Every time i check on what the Trump administration is doing it’s always the most cartoon villain shit. Open up national monuments to oil drilling, sure. Remove protections against overfishing. Loosen restrictions that stopped corporations from polluting the air with heavy metals? Why not?

“Vladimir, STOP!! This isn’t you, Vlad, come on, you can still change! 🥺🥺”
Pathetic.

Putin isn't even on Truth Social but it'll get back to him, and he will just laugh his ass off. Just like the rest of the world is laughing at us right now.

At my university there’s a notoriously crazy right-wing professor (think antivax, transphobic, trump supporter even though he’s from Northern Ireland) and he’s teaching my course on control of infectious diseases, ran a poll….

Aaand done! Did I pass? Who knows! One of the students fucked with the class data set I was supposed to use for some of the questions so I was praying the instruction videos were accurate
I love finding out at 11:27 PM that my final exam for a class is tomorrow at 9 AM and I have not studied at all🫠
I really should have known better— it’s online, open notes, but also data analysis
