High & Low

Trigger Warning: Detailed discussion of multiple SA incidents. In October of 2024, an inebriated 20 year old woman (Jane Doe) was advertised as "free pussy" on a snapchat thread for the Chi Phi fraternity on Cornell's campus. According to her lawsuit, after reporting the incident and providing evidence, her case was never criminally investigated and she was never informed about outcomes beyond a separate Title IX process. This pod reviews that recent lawsuit against fraternity members, the bar who served her when underage, her sorority, and Cornell. Included are statements from her lawyer on how the case was mishandled, articles from campus papers about the school's failures, the history of widely reported sexual abuse at Cornell, and examples of different situations where the university didn't hesitate to expel students.“We don’t fight for our own happy endings. We fight to say you can’t. We fight for accountability. We fight to establish precedent. We fight because we pray we’ll be the last ones to feel this kind of pain.” - Chanel MillerIf you or someone you love been sexually assaulted or abused, you are not alone.

Spoiler alerts are provided but listen at your own risk.An enemies-to-lovers, dating trope romcom? Yes, please. Having recently read several of Ali Hazelwood's STEM romance series, and just now watching the adaptation of The Love Hypothesis, this pod presents a review of each. It's understood that a movie will never be able to fully capture the nuances and detail provided in a 300+ page book, so the goal here is to critique the film as a stand alone work before comparing it to the book's plotlines. Those comparisons can be subjective, but specific choices did alter the book in a way that fundamentally changed the characters. Whether those changes were good, bad, or inconsequential is up for debate. Then, a quick synopsis and review of two more books I read, Love on the Brain, and Not In Love. While several elements remain constant throughout Ali Hazelwood's books, each one presents different scenarios and struggles that her lovable characters must overcome in order to find happiness. Along the way, witty banter, stellar references, awkward moments, and lots of yearning make for a great read.All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Why is gas getting even more expensive? Why did Kashyap Patel remove beastiality from disqualifying FBI applicants? Why was a Russian oligarch at the recent wedding of the U.S. President's son? If a billionaire wanted us to start a war, how would they accomplish that? Who just had eight articles of impeachment filed against them, and why? How is Ed Sheeran a coward who capitulated to the Epstein class? Why were leaders of the legendary military publication 'Stars and Stripes' fired? This pod aims to address those questions, and more.Check your voter registration, find your polling location, or contact your representatives via USA.GOV, VOTE.GOV, and/or the "5 Calls" app.All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Twenty five years later, we're still learning more about what happened on 9/11 and the weeks after. Newly uncovered records change the narrative about New York City's lauded leaders and their motivations to, yet again, prioritize money over the good of the people who became heroes in the aftermath of tragedy. That tragic afternoon then became months, years, of toxic clean-up efforts, aided by people who went unknown and unnamed for decades. As families of those who were lost speak out against political indifference and societal bigotry, I remain in awe of their strength and resilience. With midterms coming up, we also see desperate moves by desperate men who once again squandered their opportunity to improve the country in favor of personal gain. Their choices resulted in the loss of relationships with most of our allies, like Canada. This pod aims to explain what led to that particular loss, and how it will affect our daily lives. Also, a shameless gas grift, why real estate developers aren't peace negotiators, the latest efforts to turn Washington D.C. into a shrine for idiocy, and why bribes for voting a specific way is both unconstitutional and not feasible. Check your voter registration, find your polling location, or contact your representatives via USA.GOV, VOTE.GOV, and/or the "5 Calls" app.All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

DISCLAIMER: Discussion of violence and murder involving small childrenAfter days of deadlocked deliberation, notes from the jury, the arrest of a spectator in a restricted zone, and an emergency filing, the first iteration of the Lindsay Clancy trial has come to an end. This pod summarizes the events of the last few days, presents lingering inconsistencies, and describes actions by the prosecution, defense, and Judge as they weathered a very unusual outcome in a very unusual case. With the next hearing set for September 29, 2026, the public must now wait to see if Plymouth County will stay fixated on charges of premeditated first degree murder or forge a different path in pursuit of justice for the Clancy children.This ongoing trial sparked important discussions about post partum care and mental health, please see resources listed below for support.Pregnant or just had a baby?

*DISCLAIMER: Discussion of violence and murder involving small children The last two days of the Lindsay Clancy trial have been pivotal. Days 14 and 15 presented data from her iPhone and wearable technology, information about her state of mind, and devastating testimony from her mother. All these factors answered key questions and presented conflicting information from what was previously shared in court. When reviewing her Apple Watch data, it reveals her heartrate monitoring that abruptly ends and consequently presents a timeline where she could have committed the crimes. Then, when considering her mental state as reflected in confirmed iPhone notes, confusing elements fall into place. That new timeline is described, along with the impact of new information, a rant about the prosecutors, and the lingering questions and caveats that remain. As devastating as that acknowledgment can be, finding out what happened is the entire point of following the trial. What's even clearer is her myriad, desperate attempts to get help and how gravely she was failed. This is an ongoing trial, currently in progress, that has sparked an important discussion about post partum care and mental health, please see resources listed below for support. Pregnant or just had a baby?

DISCLAIMER: Discussion of violence and murder involving small childrenWho is Lindsay Clancy and what is she being accused of doing? What has happened so far in court? What evidence has been presented to show that she snapped and harmed her children while her husband was out on an errand? Were any other possibilities investigated?These are the questions this pod aims to address. We begin with background of who Lindsay Clancy is, her work as a labor and delivery nurse, her marriage, the births of her children, her post partum struggles, and her life as a mom in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Then, we focus on learning about the night of January 24, 2023. Including what Lindsay's husband, Patrick, stated happened and his perspective on the months prior, as shared at trial and via interviews and published articles. From there, we look at what has been presented thus far regarding the crime scene, cyber analysis, cell data, Lindsay's injuries, her diary and notes, her doctors and prescriptions, and most importantly, the timeline of events.
