tweetdeck officially sucks now. Not only is the UI worse in every way, but the functionality is broken. No more real-time streaming columns, no more "Activity" column. Real-time tweets about, e.g., weather warnings matter!

Same-sex sociosexual behaviour is widespread and heritable in male rhesus macaques: It is frequent, can evolve, and is not costly, indicating that SSB may be a common feature of primate reproductive ecology

This is a real place.
It's a village in the Netherlands called Bourtange (population: 430) built in and around an 18th century star fort.
How and why does it exist? That's where things get interesting...

From Sotomayor's dissent: "Today, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants
a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse
to serve members of a protected class."
![Today, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class. Specifically, the Court holds that the First Amendment exempts a websitedesign company from a state law that prohibits the company from denying wedding websites to same-sex couples if the company chooses to sell those websites to the public. The Court also holds that the company has a right to post a notice that says, “‘no [wedding websites] will be sold if they will be used for gay marriages.’” Ibid.](https://venexa.site/media/Fz4ExweaAAA4bpI.png)

From a science camp: You have an ɑ, β and ɣ source. You must hold one, put one in your pocket, and eat one. What do you do? A: Hold the ɑ (can't penetrate skin), β in pocket (can't penetrate fabric), and eat the ɣ (if it's that close, you're !#$! anyway)

"Don't ingest the alpha source!" was a running gag among us kids, and became the camp motto printed on our T-shirts. (Ingesting an alpha source is really bad.)

If you're unable to create a majestic monolith with basic programming tools like encapsulation and namespaces, you don't have what it takes to improve upon the situation with a distributed swarm of microservices. Your spaghetti code will just be on five different plates.

There are over 50,000 registered voters in my city. You know how many of them showed up to Tuesday's election? Less than 10%!
This is why the nutjobs on the other side run away with thing. You have to show up and vote people!

Read "other side" to mean whatever you want. This was only about doing your duty as a citizen, no matter how you vote, but apparently politics is advesarial now...
