In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

I quit my 16 year marriage to a very reasonable man at 40. It was a true mid-life crisis, and I quit a lot of other bad things too. Life has been fucking amazing since, despite some legit rough times. Truly, I’m my real self now.

So the so-called intellectuals who spent the last 8 years writing "Has DEI gone too far?" columns were all sleeping with each other or sexually harassing or assaulting junior colleagues?

European political scientists are blue in the face from constantly pointing out that accommodating the far right does not help centre-left parties win, and contributes to the rise of far-right parties. There's a mountain of data to support that.

But no, the galaxy-brained strategists must be right.

I don't have much to say about Olivia Nuzzi, but it's emblematic of our culture at large that what should have been a career-ending scandal resulted in a sweetheart high profile book deal and a fawning tongue bath profile in the paper of record.

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten.

For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

I'm wearing my Wonder Woman ski costume overtop my psychedelic gym clothes, and even I'm confused by this.

I’m finally going skiing. (It’s been a super warm and dry fall, so I’m getting started way late this year.) Conditions will suck, and I forgot my boot heaters, but it’s still skiing.

Could argue the misogyny Summers expressed both publicly while president of Harvard and in emails to Epstein says more about the culture at our most elite institutions than any of the frontpage freakouts over academia in the past few years but hey

Epstein was convicted in 2008.

This dump of emails shows him *over a decade later* in constant communication with damn near everyone with any degree of power.

There are emails from 2019, 11 years later, over decade later.
The thing about elon going to epstein island in 2014 is that Epstein very publicly became a registered convicted sex offender in 2008, 6 years earlier.

Note: Epstein set up Elon's brother Kimbal with a girlfriend in 2011, 3 years after Epstein became a registered convicted sex offender.

Late night thought: we know that Odo struggles with the details of humans in Deep Space Nine, it’s why his hair and face are like that, but he also canonically fucks. This raises a question, when he fucked did his boner look like an uncooked hot dog?

This is so fucking disgusting and so common.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

I hate it when my chickens come home to roost too.
