it’s a very strange feeling. to give you an idea - for the entirety of my tenure at $job, i have never not had to write a thesis in the evenings. it’s been more than a year
(i didnt spend six years writing this thesis. but i did spend six years at this uni)

my thesis might still be nonsense but it’s definitely not stolen

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.

list of things that are way less expensive than my brain expects them to be:
- small house appliances
- tv screens (good ones are still expensive though!)

new addition:
- tableware, even when new / in sets with an eye to quality and looks and not just price (if you know where to find discounts)

So yes, as many feminist/gender/sexuality scholars and writers are noting, it all really does come back to a political movement built on a shared idea and that shared idea is rape, the idealism of rape, the social purpose and necessity of rape, and the domination and hierarchy it creates, all of it.

Huge scoop from Ed, who had several years of financial reports leaked to him. OpenAI has been over-reporting their revenue. The company is even less profitable than we knew.
Exclusive: Based on documents viewed by this newsletter, OpenAI spent over $12.4 billion on inference from 2024 to September 2025. As part of its Microsoft revenue share, it sent $493.8m in 2024/$865.8m Jan-Sep 2025, implying lower revenues than previously reported.

wonder if this could have anything to do with the British press running a 24/7 hate campaign where typically a single newspaper might contain 3 anti-trans stories *a day*
"The wide-ranging polling on attitudes also suggested the proportion of the public feeling transgender rights have gone "too far" has more than doubled in five years" I WISH there was a follow-up question as to what new trans rights they think have come in over say, I dunno, the last 15 years?

OVER A MILLION USERS

DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT

EVERY *WEEK*

what the fuck are we DOING here
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Talking to teachers who enthusiastically use ai reminds me of talking to people who join Facebook pyramid schemes like selling weight loss juice or make up. “It is so amazing I use it every day, I’m an entrepreneur”…

knowing you served the public well when it hits is one of the greatest feelings I know and you should always leap at the opportunity if you get it because they’re a lot rarer than they should be.

The number of American leftists I've met in real life who make top 20% incomes in the US and want to move to Europe because their conception of Europe is "social services would be free but I'd have the same amount of disposable income"... yeah, unfortunately, no, that's not how it works
