Okay, one more fun bit: when Zohran was handed the leather ledger that he needed to sign to make his swearing-in official, it was handed to him by Ali Najmi. Ali’s 2015 city council campaign was Zohran’s formal introduction to city politics, when he began by knocking doors for Ali. The part I love…

When I worked at a bookstore, I quickly learned that people cannot tell the difference between Xmas music and any Baroque or Elizabethan music album that doesn't get too organ-ish. I used this to my advantage.

If we had to hear “Baby Shark” everywhere we went for two whole months out of the year we’d throw a fit, right?
And rightfully so.
So tell me, why do we put up with it when the song is “Frosty the Snowman”?

I didn't know who Nuzzi and Lizza were before this morning, but I managed to learn about them in the context of RFK Jr. felching and the collective writhing mass of regret that is the Bluesky discourse currently. What a way to wake up on a Saturday.

Einstein presented "Explanation of the Perihelion Motion of Mercury from the General Theory of Relativity" #OTD in 1915.
He used his nearly-complete theory of general relativity to explain the 43 arc-second per century anomalous precession of Mercury. 🧪 ⚛️ 🔭

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.

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.

I shouldn't be surprised that Larry Summers continued to have a powerful career after the uproar over calling women intrinsically inferior at science, but I am. Anyone who believes this shouldn't be dictating liberal policies. I'm glad he's finally being removed. @harvard.edu should also yeet him🧪
