Is it "being mocked heavily for promoting gender nonconformity'? The source behind that link is a "page not found" error.

Compelling stuff. Something that nobody cares about didn't even really happen.

Better headline:  "People who think 'woke' is an insult mocked for just now noticing that Doctor Who is 'woke'".

Thinking that it only got preachy recently is also pretty blinkered.

You just woke me up.  I did not know that.

I don't even know which doctor is now Who.

Meanwhile in the Middle East Israel continues the worst massacre, genocide and terror attack in history.
The people of Gaza are without homes, food, water, medicine and hope.
The United States is complicit in this abomination.
Merry Christmas.

That's nuts, driving in that costume might be tricky, but the windshield suggests no seatbelt and I wonder where his phone was.

Ukraine Christmas, war, Bull riding woman, Grinch crash, just amusement for the evening news.
What's really important is sales, profit, bottom line, sell, sell, sell...

Remarkable.Japanese standards of beauty for Caucasians are interesting. I had a high school classmate who was an exchange student in Japan. She didn't get much attention in the States but in Japan she was relentlessly pursued.

*shrug*  if they want to spend that kind of money to be able to have waterfront homes, have at it.  Just don't ask the taxpayers to support it.

We will support it, though. Not the protection of those properties, but the bailouts once they're destroyed for good. That's what the government did after Katrina--they bought the flattened lots from landlords en masse, and then held them ever since so no idiots could try to build on them again.

The question is, how many major coastline bailouts will happen in quick succession before the fed says "no more," or at least lowers the compensation rate to the point that it might as well be nothing?

You have assumed government still has many moderates.  With extremism (ie Alex Jones, Trump, etc), intelligent thought is replaced by soundbites and extremist rhetoric - ie hate of government.   Trump demonstrates this by even claiming (every so often) that he would eliminate democracy.  (Then he backtracks.)

Contempt of intelligent thought even demonstrated during Katrina.  When refugees in the Convention Center and Superdome has no food or water for three days.  And Brownie even denied it on ABC News Nightline.  So many believed him rather then Rivera (and the other Fox News reporter) who said it was happening.  Even the Fox News anchorman denied it.

The USS Bataan sat 50 miles offshore unable to provide assistance.  Because George Jr refused to authorize it.  But again, facts that did not happen because extremism makes problem solving, or even defining a problem, impossible.  By simply denying it with a soundbite.

We have a severe shortage of moderates.  Coastline wipeouts, protected by government insurance and bailouts, is only a symptom.  Flood insurance so that people can build where nothing should be built.

Major strides have recently been made in understanding Parkinson's.  It is caused by common viruses such as herpes, influenza, hepatitis, etc.  The immune system learns to attack those.  But that response then sees nerve sheaths as similar.  Attacks them.

Genetic research is now ongoing to teach the immune system to not attack that protein structure.

In my day, rod and gun competencies would be proven well before stepping on a deck or climbing onto a roof. Kids today.
