The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.

So apparently the AP Human Geography site is culling some of its "daily videos" for class use. A teacher tells me the videos on redlining and white flight are gone. In the screenshot below, you can see the Daily Videos start with no. 2 (no. 1 on this page was redlining, and it's gone now).

The US government’s first scientific agency focused on ocean science, and its discoveries were vital in our emergence as an economic superpower. The Trump administration is trying to destroy NOAA, its successor. Learn the history here 🧪🦑🌎🐠 www.southernfriedscience.com/noaa-carries...

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Last night in a chat group called Everyday Patriarchy Bullsh*t, I read a comment on how Zelenskyy at the White House was basically treated like a woman: patronized, arrogantly -splained to, asked about clothes, given abusive advice to ‘know his place’, expected to submit and punished when he refused

Theoretical physicist who also does research in humanities using critical theories. It’s interesting how when it comes down to it, no one is mad at quantum field theory being confusing — for physicists too — but they’re mad at humanists for also having analytic frameworks that take time to learn.
