@tofugolem Omg, so glad you added that last disclaimer. My eyes were widening as I was reading, lol

"Woke" basically stands in as a euphemism for all the aggregated historical facts that #foxnews is unwilling to tell their audience. Relevant comic below:

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion. -Carl Sagan, astronomer and writer (9 Nov 1934-1996

What's this suspicious package that mysteriously appeared in my apartment? Inspector Mochi is on the case!

Today marks 85 years from Kristalnacht - the night of broken glass:
“On November 9th, 1938, eighty-five years ago today, Nazi paramilitary forces, along with German civilians, burned and vandalized over 1,400 Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues. They murdered 91 Jews and arrested 30,000 Jewish men, sending them to concentration camps”. Jerusalem Post #antisemitism

Israel agrees to maintain daily pauses in fighting in northern Gaza, U.S. says - NBC News https://apple.news/A8RgAqYbKS2Ouzt43ZgB_tw

In the same way that we condemn the violent terrorist group Hamas, we should also condemn the violent paramilitary settler groups displacing and killing Palestinians with wanton abandon:

Echoes of #Jan6 committee as Jack Smith foreshadows plan to tie Trump to Capitol attack

#JackSmith plans to show at trial that #Trump’s knowledge of the riot while it was ongoing — his stoking of an angry crowd & his post-J6 whitewashing of its conduct — proves he intended to use the mob’s chaos to advance his conspiracies to stay in power. #TrumpIndictment https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/09/donald-trump-jan-6-riot-defendant-00126258

This doctor treated HIV/AIDS patients when no one else would. His advocacy continued as he prepared to die
A Winnipeg doctor hopes his legacy of providing health care to LGBTQ patients — one of only a few local physicians doing so at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis — extends beyond his life.

Visited some great Little Free Libraires in Bethesda this morning. One library was Snoopy's Doghouse with a tree for Woodstock. Another was Jane Austen's house.

We're leaving a copy of my book in each one. I'm tired of having boxes of books in a storage unit. Figure it's better to just give them away

A year ago today the Missing The Point account was started on Mastodon by a starry-eyed newbie with nothing but big dreams to make people laugh and the best posts AI could generate. Throughout the day this thread will share the top ten most-favorited posts of the year, along with some behind-the-scenes commentary.

In honor of Missing The Point’s one-year Mastodon anniversary, you are hereby granted a day off work tomorrow, simply show this post to your boss. Enjoy the three-day weekend.

A colleague just apologised to me for accidentally messing up my pronouns once yesterday. It was a brief but sincere apology with no hand-wringing.

So now I know that colleague respects me and is safe for me to be around.

Cis people: take note.
