Where There's Woke

Lydia watched the DOGE interview on Fox News so the rest of us didn't have to. In it, Musk and his posse make some "shocking" claims about the fraud and waste they're identifying in the federal government. Lydia gives us a deep dive debunk to call out the falsehoods, the misleading statements, and the straight propaganda this "charm offensive" spewed on national television. Part 1 of 2.

Representative Jasmine Crockett made an offensive joke about Governor Abbott's disability. The right pretended to care all of a sudden, and it seems that much of the left has decided they don't care. What should we, the woke police, think about this? How should we react? What should we expect from Democrats and each other?

For like... 20 minutes... Megyn Kelly told an upside down world version of the Lively/Baldoni feud. There's a reason conservatives are very interested in this story, and I'll give you a hint it rhymes with pisogyny.

We complete our Blake Lively Hatestorm Debunk by looking at some fun comparisons. What happens when celebrities who are men happen to have a bad interview, or have a damning tape released of their bad behavior? How does it stack up to a woman who said, "Congratulations on your little bump!" Equal crime, equal time? I think you know the answer.

Hey folks, big announcement!!! Our podcast, Gavel Gavel, is now available to the public! No longer is it only available on Patreon! This series on GG, we'll be covering the Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni legal battle. It is so fascinating for a million reasons. But this is a unique and standalone WTW episode, don't worry! The Blake Lively hatestorm that happened (Lydia will catch you up if you're not familiar) was absolute nonsense. It requires a debunk, just as any anti-woke scare story does. And debunk it, we shall!

To this administration and this moment. Today we discuss how Harmeet Dhillon plans to not just ruin the Civil Rights Division of the DoJ, but to actively point it in reverse. Lydia breaks it down for us, and along the way we learn about so many things we didn't appreciate enough while we had them.

• DOJ's Fulton County Jail Investigation, November 2024

• Dhillon's piece in Hillsdale College's Imprimis Publication, August 2022

That's right, the woke are coming for YOUR Dungeons and Dragons! Look behind you, they're already here! These new woke rules are ruining the game and are actually the racists if you really think about it. Or maybe not and it's the same story of every fake woke controversy? We're not sure because we aren't NERDS*, so we invited an actual expert who is a huge nerd and host of an amazing DnD podcast, Eli Bosnick. Check out DnD Minus wherever podcasts are sold! Patrons get a very extended outtakes section!

This is the best. It's just the best. Elon Musk is so pathetic that he tried to fake being a world class gamer, only to completely humiliate himself when he live-streamed himself gaming. Look, it's a dark day for our country as Trump is inaugurated, so treat yourself to something nice. A DOUBLE episode on Elon's catastrophic and very public failure, and with special guest Noah Lugeons!

Emily Sturge of Campus Reform is on the case, folks. Under her watch, the National Institute of Health will never misspend another dollar ever again. Lydia debunks the outrage from the Campus Reform article outlining 10 "outrageous" scientific inquiries funded with taxpayer money that the Right wants DOGE to "investigate."

This episode also could be called "Jerry Coyne is wrong and a liar." The FFRF published Jerry Coyne's anti-trans lies and then had to apologize. I was going to talk about that and the nature of inadequate apologies, but then I saw one of the claims in Coyne's piece and I HAD to debunk it. The fact that it comes from the UN shows how pernicious and extensive the anti-trans misinformation has become. Read this excellent and heartbreaking piece on Hailey Davidson.
