The book is much more informative and useful than anything you've produced
OK, I poked the bear. Fine. Here are the first 4 pages of David Austin Walsh's book. This is, frankly, unreadable — and it is littered with grammatical errors. The rest of the book is just like this. Is it "DEI" to say publishing this doesn't help for a tenure-track role?

"kinetic strike" is a piece of military-bureaucratic legalese that ends up being a euphemism for "shooting" or "bombing." The modifier is unnecessary; "strike" is sufficient, you only need to qualify it for more metaphorical senses.

Have you ever been invited for dinner at a frugal wasps home? I recommend politely declining
@lionel_trolling oh, I disagree. She seems like a frugal WASP who thought expensive restaurants were inherently vulgar and became a stolid cook

Listen to a great interview of John McCormick by @lionel_trolling. Machiavelli is certainly the thinker for our times. On oligarchy, corruption, and mass popular trials. @MachiavelliNews 👇
Spoke to John P. McCormick about Machiavelli, democracy, populism, and yes, the Jeffrey Epstein emails https://t.co/soPuvA34ha
