The Ivy League Is Decadent and Depraved

For a decade or so now, I’ve been using that headline — a literary allusion to the famous 1970 article in which Hunter S. Thompson pioneered “Gonzo journalism” — in posts about elite academia.

That is a 200-gram firework “cake,” a multi-shot repeater that shoots 20 aerial bursts in about 24 seconds. We just ordered a case of 18 of those — $154.90 wholesale, but with the 25% Early Bird discount, we paid just $116.18 to add 360 shots into our Fourth of July finale. After publishing the “Big […]
