feels like "one of my best friends was the world's most famous pedophile" should keep you from teaching but i am not harvard
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.

She has produced no work of substance! Her 'achievements' in journalism are all just gossipy details she got through personal access. She also had relationship with a source while covering his political rival and lied about it until confronted! She should be treated like Stephen Glass.

The only thing that's interesting about Nuzzi is the story of how an amoral careerist with no interest in policy and abysmal ethics became an acclaimed national political reporter. But rather than tell that story, the entire media seems desperate to play a part in it.
It rocks that all 20 people who genuinely think the Olivia Nuzzi stuff is interesting have editorial discretion at major media outlets. Just publish your group chats

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

i’d be more comfortable with the olivia nuzzi coverage if every story was headlined something like “seduced by a guy who eats roadkill: the story of an extremely stupid lady”

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Still processing the inanity of this cave, like, "We're going to make Republicans go on record that they want to destroy the ACA." You mean the motherfuckers who radicalized in opposition to it & voted to repeal it, like, 22 times? You're finally getting them on record? Really impressed over here
“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”
Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

After a miserable trapping session, I had nothing to photograph, but the answer to that problem was at the top of a ladder. All I had to do was rescue a Red Underwing caught in a spider's web under the roof overhang of my house.

A thread-waisted wasp, Eremnophila aureonotata, perched on leaves of White Snakeroot in our backyard last Friday, September 5, on an overcast afternoon. Likely sleeping, and easily approached. Leavenworth, Kansas, USA.

Many birds build nests. Beavers construct dams. And goliath frogs, the largest frogs in the world, appear to create their own meter-wide ponds by excavating sand, moving stones up to 2/3 their body weight, clearing debris, and piling some of it to form walls 😮 🐸

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.
