It comes as the Department of Defense is conducting a “compliance review” of learning materials in its school system serving military families worldwide to see if they adhere to two executive orders signed by President Donald Trump regarding “gender ideology” and “racial indoctrination,” according to the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), the division that oversees the schools.

“As part of the review, books potentially related to gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology topics as defined in the Executive Orders will be relocated to the professional staff collection for evaluation,” DoDEA spokesperson Will Griffin said in a statement provided to CNN Monday. “During this period, access will be limited to professional staff.”

So this book is about a child learning to love the skin she has, and they’re like "nope, that’s discriminatory equity ideology, can’t have that. Jesus fucking Christ.

Oddly enough, on my first development project I was paired with a “senior dev” who turned out just to be a guy in his 60s who had never actually coded before, so… just a senior.

I ended up doing 100% of the coding, but the guy managed to keep his job for a few months.

At least he had the good sense to hit the ENTER key before he passed.

Isn’t it crazy that basically every election at this point is basically like:

  • Option 1) We keep the status quo, nothing really changes.
  • Option 2) We burn it all down to the ground. Not to rebuild something better, but just for the hell of it.

This is a bit of the classic “both sides being the same” argument. The first article you linked even calls it out.

In the Fox case, Carlson was presenting his own narrative, not even one extrapolating from known facts.

Maddow was like “hey this journalist is working for Putin and writing for OAN. OAN is Russian propaganda.” When in reality, the journalist in question wrote for Sputnik News, which is affiliated with the Russian government. Granted it is a bit of a stretch to say all of OAN is Russian propaganda.

Carlson, on the other hand, just completely made up a story about Karen McDougal blackmailing Trump. A completely made up story.

So yeah, I wouldn’t go saying both sides are the same here.
