My Cardio Dance class yesterday was Bad Bunny themed - everybody was shaking in, from the 20-somethings to the 75 year old woman who is my role model.

Those of you who are trying to back up your colleagues and friends who are perverts, supporters of human trafficking, and/or too stupid to have known what was happening can just shut up now.

Every single one of these people who was involved with Epstein after the 2007 FL case should be publicly hung out to dry. Every university that signed off on any donations should investigate and fire the teams that didn't do their diligence. That includes my alma mater MIT.

FIRST, of the international robotics competitions, has removed Dean Kamen from their Board after the latest dump of Epstein files makes it clear his was not a "limited" relationship as he claimed.

Thank goodness they acted on this. I am a coach for FTC.
