Talk about gender ideology. By saying “our gender,” Trump suggests that gender can be a characteristic of a group as well as of an individual. Quite the radical idea.

If you’ve paid attention to how UM has conducted itself throughout this project, and if you sincerely believe that it will account for the public interest when developing this project, then I have doubts about your judgment.

It’s hard for me to avoid the conclusion that your naïveté about UM is a cynical performance designed to beguile your Ann Arbor constituents about your bona fides. Those of us who will actually have to live with this nightmare are not so easily fooled.

At least Amazon is subject to municipal regulation and is constrained to some extent by its profit motive. UM and LANL aren’t constrained by either.

Except for the glorious NBA Cup, this season’s games only have connotations, not implications

Peqod-as-polycule works with the sperm-squeezing scene but Ishmael seems be gesturing at monogamy when he refers to himself and Queequeg as “a cozy, loving pair.”
