It was a term originating in the black community to mean switched on. I don't know who then brought it to the wider culture, maybe Jack Dorsey... Anyway, the pejorative use has got pretty lame, for the reasons stated before.
There's a lot of intolerant people about, Karl Popper said some shit on the subject...
All kinds of people have been labelled woke, this post is probably woke, the letter J is definitely woke and hair is wokest of all. I don't think it's just the rebellious children of evangelicals. All the things are true as are none of the things true.
Lumping loads of people into one group doesn't work for me. I'd rather deal with people on a case by case basis, although some will have a greater level of distrust from me at the outset (I'm thinking politicians and finance people on podcasts).
Before woke there was political correctness, after woke there DEI. A lot of people are always looking to 'other' people. Fortunately here's some Frank Zappa. #OtherPeople https://yewtu.be/watch?v=ffZ4aOXcGR8&listen=1
War criminal now wants all your data in a 'cloud' for LLM analysis...
Someone must have 
really have pissed this kid off...
The WeDecentralise people seem to be interested in all the platforms. Although the podcasts I've heard have tended to feature one protocol, not a round-table. I'd love to hear that too.
Not come across Urbit before.
Thanks for explaining family for me, it's always been a mystery...
That would be amazing, just penalties until they all die of exhaustion.
I donāt look at it in that way, sure I could go all Mises on the situation and see my dad as a purely economic unit. I choose to see it differently though, itās family.
I like the Fediverse, been there since 2019 when I trashed all the corporate bs internet. Lots of friends on there and the music scene is way bigger than here (even considering the proportional differences).
Woke is such a funny word twisted in all kinds of ways until itās just āpeople I donāt likeā.
I like crazy people, thereās a lot of nut cases on Nostr as well, just a different kind.
In my humble opinion people need to chill and accept weāre not all the same and thatās cool.
First penalty shoot out to go into negative numbers.
'Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Nazi Party in my head?' - Nina Power's response to the court case.

This all seems so antiquated and some of these cancel campaigns have lost their power (for public figures outside of normal workplaces at least).
But then you remember #Bluesky exists, which is sort of a Wayback Machine for the revivalists and larpers of Left Twitter 2010s. Bluesky have similarly made Nostr a bogeyman to rally against and slander. (I would suggest it is at least partly cos Bluesky is slightly insecure about their own protocol being 'too white' and 'privileged' .... Aka Whitesky lol).
The left use BlueSky!? I didn't think anyone used BlueSky. Maybe they do, I never made an account as I didn't give the vibe. It is odd that so many on the left reject the indie web for corporate platforms. I've tried to get people on the Fediverse with little luck. One comment was 'why would I want to hang out with a bunch of Linux nerds'.
It doesn't bother me though, I'm very happy with my internet choices. Nostr b2b Fediverse gives a nice balanced outlook on the world without being crushed by babylon.
Connection round my way is so sketchy, one minute it great, then we're hurtled back to 1995 waiting all day for a JPEG download.
Ah I see, well she has two sons and her family are pretty close so I imagine they will be on hand for her. I'd still help out a bit but the bulk of the responsibility is with them.
Hopefully neither get to a stage where they are unable to function at all without help. It's a sad time in many ways but such is life. We all live, we all die.
I know, Iāve taken steps to help reduce the potential impact, I no longer drink alcohol, Iāve adjusted my diet and I keep up with research on the topic.
But, given the care he needs and the situations Iām also dealing with in my own home. How do you suggest I manage the cost of two households whilst caring full time?
I do love him and do what I can. He lives quit far away.
Given th we chaotic nature of my own life, I think the current situation is better than me becoming a full time career for him.
Thereās way more to the story than info Iām sharing on here!
Iām buzzing! Good morning Cristalina šø
