The Week In Woke

Someone said that the Week in Woke always makes them angry before the weekend.

So how about some good Week In Woke news?

The CEO of Bolt fired his entire HR team, saying they were creating, not solving, problems.

Bolt CEO says he let go of his entire HR team for creating problems that didn't exist: 'Those problems disappeared when I let them go'
By Preston Fore
Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow says a culture of "entitlement" forced a sweeping reset--including cutting the HR team, he says, which was "creating problems that didn't exist."
"We got rid of our HR team."

For most executives, that's a sentence likely to provoke intense anxiety. But for Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow, it was unavoidable.
Speaking at Fortune's Workforce Innovation Summit on Tuesday, the 31-year-old defended sweeping workforce cuts at Bolt--including a recent layoff affecting roughly 30% of employees--as well as his decision to eliminate the company's HR team.
"We had an HR team, and that HR team was creating problems that didn't exist," Breslow told Fortune editorial director Kristin Stoller. "Those problems disappeared when I let them go."
The move may sound drastic, but Breslow said it was a necessary step to resurrect the struggling fintech company he first cofounded in 2014 in his Stanford dorm room.
...
Breslow returned as CEO in 2025, operating in what he calls "wartime."
"We're back in startup mode again, and those HR professionals have really important insights when you're in a peacetime and when you're at a larger company," he said, adding that Bolt has since brought on a smaller people operations team to oversee required training and serve as a resource for employees.
While Breslow didn't get into the specifics of the exact differences, he wrote on LinkedIn last year that, "HR is the wrong energy, format, and approach. People ops empowers managers, streamlines decision making, and keeps the company moving at lightning speed."
"We need a group of people who are very oriented around getting things done, and there is just a culture of not getting things done and complaining a lot," he added at the Fortune conference.
...

Bolt employees developed a sense of 'entitlement' and weren't working hard--so he let most of them go
Beyond HR, Breslow said Bolt had fallen into a broader productivity slump, with employees growing too comfortable during the company's boom years.
"There's a sense of entitlement that had festered across the company, and people who felt empowered, felt entitled-- but weren't actually working hard. And this is the number one thing that I had to battle," Breslo said. "Ultimately, most of those people just had to be let go."

A Muslim Brotherhood leader in NJ praises Tuq'r Qarlson and Sloppy Steve Bannon for "dividing MAGA" and counts them as allies, saying that the Muslim Brotherhood is making progress thanks to these Noted Conservatives.

I guess that's not really good news but it is always good to have the truth admitted.

I consider the Great Unmasking to be a kind of good news:

In case you're wondering about the current state of House Democrats: they just voted against establishing a Smithsonian American Women's History Museum.
Their objection? It didn't include a dedicated wing for trans history.
You almost have to admire the consistency. They managed to turn a women's museum into an argument about men.

Fox News:

House Democrats unanimously rebelled against legislation Thursday directing the construction of a new women's history museum on the National Mall.
Democrats sought to defeat the bill after Republicans limited the institution to biological women and excluded transgender individuals.
The measure came up short in a vote of 204-216 after a handful of conservative GOP lawmakers joined Democrats in tanking the legislation that would secure a site for the forthcoming Smithsonian American Women's History Museum on the grounds of the Mall.

The other good news is, another woke feminist boondoggle won't be funded. Good. One cheer for the trans extremists.

On the other hand, a lot of Republicans voted for this latest boondoggle to create taxpayer-funded anti-jobs for useless, skill-less leftwing women who would otherwise be baristas or low-paid whores.

Another detransitioner has extracted a huge settlement from her "doctors."

Camille Kiefel had a history of mental health diagnoses that included trauma, depression, suicidal ideation, and ADHD. Despite this, all it took were a few short telehealth sessions with therapists to get approval for a double mastectomy after Kiefel identified as 'nonbinary.'

Now Kiefel, 36, has settled a lawsuit against two providers who wrote referrals for that mastectomy. While the terms of the settlement are confidential, The New York Post said Kiefel will reportedly receive $3.5 million.

In the Middle Ages, if you were mentally ill, a "doctor" might prescribe drilling into your skull to let the demons escape.

How far we've come since those days of primitive "medicine," huh? You're suicidal? Have you considered chopping your tits off and isolating yourself from society as a cure?

Greg Gutfeld did not need the DNC autopsy report to pinpoint the exact reason for Kamala Harris' humiliating loss in 2024.
He said the trans issue became the thread that unraveled her ENTIRE campaign for one very important reason.
GUTFELD: "I'll tell you why."
"It diagnosed and it exploited the fatal flaw of cultural relativism."
"That's the unlocked door where any idea that is detached from truth could enter."
"It just so happened that it was trans but it didn't have to be. Trans women are women. That got in."
"But it could have been anything else."
"60-year-olds are now 40."
"A morbidly obese person is now fit."
"Horses are people."
"Cantaloupes could have rights."
"It's ALL the same. Any position where truth is surrendered to the prevailing wishes of the mob would become the order of the day and would compel you to obey."
"That's why it mattered."
"It was like the first strike against a 13 billion-year-old civilization--not civilization, planet."
"And it was a flex, it was a flex of the unravelers, the people who said we could do this, there is no such thing as truth anywhere."
Gutfeld is dead on.
The Democrats surrendered truth, and it cost them everything.

Pippa Bacca died in 2008:

To teach Israel how to make peace, Pippa Bacca, the leftist Italian, decided in 2004 to hitchhike from Turkey to Israel. She even learned basic Arabic, to prove that Islam is not a violent. Once she arrived in Turkey, she was gang-raped and murdered. She was 33 years old. pic.twitter.com/y5ntRDNj6G
— (((Donny)))🌵🇮🇱 🇸🇨 (@mlirh) May 21, 2026

The details are right:

After travelling together across Europe, Bacca and Moro split up just prior to their arrival in Istanbul, planning to meet up again in Beirut. Bacca was last seen on 31 March.[3] Her credit card was reportedly used at noon of that day.[4] On 12 April, her naked, strangled, and decomposing body was found in bushes near Gebze, about 60 km southeast of Istanbul.[1][2]
The man who led the police to her body, Murat Karataş,[3] was detained[2] and arrested after reportedly confessing to raping and strangling Bacca on 31 March after taking her in his Jeep from a gas station.[3] DNA testing suggested that Bacca had been raped by multiple people, not just Karataş.[28] The suspect said he was "under the influence of drugs and alcohol" and could not remember what happened.[29] He had been traced after he inserted his own SIM card into the victim's cellphone, which alerted police because he had a previous conviction for theft.[2] Bacca's own information was wiped from the mobile device, implicating, according to the lawyer for Bacca's family, at least one other accomplice because Karataş could not speak English and had left school after the third grade.[29]

The audio on this is very low but the gist is, someone fired on cops so the cops deliberately drove their car over the shooter. The sheriff here is completely unapologetic and lets people know, if you shoot at cops, we're going to run you down, and that's just the way it is, skel.

🚨 JUST IN: This California sheriff is being praised for showing NO REMORSE about running over an armed suspect who killed one of his officers

“We intentionally ran him over...don't shoot at cops."

“He GOT what he DESERVED.” 🔥

That’s how you do it. pic.twitter.com/UYYrplTd7o

Flashback:

A couple baited their lawn with a bicycle without a lock to lure thieves so they could
beat them with baseball bats.

Morbid Knowledge
@MorbidKnowledge
A couple in California spent five months intentionally luring bike thieves into their front yard with an unlocked bicycle, beating them with aluminum baseball bats, and posting the videos online.
Corey Cornutt, 25, and Savannah Grillot, 29, of Visalia were arrested in January 2020 on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy, in connection with at least four beatings between July and November 2019.
Police said the couple planted a bicycle in the front yard unsecured and waited.
Once someone tried to steal it, both rushed out and assaulted them with a baseball bat.
The videos they posted made the prosecution straightforward.
A neighbour told reporters there would be blood on the street the next day after each incident, and had warned the couple:
"Maybe it's not the best idea you're kind of bringing people into the neighbourhood that might not be here otherwise."
They ignored her and continued.
In each case the victims received various non-life-threatening injuries.
The couple documented their own crimes in enough detail to guarantee their arrest.

Prosecutors declined charging them, because the "witnesses" -- the would-be bike thieves that got the beatings they so desperately needed -- would not testify without immunity and had no credibility anyway.

I don't know what the charge would be. They did nothing illegal. You are allowed to leave your own bike on your own lawn without a lock. You don't have to live a life dictated to you by thieves.

And you are, I believe, still allowed to use non-lethal force to prevent a crime like theft, even in California.

So where is the crime? There is none. What they would attempt to criminalize is the "bad motives" for doing all this, but you can't have a crime with just a "bad motive." If you have a bad motive for doing something lawful -- that's not a crime.

Anyway, I enjoy this story and I would like it to become a trend.

This is Marjorie Taylor Greene’s replacement by the way 🔥 https://t.co/tKyVhytM8n

This started happening when I retired from the Navy. One of the last command inspections I participated in before my retirement had an inspection line item for "ergonomics". When the inspecting team arrived I got in their faces and asked exactly what the fvck is "ergonomics" and how do you inspect "ergonomics" for an entire command.

I never got a real answer but they did agree to remove that line item from the inspection list.

Imagine a normal expendable rocket launch. First stage cuts out, next stage separates and takes over. First stage just continues in a "ballistic arc" and crashes in the ocean downrange.

With a boostback, once the 2nd stage separates and continues, the booster then turns ass end forward, fires again and slows its horizontal velocity to return to the launch site.

They had to abort the boostback burn. They let the booster just go on, but did attempt a landing burn when it got down. I don't know how that went.

66 I'm glad this company found a better human resources team, but calling them "people operations" doesn't necessarily mean they'll do anything differently. "Human resources" itself began as a slightly friendlier-sounding take on the original phrase, "personnel management," from back when the job mostly involved hiring and paperwork.

You can’t (legally) set booby traps, apparently. I get it, I really do. But when working through the “system”, that no longer works, or isn’t allowed to work, eventually the old ways return.

She politicized intelligence. She dismantled critical agencies keeping Americans safe. She weaponized the IC to pursue baseless election fraud claims. And more.

We must ensure that her tenure — marked by a devotion to the person of the president and not to the security of the country — represents a terrible exception at DNI and not the new normal.

If you say so. My point is that if the extraordinarily expensive and extensive “legal system” is no longer working, or not allowed to work, as is obviously the case, then old methods will return.

There’s no way around this. Modern police departments are actually a blip in the human history timeline. Presumption of Innocence, right to face accuser, all that stuff is not the “norm”. When the Rule of Law breaks down, every offense is a Capital offense, and probably for your family too.

151 Kamala Harris lost because she has the intelligence and social graces of house plant. AND, she insisted on displaying these "attributes" on a regular basis.

A vast majority shouldn't be able to take in a Presidential candidate and think to themselves, "I'm more qualified than she is to be President of the United States."

BAIER: "An enormous change in U.S. immigration policy tonight. The Trump administration says any non-citizens in the country who have applied for a green card must leave the country indefinitely even if here legally and regardless of whether they have a spouse or children."
"Then they have to wait for their green card application to be processed outside of the country."

I was always able to kind of turn it off after a threshold had been reached.

The thing is, if the guys know you will do it the second they give you a good reason and not care one whit? They are FAR less likely to give you that reason.

The problem is, after a while and enough people (and I have fired 100s.) It starts to grind. People are stupid and they seem to come in like 6 varieties. Worse you start being able to tell what you are going to fire them for the day you meet them. And it's like you want to slap new guy and tell him not to make you do it a week, month or year down the line.

That is why I had to take a break and just get back to doing quality for a while. I am very good at iI. I am good at leadership too, but quality is soothing.

It's like they searched for the cutest girl in Kern County and hired her just so she could stand next to the sheriff at press conferences.

167 There’s no way around this. Modern police departments are actually a blip in the human history timeline. Presumption of Innocence, right to face accuser, all that stuff is not the “norm”. When the Rule of Law breaks down, every offense is a Capital offense, and probably for your family too.
Posted by: Common Tater at May 22, 2026 07:25 PM (3VVY1)

Agree. The police and courts are in place to protect wealthy people and their wealth. The poors are just flotsam and jetsam in our legal system and are treated as such, with the occasional justice handed out here and there, willy nilly. Heaven help you if you end up in court without resources, connections or are not a "protected" class.

I got good at firing GS employees as well. The problem I had is every time I fired one they applied for unemployment with the state and they almost always got it. I fired one lady for constantly not showing up to work, I had a paper trail a mile long but they gave her full unemployment because they said she had day care issues.

179 120 >>>"It's ALL the same. Any position where truth is surrendered to the prevailing wishes of the mob would become the order of the day and would compel you to obey."

That's objectively not true. It's the satanic subversion of basic human biology and dignity, a subversion primarily aimed at children. There's nothing scary about calling a horse a banana or compelling people to call rain gravity mist. There's a deeper nexus of evil that people like Gutfeld are blind to.
Posted by: Max Power at May 22, 2026 07:18 PM (q177U)

The Chinese literally have an epigram 指鹿為馬 (zhi lu wei ma) about calling a deer a horse, as shorthand for gaining political power from forcing people to say what they know is false. Theodore Dalrymple writes about how that is the purpose of communism, and also of political correctness ("communism writ small"). John C. Wright calls it the Unreality Principle.

Chinese history: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhao_Gao
Theodore Dalrymple: https://archive.is/WBcUY
John C. Wright: https://tinyurl.com/y9z4ur9h

Tranny madness is a particularly virulent example, but Gutfeld is correct that it is only one example of a more general principle of evil.

180 "There is a nonprofit industrial complex on the left tearing away at the fabric of our country"

The problem is not non-profit organizations, it's non-profit organizations who get "free" money from the government.
I don't care what they do, I care that they're doing it with tax money.
Grants are the issue. If the government wasn't handing out cash with no product or service rendered to the government -not some "deserving" third party - the ngo/industrial complex would not exist.
Kill grants, kill the problem.

182 It is very late to be asking this, but is it the federal government’s business to fund museums? I agree with Davy Crockett: it’s not yours to give. The fact that he stated this 200 years ago points to a real problem in government. They want to do something whether the constitution allows it or not. We would have saved ourselves a lot of misery if we had followed his advice.
