Fox News Host Throws Hissy Fit Over 'Woke' Legos (HuffPost)
The toy company has apparently "gone woke" because of its new figures representing people with disabilities.

Another data point for the theory that the term “woke” now mostly operates to let bad people be publicly mad about things that even they would find embarrassing if they had to just directly say what they were upset about.

This time, it’s another instance of not pretending people with disabilities don’t exist, and by extension, disability rights and accessibility, once again being declared woke. So can we quit pretending that there’s some sort of bipartisan agreement on the belief that people with disabilities should be able to fully participate in society and working towards actualizing that goal now?

There are still way too many people who believe that Mastodon was created as a reaction to Musk's planned (or even actual) takeover of Twitter, and if they find out there's more to the Fediverse than Mastodon, everything else was created even later.

Acutal reverse timeline, to whom it may concern:
Musk bought Twitter in 2022.

ActivityPub was acknowledged a standard in 2018.

Mastodon is from 2016.

Hubzilla is from 2012.

Friendica is from 2010. Actually several months older than Diaspora*.

As early as 2008, we already had something called StatusNet with a huge instance named identi.ca.
