Competitive Scrabble players have accused games company Mattel of virtue signalling after banning a host of terms from the official score list.
More than 400 terms were banned in a bid to make the game more inclusive.
The ban targets slurs on race, sexuality and gender, making them no longer acceptable in the game’s official scoring dictionary.
How much wokeness can its clientele sip and swallow before it all tastes over-roasted?
Founded in 1971 in Seattle, Washington, Starbucks Corporation has become a beverage and lifestyle behemoth, aspiring to bring the cozy, old-world coffeehouses of Vienna to the United States and elsewhere — and to be woke in the process. According to its most recent 10-K filing for the Securities Exchange Commission and other company sources, Starbucks has nearly 34,000 stores and 380,000 employees in 80 countries. About two-thirds of its workforce is in the U.S. For the fiscal year ending October 3, 2021, the company recorded net revenue of almost $30 billion.
The NFL has signed its first biological male who identifies as transgender to be part of the women’s cheerleading squad for the Carolina Topcats. Justine Lindsay, 29, announced the news that Lindsay would be joining the women’s squad.
Lindsay announced the news in March via Instagram with “Cats Out the Bag you are looking at the newest member of the Carolina Panthers TopCats Cheerleader’s as the first Transgender female.”
While the organization did not directly address what those recent actions were, some speculated that it could be connected to Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott’s appearance as the “honorary” starter for the May 22 All-Star Race at Texas Motor Speedway.
Star Wars was slammed over a woke tweet telling critics of its newest show ‘don’t be racist,’ even though the Disney-owned franchise previously shrunk black star John Boyega’s photo on a movie poster to appease Chinese audiences.
The tweet came in response to a slew of Instagram stories Moses Ingram – who plays Reva Sevander, aka the Third Sister, in the franchise’s new miniseries Obi-Wan Kenobi – posted revealing seemingly racist remarks sent to her by Star Wars fans.
The franchise, rushing to her defense, took to Twitter early Tuesday saying: ‘We are proud to welcome Moses Ingram to the Star Wars family and excited for Reva’s story to unfold. If anyone intends to make her feel in any way unwelcome, we have only one thing to say: we resist.’

Elon Musk lashed out on Twitter after Tesla was removed from a widely-followed sustainability index on Wednesday over concerns about the company’s lack of low carbon strategy, allegations of workplace racism and Autopilot deaths.
Tweeting into the wee hours of Thursday, Musk responded to well-known tech investor Cathie Wood, who called Tesla’s removal from the S&P 500 ESG Index ‘ridiculous’, adding: ‘Not worthy of any other response.’

Netflix has started handing out pink slips. The 200,000 subscribers the company lost in the first quarter isn’t very significant but the two million it expects to lose in the 2nd quarter is a real problem. In addition to cutting staff, the streaming giant is also trimming some projects. Variety reports a few of those were projects connected to Ibram Kendi.
Meghan, the content memo, now Kendi, looks like Netflix is waking up.
In a new poll, far-left NBC News buried a devastating find about the shameless child grooming degenerates at Disney.
Rather than report out Disney’s favorability crash, NBC ignored it altogether.
