This is what happens when stupid people decide that words can be bad.
Pete Hegseth, Trump's DUI hire, and his Dept of Defense will ban references to the Enola Gay, the WWII bomber that carried the nuclear bomb to Hiroshima.
It was named after the pilot's mother, not the sexual preference.

References to a World War II Medal of Honor recipient, the Enola Gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and women and minorities are among the tens of thousands of photos and online posts marked for deletion as the Defense Department works to purge diversity, equity and inclusion content. That's according to a database obtained by The Associated Press and confirmed by U.S. officials. It includes more than 26,000 images that have been flagged for removal across every military branch. But the eventual total could be much higher when considering social media pages and other websites that are also being culled for DEI content.
"This is a confession. I love daytime TV. I smoke, even though I officially gave up years ago. I’m often late, and usually lie about why. And sometimes I feel good when others feel bad.
"The Japanese have a saying: “The misfortunes of others taste like honey.” […] In Hebrew enjoying other people’s catastrophes is 'simcha la‑ed'."

FYI Informed consent is an essential component of health care.
If you do NOT speak French and/or are NOT otherwise fluent in French, you cannot give informed consent in French. FULL STOP.

Asking people to calm down protects privilege – and silences people who are hurting.

“Calm down so we can discuss this like adults.” Ever said something like this in a conversation on oppression? Tone policing is no way to get justice, and this comic will help you understand exactly why.
I've been so disgusted by the language police and the English restrictions for years. I'm about ready to say "If Quebecers cannot obtain government services in English on demand, then the federal government won't offer them in French either".
I was born in Quebec, and I probably couldn't get an English "permit".
