In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

This is such an important point. RFK paints a picture of autism being a universally devastating diagnosis, whereas the reality is entirely not that.
And, AND I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, even if vaccines did cause autism, autism isn't a bad thing, measles is.
Come the Eff on @nytimes.com his critics say far more than this. He’s flat out wrong on all of it, he’s grifting, and he fundamentally misleads on everything and has for decades. And yes Vaccines save lives!! And DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM

Capping borrowing amounts from the best resort loan option, reclassifying highly qualified professions like nursing as “non-professional” is a backwards ass approach to dealing with the high cost of higher education, that will only amount to shortages of well trained people.

Get ready! This makes the dark November days so much brighter!!! We are small but team #YouPickTwo (Med-Peds and any combined specialties) loves to participate!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Mark your calendars because #HCWvsHunger 2025 starts in just one week…

And if you donated early due to the shutdown keep those receipts because we are going to find a way to count them.

Let’s feed some more people 🍎

If they're making it harder for nurses to afford graduate degrees and have already made it harder for nursing professionals to come to the US to work under visas, then who do they think will work the hospitals, the nursing homes, the outpatient clinics, the community health programs, etc?

Who?

RFKjr has spent much of his adult life lying about science so he can take vaccines away - including/especially childhood vaccines, one of the best things we have ever accomplished as humans

hes spent years and years on this, trump gave him the chance and people like Cassidy fell for his lies
ICYMI: Yesterday, the CDC updated its vaccine safety page to say that vaccines might cause autism (they don’t) and that the science isn’t settled (it is).

For substantiation, the page links out to several studies by anti-vax allies of HHS Robert Kennedy Jr.

CDC Updates Vaccine Safety Page to Promote Vaccine Misinformation, Cites Kennedy’s Anti-Vax Allies
It is the latest move by Robert Kennedy Jr.’s Department of Health and Human Services to undermine vaccines.

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM, YOU FLAMING SHITBIRDS.

THE LAST TIME HHS, AS CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY RFK JR., CONDUCTED A “COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT” OF THE CAUSES OF AUTISM THEY BLAMED TYLENOL AND THEN, BECAUSE IT WAS BULLSHIT, HAD TO WALK IT BACK.

The @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social has been on fire lately, and this is oped is no exception. (And worth noting as an aside that no LLM could produce an article of this power and precision).

Summers should choose the most straightforward path and resign. Should he refuse to, though, the University must cut ties with its former president to the greatest extent possible.

Looking forward to the juxtaposition of yes votes and prior tweets arguing why a no vote was the only option.

OMG, as a father, allow me to emphasize it is not ok for adult men to be into teen age girls, and if you are an adult rationalizing “15 year olds” as somehow ok:

You are gross

You need help

Stay the hell away from my children or my students
