MSU's Art Museum Has a Woke Dungeon

1 week ago | enjoyer.com | Bobby Mars

East Lansing — The Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University is always free and open to all—or so says the slogan on their website. There’s an old saying though, and it bears remembering here: If something is free, you’re the product. The Broad is no exception, with exhibitions promoting shallow identity politics and a basement gallery doubling as a dungeon for wokedom. The shining, angular metal edifice of the Broad was designed by the famed Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid.

Michigan is the nation’s leading producer of tart cherries. The blossoms of this humble fruit are now budding across the state. Tart cherries aren’t native to Michigan, but the sandy soil in the western part of the state is their ideal growing environment. They prosper there, with Michigan’s crop making up 75% of domestic tart cherry production. Cherry orchards of all varieties dot the West Michigan landscape.

The University of Michigan Law School, ranked No. 8 in the country, caused a bit of a stir in the law school admissions world this week with their newest accepted student.

She’s a self-professed influencer, but more properly, she’s an erotic model and a college student at Carnegie Mellon.
Chemtrails Are Probably Something to Worry About

State Rep. Josh Shriver recently introduced a bill to ban chemtrails in the state of Michigan. Chemtrails are a controversial topic, and he was quickly denounced by many in the media as a conspiracy theorist peddling unfounded accusations. Here’s the thing about chemtrails, and “conspiracy theories” in general—they may or may not be real, but they stem from an institutional distrust that is completely legitimate. Theories about chemtrails are over a decade old.
When Did Canada Stop Being Canadian?

I’ve spent most of my life in Michigan, the state I keep ending up in, and Western New York, where I grew up. Since I first left to attend U-M in 2010, I’ve traveled between Michigan and my little hometown near Buffalo dozens of times, always crossing the abyssal plain of Southern Ontario to save a few hours (and to avoid Ohio). Through these trips, I’ve watched that part of Canada change and develop over time. Canada isn’t Canadian anymore. It’s been replaced.

It opens with this: “Every day I get to wake up in the best place on earth, Holland, Michigan.”Residents were ecstatic when the film was announced.
We Can't End DEI Without Coming After the Endowments

1 month ago | enjoyer.com | Bobby Mars

President Trump declared war on DEI almost immediately upon taking office, with a slew of executive orders classifying DEI programs as illegal discrimination. This was a broadside against higher education, a declaration of war against decades of leftward ideological creep in American academia. Sadly, it won’t be enough to make a difference long term. It’s time to discuss seizing the university endowments. It’s time to consider a total moratorium on federal student aid.
Dating Apps Are the Worst Way to Find Love

A Hinge date in West Michigan—we met for drinks at a fancy rooftop bar in downtown Grand Rapids. She, a blonde business executive, a bonafide girlboss. I, a young professor, living in a new town far from home. She ordered an espresso martini, I ordered a Manhattan. We made small talk for half an hour and ordered a second round. It went down fast. I paid the $80 tab, and we left. We hugged in the lobby and said we had fun.
The Worst Night of the Year Is Upon Us

2 months ago | enjoyer.com | Bobby Mars

Once again, we head into the worst weekend of the year. The night we lose an hour to the madness of Daylight Saving Time. The clock shifts an hour ahead and leaves the entire country sleep deprived and addled for the next week as our circadian rhythms struggle to acclimate. Does anyone like waking up an hour earlier? Who still believes in this farce? President Donald Trump sure doesn’t. He campaigned on ending Daylight Saving Time. Well, he posted about stopping it once, at least.
Small-Town Michigan Was Dying, Then the Millennials Moved in

2 months ago | enjoyer.com | Bobby Mars

DeWitt — Can you feel it? The wind is different in small-town Michigan these days. Tamped down by new small-scale high rises, three-story apartment buildings with shops on the ground floor. The scent of fresh pour-over coffee hangs in the air. Wine bars, fine dining, bakeries, and dessert shops, all a quarter of a mile away from cow pastures. Small-town Michigan is changing, as the hipster tastes of a decade ago filter out across the Midwest. Mostly for the better, though sometimes for the worse.
