What do a hedge maze, a home theatre, and a private, indoor basketball court have in common? You can find them all in this insane Blacklick mansion. Seriously, this place is so luxurious. It's over 20,000 square feet and it has 11 bathrooms. Just think about that for a second. You could use a different bathroom every single day of the week. Heck, you could use two different bathrooms in one day and still have enough leftover. It's mindblowing. Almost as mindblowing as the hedge maze in the garden behind the house. Prepare to be wowed.

A Real Harvard Of Ohio 🎓

Long shot presidential candidate Andrew Yang has a problem with university endowments. Some have ballooned to stratospheric heights. Yang is calling for universities with endowments of over $30 billion to be forced to spend 1% of that endowment to found and operate a new university in ... Ohio. Yes, this is unlikely to ever happen, but it's an interesting thought experiment - hit the link below for the details.
