Dear Humans,
Trump is in a full out panic. He hasn’t posted in 24 hours. It’s time to make him the pedophile formerly known as president. If you could do that God would be so happy.

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university.
