Oberlin College President Carmen Twillie Ambar has staked out an aggressive posture in reaction to the massive $11 million compensatory and $33 million punitive damage verdicts awarded Gibson's Bakery and its owners against Oberlin College and its Dean of Students, Meredith Raimondo.

Sometimes there are incredible stories that come out, that when you see them you think, "Did that person really say that?"

Toy Story 4: Pixar’s Unnecessary Sequel Is Worth the Watch, Heartbreaking Send-off and All
on June 21, 2019
9 Comments
I felt nothing going into the newest Pixar film Toy Story 4. Truthfully my reaction to Pixar films has been exceptionally cold since Toy Story 3 was released nearly a decade ago. Other than the exceptionally well done Inside Out and the beautifully well made if somewhat forgettable Coco their output just hasn't been up to snuff. Brave was basically fine for an alternative take on the Disney princess archetype a la Pixar's brand of progressivism. Monster's U, Finding Dory and Cars 3 are irrelevant and regrettably, even The Incredibles 2 is barely memorable after only a year.
