Instead of giving his full attention to the war against Iran, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth decided to take some time out to start a new war against the universities of America:

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" -- Isaac Asimov, 1980

The people who most often presume to lecture me about racism are those who have absolutely no idea what it REALLY means to be a target and victim of it: White people.
To be Black in America is a daily exercise in remaining sane, patient, kind, and in repressing occasional temptations to go “Nat Turner” on ignorant, hateful people.

Hey, Trump!
I think the government should start a university educate your MAGA base on everything from the Bible’s fiction… to science’s answers… to history’s lessons… to the Constitution’s contents. It’ll be a LIBERAL arts school, and the Deplorable demographic will know that it’s especially for them, because I’m naming it “FUCK U.”

Cet article du site Le Monde informatique est une grosse charge contre le modèle même de #Mastodon.
Avec des affirmations fausses comme : "Les défenseurs de Mastodon ont beau vouloir faire du réseau social un « Twitter sans #ElonMusk », il n'en est rien."
Finalement, les arguments sont résumés par la citation en conclusion : "Nous ne voulons pas réfléchir à la technologie qui sous-tend nos conversations. Nous voulons juste parler. Ou tweeter."
