These meme has me on edge S2.
The similar postures, back to back.
I am NOT pro-abortion. Some of the anti-choice rhetoric may have some merit. BUT !
I'm pro-choice.
I'm disgusted with the hypocrites that claim to admire / support noble conservative principles:
- smaller, less intrusive, less authoritarian government, BUT !
Find a social issue and the neo-cons & pseudo-cons demand big authoritarian government solutions.
They do that about deporting non-citizens.
They do that about abortion.
They do that about LGBTQ.

Holy Father:
In literal-minded simplicity you are correct.
But the fact remains, "woke" is used precisely as an insult.
"Woke" is an expression of dismissive contempt used as an insult by those whose sociopolitical positions are antithetical to reasoned conclusions. Why?
Because the application of reason threatens, undermines the MAGA agenda.
Since they can't logically, legitimately, persuasively debate, advocate for their position, they dismiss that do not share it.

True - but that's not the origin of the term

How 'woke' went from an expression in Black culture to a conservative criticism
In the last decade it has been used by some Republicans — and some Democrats — as a pejorative for people thought to be too “politically correct,” another term that took on negative connotations as it gained wider use.

LOST in SPACE
Senior Trekies whose childhood appetite for sci-fi was whet by Lost in Space may recall the "chariot", a full-scale prop. based on Ford Econoline van.
It has been a while. BUT !
The series may have been Lost in Space, but the fantasy hasn't.
Too trivial?
OK nevermind

Utah is killing the Great Salt Lake
Profligate waste and perverse tax incentives are drying up the West’s largest natural body of water.
Wade Graham August 11, 2026
The Great Salt Lake is the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi River and the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere. It historically covered between 1,700 and 2,000 square miles, depending on annual precipitation, before large-scale river diversions began in the 20th century.

Its critical importance to avian life cannot be overstated: It supports up to 60% of the world’s Wilson’s phalaropes, ...
