You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Lots to clean up obviously with what seems like a brand new team but really impressed with athleticism and effort. Hopefully the strong shooting keeps going! iuwbb

I know #IU football is really fun (for the first time in my adult life) and it's really easy to feel good about IU. I am begging alumni to get involved and help make a difference in what is happening there.

#IU is now the worst-ranked public univesity in the nation for freedom of speech.
Free speech foundation ranks IU as worst public college
Indiana University sank to near the bottom of The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression College Free Speech Rankings this year.

Next time you find yourself in a discussion about the differences between liberals, leftists, democratic socialists, moderates, progressives, and never trumpers, remember: billionaires don't give a fuck. We're all the same to them: human capitol stock. And they love it when we fight each other.

No matter how many times IU does this to a good team I will never get used to it. So many years of blowing leads and just hoping for six wins. Just incredible feeling for this long time fan. #iufb

What the Dem party doesn’t understand is that the election in NYC is a test for the 26 midterms.

Young people are testing to see if they will ever be allowed to assert their priorities over the priorities of monied interests who buy elections like Bloomberg, and old school patrons like Cuomo.
