I would not have thought I could dislike this man any more than I already did. And yet here we are.
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.

Based on my social media feeds over the last 48 hours, I'd say we finally found something on which "the academy" lacks intellectual diversity.
"If it's not love, then it's the BLS, BLS, BLS that will bring us together."

Also, just…it is the summer of 2025, and the crisis that a bunch of self-described progressives in an immigrant-heavy blue city neighborhood are volunteering 100s or even 1000s of hours collectively to fight is…preventing seven story buildings with affordable housing
This is a disappointing article from the @chicagotribune.com @jake-sheridan.bsky.social leaving out the social context of e vs w of Broadway, the fact that proponents outnumbered opponents 2-1 in plan commission comments, and letting obvious lies go uncorrected www.chicagotribune.com/2025/07/20/p...

A plan to allow bigger buildings along North Broadway has support of Mayor Brandon Johnson, but faces opposition from Edgewater activists who say it will wreck the neighborhood’s character.

I appreciate the transparency, but would it not have been simpler to have AI write the books that AI made up in the AI generated review?
On Sunday, May 18, the print and e-paper editions of the Chicago Sun-Times included a special section titled the Heat Index: Your Guide to the Best of Summer, featuring a summer reading list that our circulation department licensed from a national content partner. 🧵

Storming a Quaker Meeting House with weapons drawn is something that is so abhorrent and unacceptable that I am still struggling to comprehend it tbh.
🚨 Outrage as 20 police officers break into Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrest six. 🚨
This shocking violation of a place of worship is a direct result of crackdowns on protest and dissent - freedom of speech, assembly and democracy are at risk.🕊️

Heartbreaking to see announcements of major layoffs at most research organizations that have played a vital role in supporting federal statistics for education and developing high-quality evidence about what policies/practices actually work.
Below are just a few examples from my LinkedIn feed.
