"#1 that wasn't the issue presented. Threatening universities Federal funding unless they change their hiring and policies to comport with what the Executive Branch wants is a truly abhorrent restriction of speech. Same with threatening the law firms for their speech to extort pro-bono services from them. Oh yeah and deporting people based on beliefs, AKA thought crimes. "

Had to read that twice before I realized you weren't talking about Biden and DEI.

I have a cousin who compiled a couple of papers when he was a teen.

101 uses for a dead puppy.

101 uses for a dead cat.

I thought both were very funny. He has an ---- advanced sense of humor and a feel for the idiom.

But I know this will affect him, because he has been involved with that community his whole life (he might be 30 now, have to check).
 
I feel for him, a friend of his died.

His papers are still damn funny though. I wonder if he ever got around to parrots....

"The reporters who came to the press conference in the office of the John Galt Line were young men who had been trained to think that their job consisted of concealing from the world the nature of its events. It was their daily duty to serve as audience for some public-figure who made utterances about the public good, in phrases carefully chosen to convey no meaning. It was their daily job to sling words together in any combination they pleased, so long as the words did not fall into a sequence saying something specific. " ~

Tried that way and liked it for most of my life. Works really well if you can do it in depth.

Of course, then comes along something like the Holiday Farm Fire - https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/maps/7170/

Multiple copies, distributed over 6 places around 40 square miles. A really nice hard copy library.
Not complaining mind you, catastrophic means that after all. There are no perfect solutions.

Ask me sometime about my video of what happens to a ToughBook when it meets a forest fire head on.
