To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit.

All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.

I spent three hours going over student drafts of their primary source papers with them, line by line, and in this age A.I. Slop, it was glorious, well-spent time. honestly, this is why I became a teacher.

Summers should choose the most straightforward path and resign. Should he refuse to, though, the University must cut ties with its former president to the greatest extent possible.

"Peril" as in "Yellow Peril"?! Summers (who was married at the time) manages to be racist, sexist, and just plain gross in emails with his "wingman" Jeffrey Epstein.

Never tell me again how the real problem with academia is that it is "too woke."

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
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.

Still dubious there is any message that would do the trick but this is a definite contender and certainly vastly better than saying “you don’t understand how the Senate works”
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

My America is now a country where young children train to escape armed gunmen in their classrooms, and fear that they, their family, or their teachers are taken by masked, armed police on their way to/from, or at school.
