Summers conferred with Epstein frequently about how to extract sexual favors from a Harvard econ grad (AB '04, PhD '09) The grad is from China Epstein and Summers referred to her by the codename "Peril" Racism and sexual exploitation in one efficient package bit.ly/3LHpin8

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Wait, this sounds amazing.

The DRC could become the first East African team to qualify for the World Cup. 🤞🏿

Magnifiqueeeeeee!!! 🇨🇩 🇨🇩 🇨🇩

@anyolo.bsky.social sigh.

Er… I believe law firms still do this for first years?

More murmurs about a bubble.

I’m going to be honest with you: The headline is appalling, but the piece, which indeed has an absolutely bizarre tone of nostalgia, is worse.

It’s giving

I was reading an analysis of the “rise of the religious right” about US Catholic conservatives and it didn’t do a particularly good job of capturing the complexity of thought and practice within the US Catholic Church. MLK jr once said “the most divided hour in the US is 11 am on a Sunday”.

Larry Summers, former president, Harvard University. Claudine Gay, a black woman and one of his successors, got turfed out by the university based on tenuous claims about incomplete citations.

They’re wasting our tax dollars

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

What is the bar association doing? Isn’t this an abuse of the legal system?

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

A JUDGE!

Things we still don’t know about the #WNBA next season; 1. When does the season start? 2. How much will the players be paid? 3. When will the expansion drafts for Toronto and Portland happen? And how? 4. Where will the Connecticut Sun play? 5. Will Cathy still be the commissioner?

@reuters.com: Global sell off! US stocks react after world stocks slammed!

👀 girl, hush.

The thing that is most maddening about the direction the Times has taken with things like this is some really amazing journalists who work there are doing such good work but giving the paper any money or attention feels like a dirty transaction.

Awkward. 😬

Awks.

They are literally throwing putting Palestinians on mystery flights like they are not human beings.

Soudan: le Conseil des droits de l'homme de l'ONU ordonne une enquête sur les exactions d'El-Fasher

Nigerians, stay woke.

They rounded a bunch of random Venezuelans with tats and pretended they were in tren de aragua, then started blowing up random Venezuelan boats they claim “carried drugs,” in order to slowly groom their base into supporting a full ground war on Venezuela that was always about oil

A heated school board meeting led authorities to reveal that a Louisiana middle schooler was charged with sharing AI-created nude images of a 13-year-old classmate.

I love the theory of #unrivaled working with college students. In practice they are only working with young women from elite institutions and consolidating a lot of pre-existing inequalities. Most of these schools have more money than some WNBA teams - UConn v the Sun for example. #wnba

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

THIS IS IMPORTANT.

So many terrible things in these communications but the terrible spelling and punctuation is salt in the wound.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

A reminder that Claudine Gay was fired for incomplete citations from decades prior.

science but could be misleading or incorrect 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ such a shame that academic publication, supposedly the guardian of knowledge production, is giving up what's at it's core - trustworthy, accurate, independent, verifiable knowledge - just so academics & publishers alike can get on the genai bandwagon

Cool story, bro. 👍🏿

Facebook bought Instagram and turned facebook into Instagram. Then they bought WhatsApp and turned that into Facebook. Now they are turning Instagram into a mix of Twitter and TikTok, as Twitter becomes the unholy offspring of Instagram and Reddit. Innovation, innit.

“But how does the gold get from #Sudan to Dubai?”

Both Zohran Mamdani and Priti Patel are Western politicians of Indian descent one generation removed from Idi Amin’s Uganda with such diametrically opposed politics. Generational trauma is weird like that.

As we write in The Guardian this morning, the Commission’s plan to gut EU digital rules will hurt Europe’s startups and give U.S. tech an unassailable advantage, confirming Europe as a digital vassal. Piece by George Riekeles and I. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
