"teaching", sure
Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”

He will continue teaching.

Wasn't hard to call this one. Revenue media got a big bump out of the "reversal" though
Coons on Epstein files: "My hunch is that AG Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Dems, will promptly say, 'No, there's an ongoing investigation, we can't disclose any of this,' and the president will back that up."

@senategabe.bsky.social this is what you're enabling. You should think twice about that
So roll over and play dead

That's exact what he wants his "opposition" to do.

You couldn't enable him harder.

You're pretty much openly pro-fascist.

This is bad. Sarah Kendzior is one of the scholars that most understands authoritarianism and our current moment in the US.
In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

The NYT is a cooking and travel mag with good puzzles and interactive maps. The rest is a degenerating debacle.

As a conservative pundit, I oppose gun control and believe that an armed society is a polite society. But in my hip-hop heart, I'm like if there's a gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place, cuz I see some ladies tonight who should be having my baby.

Next up on the "needlessly platform a criminal idiot" tour with @steveinskeep.bsky.social we have Peter Navarro. Because, there's really nothing else to cover with valuable air time, and because Mr. Navarro has a new book out, you know.

I feel so well-informed! Great job @npr.org brass!

@npr.org and @michelmartinnpr.bsky.social - I caught the interview with Matt Schlapp this morning. For quite some time I've wondered why you platform individuals of this sort, when recent experience clearly indicates what will happen.

How did today's effort go? How did that one feel?

North America is an integrated energy market so deeply connected that it functions as one massive, interdependent system. Growth in Canadian production has been in heavy-sour crude, which is well-suited for complex refineries in the U.S. Midwest and Gulf Coast.

VACCINE TROJAN HORSE

“Some people believe that the term anti-vaxxer is a pejorative,” the physician Robert Malone wrote on June 9. “I do not — I view it as high praise.”

Two days later, he was appointed to the advisory board that steers America’s vaccine policy.

@davidaxellrod.bsky.social platforming Marc Short...why? Just awful, I had to turn it off and unfollow

@npr.org - the only word for this coverage is unctuous. Reporting on the reaction to manipulation rather than manipulation itself is a shameful backslide into obeisance...a betrayal of what many of us have admired in your org in the past.

Why some are accusing Trump of manipulating stock markets
Senators Adam Schiff and Ruben Gallego have asked for "an urgent inquiry" into whether President Trump or others engaged in insider trading on advanced knowledge of his tariff policy changes.

If one more person describes these developments as "surprising" I'm gonna lose my damn mind. They told us they were doing it! Then no one stopped them. Then they did it.

No one deserves to suffer from this except for a few people -- those who enacted the threat and those who played it down.

@steveinskeep.bsky.social - in your reporting, you seem to be giving illegal West Bank Settlers a pass - not naming them as such.

Why are you doing this? Explain yourself
