PoliSci Sucks
Political Science is a detrimental academic discipline. Many reasons why, so let’s start cataloging the ways. Maybe we can together destroy PoliSci and make every good person who has a PoliSci degree feel ashamed and want desperately to go replace … Continue reading

Ukrainian Participation at D-Day Memorial?
Haven’t said anything recently about the stupid Ukraine war. So much moving so fast. Let’s start with Macron. The Frenchies are now all about allowing Ukraine to fire ‘western’ weapons into Russia? They even want to send more ‘western’ military … Continue reading

We decided to binge-watch the television series “Patriot.” The show introduced, as one of its unifying themes, a thing called the ‘Vantasner Danger Meridian.’ After not finding enough about it on plain old Google, I figured I’d talk it up with ChatPGT-4. … Continue reading
