    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      Pfffft no. Wishful thinking. What's the reason to change? Their funding isn't.

        tl;dr ,much like almost all of my university courses.

        I'd have welcomed some discussions of gender or some such back then. All I got was a bunch of maths, interspersed with a bunch of physics. As a way of light relief I had a course on computer programming.

        Not so much wonk, more wank. And not in a good way.

        I was only joking

          That's how fucking bad our schools are.

          Please love yourself.
