I always considered myself a well-rounded person. Then I got a PhD and became an expert on a topic that only 7 people understand. Four of them think I’m an idiot.

He got it from his mama. Bear 89, aka Backpack, is the 2026 Fat Bear Week champ. Turns out hefty runs in the family. His mom, Holly the Duchess of Density, won in 2019. She carried him on her back as a cub and helped him survive a serious leg injury. Now her little Backpack has a crown of his own. 👑

HR departments need to advise companies to stop hiring people who pledged frats. There's no reason to take on the liability risk of a person who has already demonstrated they are comfortable being part of an organization that at best tolerates & at worst facilitates SA & hazing.

why are we still allowing young men to form fraternities when they’ve proven every year they can’t handle being in community with eachother without killing someone or raping someone…
