the quintessence of clay-footed STEM.
- chrisdhoover 7y agoYet here on HN we find an article by Camila Paglia on Gore Vidal. Very interesting to see literati here. Is is a shame not to see more discussion. Oh well on to the next google AMP sux post
- tomcam 7y agoIt is apparent to me that someone at HN is putting a thumb on the scale, probably dang, who as I recall has a degree in the liberal arts. I am totally fine with these bonus posts, many of which I ignore. I really love the curation of Hacker News.
