&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman&amp;rsquo;s right to choose is very important, I think that &amp;ldquo;well regulated militia&amp;rdquo; means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn&amp;rsquo;t care less if you decided to dress up in the &amp;ldquo;wrong&amp;rdquo; clothes or decided you&amp;rsquo;d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with.
And dammit, if that all makes me &amp;ldquo;woke&amp;rdquo;, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race.&lt;/p&gt;</description><content:encoded> <![CDATA[<p>Linus Torvalds (Mastodon):</p>
