For anyone wondering why it took them so long to rescind the degree, it happened in December 2022.
when do honorary degrees ever matter
the reference is to adolph hitler being kicked out of art school
I get it, just wanted to voice my opinion ;)
When the university wants to brag
Ronald Reagan?Donald Trump? The actor!?
Honestly, if a Black US man convinced the racist Nazis in his country to go about killing in his name, that would absolutely impressive. They’d have to turn off even more parts of their brain to be controlled by a black man and at the same time hate and love him.
No it wouldn’t, he would be the butt of that joke, not controlling anyone
who would he even genocide? could be anyone
Good taste
Spit my drink
This post is like 2 years old. How is it this grainy???
Some Lemmy instances have very low file size cutoffs for image uploads. I feel that the natural loss of pixels that happens everywhere over time is acellerated here.
I’m more inclined to think it was shared, reshared, and reencoded to hell and back.
Also,
there’s one potato that all social media sites pass around to filter uploads
If you stick two ends of a wire in a potato it can process jpeg.
What does Mos Def think of all this?
Where is Ja?!
what the hell is an honorary degree
Degree given to someone who wasn’t a student. These are given all the time to singers, actors, writers etc.
Denzel Washington, for example, has honorary doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania.
Jeremy Clarkson got an honorary doctorate in engineering from Brunel University. He can barely explain how a differential works.
It’s the most honorary degree… in the world!
It’s a degree awarded by institutions to outstanding figures for achievements in a certain field.
Am I not getting something? Why is it a bad idea or do I need the /s, lol
kanye’s personal hero, hitler, got kicked out of art school
Thank you! Insert “duh” meme.
Yeah I didn’t make the connection until I read a comment reply. Dropping out of art school is a bit different than have an honorary degree rescinded.
