Bills WR Keon Coleman will be a healthy scratch today vs the Bucs, sources say. A surprise.
The plan all week was for Coleman to play, but that changed when he was late to meetings on Friday morning. That led to him being inactive.

A lot of the (often quite powerful!) guys emailing Epstein were asking him for dating advice, which seems to suggest that they saw his own sex life as aspirational.
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.

Thinking today how homelessness runs through this story, through Epstein's (Virginia Guiffre had been homeless before meeting him), and even through Gaiman's (his nanny was sleeping on the beach when Palmer recruited her, and he used threats of homelessness against another victim).

this was right around when I started undergrad and I don’t understand why people are denying there was a big culture shift around that exact time. there was! imo you should defend what was good about it, not deny that it happened
This is an absolutely incredible thing to say. As someone in Ivy-ish (Duke) classrooms from 2016-2022… I call bull.
