Confirmed: Andy Ogles does not like big booty Latinas. 
A redditor called the office of Ogles to press him on his statement that Bad Bunny's halftime show was "gay porn" [spoiler: it was not]. The redditor also asked the staffer if Andy Ogles doesn't like big booty Latinas. "The staffer said he does not."

Sometimes when life gets scary I check the Nashville Reddit and it never fails to make me laugh.
Hard hitting citizen journalism in action.

Someone should have told this person to NOT squirt lighter fluid on an already burning fire. There is a risk of the fire traveling back up into the bottle with the air when you stop squeezing. It can explode the bottle in your hand.

Robert F Kennedy Jr admits he used to 'snort cocaine off toilet seats' The US health secretary made the confession to podcaster Theo Von during an episode of his show, This Past Weekend, as he opened up about his past drug use.

"I'm not scared of a germ... I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats."
This is a direct quote from the secretary of Health and Human Services. I lack words to describe how unhinged it is to have this person dictating healthcare policy for 350 million people.

no, it simply isnt.
People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.

Phenomenal students.
Get these colleagues out, and make room for new thinkers who don't engage with people like Epstein.

I go all over the country talking about schools, democracy, and right-wing attacks on both.

It’s really, really important in the policy space to talk about what we’re for, not just what we’re against.

This is the U Penn donor who helped push the President out, pushed to eliminate arts & science offerings, and drafted Trumps "compact" with universities.
People like Rowan repeatedly claimed the moral high ground to impose their agenda on students and faculty.

Epstein files mention Francine LeFrak, names of Barnard trustees’ families and alumni The Barnard Bulletin found that the Department of Justice’s Epstein Library contains multiple mentions of prominent Barnard College affiliates, including the LeFrak and Blankfein families.

Missed this one, what with deluge of ways Epstein sought out power in academia. It's so important to do some forensic accounting when it comes to scholars, students, and admin of higher ed. We protect higher ed by rooting out the abuses ourselves.
