An attempted definition of “wokeness” that is at least good enough to be wrong 👇 It’s worth comparing with definitions where wokeness is seen as a more positive phenomena. Maybe wokeness *could* have “construct validity” but it’s also a weapon in a culture war. What follows? https://t.co/lhY0lx32ev Quoted tweet from @aaronsibarium: Wokeness is a political and social movement characterized by the following: -A strong and in practice unrebuttable presumption that certain salient group disparities are due entirely to oppression. -A willingness to jettison longstanding legal, political, and social norms in… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Almost home after #4ncl. Both my games were draws and I lost rating points, but there was plenty of quiet exhilaration and geometric delight. Also breakfasts, swimming and a tunnel mural (below). My team @WhiteRoseChess won both matches so roll on final weekend in May. #chess

“This hot food before me, which had once been a symbol of professional on-the-road freedom, now represented, by my rough calculation, my *ninety-fifth* hotel breakfast in this particular chess event.” #4NCL

@BBCJamesCook Ok, fair enough, I caught up with you. But please compare the engagement of the two tweets you shared. The first is a story of decline with apparent evidence. The second is offered as mere data. The first one is *much* more widely shared and becomes the prevailing narrative…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

I don’t really have a dog in this fight, but if you show 2014-2019 and also compare the SNP with other parties you get a fuller picture. I’d say a fairer way to tell the story is one of extraordinary growth followed by partial consolidation rather than “decline”. https://t.co/LxnVsApAbv Quoted tweet from @BBCJamesCook: How the decline in SNP membership has played out… Year end 2019 — 125,691 Year end 2020 — 105,393 Year end 2021 — 103,884 Year end 2022 — 82,598 15 February 2023 — 72,186
