But that wasn’t all. Yesterday’s news delivered another delicious moment of corporate de-wokening.
Google giveth, and Google taketh away. The search giant’s unavoidable, pre-programmed calendar events have been pared back to the minimum, now reduced to some default list supplied by a Norweigan holiday-tracking contractor. I did not make that up.
For example, Google deleted “Indigenous People’s Month,”
just like the buffalo, but fortunately, and soothing widespread progressive worries, the Indians were not
literally erased. The casinos are still there. Google also clicked the little minus button next to June’s “LGBTQ+ Pride Month.” Hopefully, that one
will erase the NSFW parades. Keep it in the leather festival, gents. And the little colored blocks labeled “Black History Month” and “Women’s History Month” have both
passed into history, just like the civil rights era.
Wokeness sought to change the times and seasons, to suit its insatiable demand for universal virtue-signaling compliance.
Good morning! It’s Polynesian-Nigerian Remembrance Week! The irony is Gulf-of-America deep: the howls of fury from progressives about Google’s ‘remembrance’ tweaks show how rice-paper thin these made-up holidays were to start with, as if historical recognition somehow requires a Google notification.
Maoist cultural mandates can demand performance, but they can’t create reality.
Google’s calendar concession might be the smallest win in the culture wars, but it symbolizes a larger restoration of sanity. Sayonara, little colored blocks of carefully curated woke culture, we won’t miss you. We probably won’t even notice you’re gone.
Gulf of Mexico fades into history; Google de-wokes times and seasons; libs liken NIH to Third Reich; analysis of the slew of lefty legal injunctions against DOGE; performative slurping is over; more.
