In August the Energy Dept sent a mass still interested letter to FOIA requesters, basically making it much easier to close out a bunch of old requests.
Obviously I filled a FOIA request about it.
Energy just told me I have 3 days to narrow my request or they are closing it.
Lolol uh no.

been reading a lot of medieval English history recently and it's instructive as to why the Anglo political tradition evolved away from monarchy. every 4th king or so would turn out to be a murderous lunatic, people got sick of it
