/Getting chastised about sex stuff by Nicole Kidman in her camisole/underwear outfit from Eyes Wide Shut "Yeah, yeah, for sure, I hear you but I have to go rent a mask and robe thing. It's for sex-related reasons but not what you're talking about. It's way worse. But let's circle back."

Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.
