Silicon Valley was never woke. It just played woke on TV. https://tldr.nettime.org/@remixtures/114721179380101771

Woke up to email from Montreal that they have a new parking payment app.
The old one is called “P$Mobile”—good luck remembering that when you’re trying to pay for parking—so maybe this is a step up.
"Proudly 100% made in Quebec” (if you don’t count the XKCD tower of dependencies… sure… I guess). 🙄
Immediately: email input that isn’t designated as such so the keyboard is wrong.
Second thing: it thinks the password I used is too long at >20 characters. This is n…

Last night (Fri night / Sat morning)I awoke at 01:30  with severe chest pains. I was convinced it must be a heart attack even though I’ve never had one and therefore really didn’t know.  I called 911 and woke Collette. EMTs and ambulance arrived within 5 min. Severe pain and severe shortness of breath. EKG was pretty normal.

In the early morning hours of 12 June, Moises Sotelo woke up to go to work in the rolling hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley wine country, a place he has called home for decades.
But a car tailed Sotelo as soon as he left his driveway, according to an account from his co-worker.
Trucks surrounded him just outside of St Michael’s Episcopal church, where he was detained by federal immigration agents.
By the end of the day, Sotelo was in an Ice detention facility.

“Menschen, die nach allen soziologischen Kategorien zur Elite des Landes gehören, wollen sprechen, aber nicht hören, wollen kritisieren, aber nicht kritisiert werden. Wenn sie austeilen, dann ist das Meinungsfreiheit, wenn sie einstecken sollen, dann jammern sie über ‘soziale Kosten’. htt…

„Mediale Schmierenkomödie“: Mächtige Männer als Opfer der „Wokeness“
Precht, Nuhr, Poschardt: Sie hören nicht auf, darüber zu klagen, was man alles nicht mehr sagen darf. Das könnte lustig sein, wenn‘s nicht so tragisch wäre.

Earlier this week, a federal judge in Boston explicitly called out the Trump administration for its
“palpably clear” discrimination against racial minorities
and LGBTQ Americans
in a case involving canceled grants from the National Institutes of Health.
“Have we no shame?”
Judge William Young asked,
