  2. Hmmm. So Yahoo’s reporting on this story has morphed CNN’s DEI (equity) into “equality”. It’s in there at least 3 times, so it’s not a type-o.

She had a hard time explaining why it was hitting her so emotionally. She chalked it up to “cognitive dissidents”. It was quite wonderful, actually. Now I have to come up with a scenario in which I can correctly use the term. Any ideas?

    Yes, I was hoping it would be corrected to cognitive dissonance, but the lady said dissidents.
    Though I am a bit of a grammar Nazi, I didn’t mind, because the woman was so sincere.

  4. Graceia, Agreed!

    I can’t wait to see how the fascist, history-revisionists explain how the black vote got mysteriously “switched” in 2024 to the Republican party.
