  • Woke means always making someone feel guilty

    Nothing but Bluesky coming your way! The Head Groundskeeper transmits two most excellent definitions of Woke. We do so in the belief that identity politics is a greater threat to freedom, good government, and profit taking than Gustavo Fring at a Chinese gain-of-function lab.
