Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.
I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings.

The game of Canadian football is changing. With new rules implemented in September, the CFL will alter their game substantially. With an infrastructure built upon the pro league’s foundation, university football — and, by extension, UBC — may have to change with them.

[February 12th, 1986] The CFL governors will review eight rule changes next week, four of which alter the look of the game significantly. These proposals include moving kickoffs to the 35-yard line and reducing end zones to 20 yards.
