Summary
The Trump administration is facing backlash after reports that the Defense Department flagged over 26,000 images for deletion due to alleged connections to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Among them are photos of trailblazing pilots, including the Tuskegee Airmen and Col. Jeannie Leavitt.
Most controversially, an image of the WWII aircraft Enola Gay was flagged, seemingly because its name includes the word “gay.”
The revelation has sparked mockery online, with critics calling this “the STUPIDEST administration in American history.”
The Enola Gay hangs in the Udvar Hazy branch of the Smithsonian, and seeing it in person is the only time I’ve ever been overwhelmed by an artifact. I was grateful that there was a bench right there to sit on, and it occurred to me that probably wasn’t a random placement.
Elon’s crotch gremlin tech kiddies probably think the twin towers were a ride at six flags…
Whole lot of damage can be done by stupid people, especially if they are young and given a permission structure to break shit. For reference, see the Nazi Youth, the Red Guards, etc…
Not sure who is actually heading this up, but I would not be surprised if it was handed off to some eager beaver teenagers because a whole lot of idiots think that kids understand tech better than others (which is of course just very stupid in itself, but I suspect it’s an Inception of idiocy with this bunch, so if they adopted that counterfactual view, too, it would not be surprising).
Stupid people cause more evil than evil people
Same link without the tracker ;)
Yeah it’s really disturbing how many people seem to be ignoring or not aware of that part
The Enola Gay crew members are rolling in their graves. Krasnov and his crew of thugs are bunch of fucking morons.
“SLAMMED” I say! “SLAMMED!”
What is this open mic night? FFS.

I know I’m late to stopping the damage that’s already occurred, but I have plenty of hard disk space on my server. Anybody know where I can download a backup of these sites so we have another copy in the world? Even better, if I could mirror a backup from before the Fourth Reich moved in.
Not to argue with the article headline, but the stupidest line was crossed long ago. The administration is just padding their stupidity score at this point.
So, how many in the government are called Gaylord? Will they be detained and forced to give up their name? Mandatory change to Petey?
I guess there’s also a Gaylord street and monument here and there?
trump also railed about millions of dollars of research money being spent on making mice transgender, because he (and his minions) don’t understand what “transgenic mice” are.
My 12 year old overheard me making fun of “trump has no clue what transgenic means cause he barely has a 3rd grade education” and my son said asked why the ninja turtles would be bad. And you know what, he’s essentially correct.
A 12 year old has a better concept of what transgenic means than the President Dumbfuck Shitstain.
