I’m writing this because I’m seeing shock about some prominent men in the not-too-distant past being “sex pests.”
It wasn’t just prominent men.
It wasn’t ALL men—but it was MANY men.
Often men in suits. Seemingly respectable men. Businessmen with wives and children.
That’s just how it was.

The fact that being a serial sexual predator is apparently one of the easiest ways to access circles of power and influence should have us all ready to riot.

Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked.
When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

The men and women emailing with Epstein are the exact same people who believe that you shouldn’t have access to women’s and gender studies. Ask yourself why.
I need people to understand that it’s not just Epstein, it’s the entire rape culture that existed before and after him at every socioeconomic level. That’s why Epstein, who I’ve never thought was particularly smart or interesting, was able to pull this all off—he recognized how abuse functions

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

This is what happens when Boston, Cambridge, Brookline, Somerville, Newton, & other core cities don’t build enough homes. People are displaced to where they can afford, and prices are pushed up there, too, pushing other folks even further out.
We need more homes throughout greater Boston!

For a lot of Greater Boston residents, the rent is too damn high. So some moved to Taunton, this city of 60,000 with a new stop on the commuter rail.
My latest at @bostonglobe.com is looking at how high rental prices in Greater Boston are reverberating across other places in Massachusetts.

Taunton has attracted residents from Greater Boston for lower rents. Now, prices there are soaring. - The Boston Globe
Affordability isn't the only thing attracting new residents to the city, locals say.

This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association.
