An excellent point. Very large classes with lots of young women. Who will have to put up with being taught by a guy who, at best, shouldn't be overseeing their education. We're now at ~25 hours after the Crimson story went live on a Sunday night. There's already been a fair amount of movement.

He’s been forced to climb down onto the first rung of the Andrew ladder. www.royal.uk/statement-hi...

Whoops! Bad copy-paste by me. "on whether Summers’ status at the university ^^had changed "

My parents, who to my knowledge have only ever voted GOP, called me tonight about ICE/Border Patrol and they are LIVID. The chaos is fracturing the base, and whatever we can do to further exploit that is good.

Newish: ◾️ Harvard did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether Summers’ status at the university ◾️ Bloomberg did not immediately respond to a request for comment, while OpenAI did not provide a comment.

Instead, we usually just keep paying them but reduce their teaching and service load to zero 🤷🏼‍♀️🙃

Hey @Yale maybe you could stop "partnering" with this #inhumanity and stop making your athletes fly @Avelo www.aveloair.com/company-news...

Hi @latimes.com, I broke this story for @lataco.bsky.social yesterday. We were the first news outlet to publish the surveillance footage and report that Rodriguez is a federal agent. Disappointing to not see a "first reported by" credit or link to our website in your story. Do better.

An incredibly Trump-era headline theintercept.com/2025/11/17/p...

I refuse to read that. I'm pretty sure I can hold off on hetero purple sex prose. NP.

If you’re in line to write the most overdone prose about you or your partner sleeping with a presidential candidate, STAY IN LINE!

Imagine an Advent calendar where you open every little door to find a different xenophobic fascist.

All the “remorse”…only when and because he got caught.

One of the hardest things about moving from academia to journalism was the fetishization of access — and SCOOPS — and this Nuzzi/Lizza discourse underlines why it always felt like shit and still does

Summers has previously said he regrets his association with Epstein, including when Summers asked Epstein for advice on getting $1 million to fund one of his wife’s projects, the WSJ reported. But the newly released batch of documents revealed more about the closeness of their relationship.

Come on @brookings.edu, you have to disavow this dude

“Lawrence H. Summers is no longer with the Center for American Progress.”

Nonprofits Summers is still affiliated with? Yes ◾️Brookings Institution, member of Hamilton Project Advisory Council Didn't immediately respond to Wash Post: ◾️Center for Global Development, Chair ◾️Peterson Institute for International Economics, Vice Chair ◾️Yale University Budget Lab advisory board

"it was unclear whether Summers would exit a wide array of boards and think tanks—including those that pay him—or if those organizations would cut ties with him." Re: Center for American Progress, "In a statement Monday, a CAP spokesperson said Summers was no longer a fellow at the think tank."

forget "read widely" or "kill your darlings"—*this* is perhaps the best piece of writing advice I could ever give someone

FT.com today: The Economic Club of New York had been due to host a discussion with Summers this week but said it was postponing it just hours after the Crimson published its article. "due to an unavoidable change in schedule”

Any teachers out there? Ramping this back up again and figured I would advertise. I am on the National Weather Service National School Outreach Team. We are composed of various NWS meteorologists across the country that give school talks about the weather. We can use just about any online platform.

We're just trying to achieve a global target of 90% drop in new HIV infections by 2030. We *could* do it. We're told we're silly seeking targets we can achieve Miller demands sadistic racist target noone wants, 3000 deportations/day, leading to gestapo-fueled horrors staining us all to achieve it

WSJ: Harvard gave no comment Most decorous photo World Bank, he "oversaw a report that demonstrated a high return on investing in girls’ education in developing nations." Why say this? To show he's not a misogynist? Harvard resignation was due to a conflict of interest, not about women and math!

Death to data centers.

God, the decadence of these assholes here at the end of empire

Thinking about this quote from Warren about an interaction with Summers

It's a start.

FUCK. i mean i figured this was coming but i’m not prepared for ICE in my hometown

Larry Summers says he's stepping back from public commitments to "rebuild trust and repair relationships." I'll bet the real reason is conferences/speaking gigs have been cancelling on him all week. Still, he's spinning this to make himself look good--like we'll forget he was besties w/ a pedophile.

Appropos of nothing, I'm putting together a session on speculative plantations for the southern lit conference in Nashville in March ("speculative," "plantation," and "South" very capaciously). Hit me up if you want to be a panelist or know someone who might. southernlit.org/conference/s...

I am glad the State Department has removed the most concerning language from the passports FAQ that alarmed many trans & gender expansive folks. The underlying policy is still wrong, and we will keep working until everyone can again get accurate, reflective documents. The fight is far from over.

I had hoped the Border Patrol/Raleigh story would have been about them getting imprisoned in the Tower of London.
