Robert F. Kenney got into Harvard by submitting an application that was a single page long and consisted entirely of his name. Here's why it's time to end DEI.

good thing we organized all those protests against voting for harris.

i liked it quite a bit.

i'm glad you posted again so i don't have to worry about those being your last words.

i guess we can't delete comments here? or even see photos on our camera roll very well? or not see the ones we deleted already? grrrrr...
