What a HUGE misogynist Lawrence Summers is.

Summers to Epstein:

"...half the IQ In world was possessed by women without mentioning they are more than 51 percent of population..."

"...hit on a few women 10 years ago and can't work at a network or think tank. DO NOT REPEAT THIS INSIGHT"

It’s funny that Harvard has been a consistent target for reactionary campaigns, and not one has been dedicated to ousting Larry Summers, an openly political figure who was friends with Jeffrey Epstein; meanwhile, it’s a fine-toothed comb for *checks notes* Black women.

New email released today includes Jeffrey Epstein writing on August 23, 2018, "you see, i know how dirty donald is.” Epstein was then charged by Trump's DOJ in 2019. Epstein then committed suicide while in Trump admin custody. This is MOTIVE for why Epstein was killed

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Never used it, never looked at it, never will. I turn off AI results in browsers and everything else whenever I can.
Hands up if you've never used Chat GPT ✋

(I feel like Dozer and Tank in The Matrix right now - at first I didn't use it because, rather ironically, I'm lazy and stubborn (peak Taurus energy there) - literally no, don't make me use the new thing I don't wanna. Now I'm glad I didn't 😅)
Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.

Truly great New Yorker article in spite of the title.

Note that it was only 13 years ago that the New Yorker valued women so little, its male:female bylines always skewed male, often by a lot. archive.ph/meTqX

This is a great article:

"What these pundits are nudging us to do, ever so politely, is accept that women, in the main, are accustomed to being a little degraded, a little underpaid and ignored and dampened in their ambitions, in ways that men are not and never will be..."

The extent to which shitty centrist journalism rests on the same thing as Trump, the never-identified "some people say, everyone says" etc. including "critics say" here is a zombie move, lifeless yet vengeful.

Watson was one of those overly glorified scientific thugs who said Black people are less intelligent.

I know all about him. I spent years studying Linus Pauling's work.

He and Watson were big DNA rivals, and if it weren't for Pauling, Watson & Crick would have never solved the structure of DNA.

James Watson's legacy is really very simple. This is not a case of a John Lennon type complicated legacy, where you say "great musician, but a shitty person". No, Watson was just a shitty person who was in the right place at the right time. I can't think of anything celebratory about that

So James Watson died, and it's interesting observing the Nazis eulogise and lionize him. There's the standard stuff about his racism and sexism and "cancellation" making him a hero. Then there's the labelling of Watson as a "genius". Genius? Haha

I never met Watson. But he gave a public seminar at my undergrad. Don't remember the talk but do remember the incredibly disturbing and degrading misogynistic comments he made at the female biology majors given the honor to meet him.

A real piece of shit! World class.

James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, has died. tinyurl.com/j7cau27e

I met him when we were part of a panel discussion on how to improve the portrayal of scientists in TV & in film. I remember most his very dead-fish handshake.

He really didn't like women in science. 📰🧪

James Watson, the sexist racist who stole Rosalind Franklin’s ground breaking research on DNA, created his own (sadly widely believed) genius mythology with a popular book, is dead.
In case anyone is wondering if Watson was really THAT bad, @lpachter.bsky.social compiled a list of quotes that are absolutely not for the faint of heart.
