Insufferable nerd with a BA in Underwater Basketweaving and a PhD in Underwater Basket Literature.
I love: tv, dramatic arts, crosswords, Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac, mid-10s SVU, Tick Tick Boom, your dogs, the Mets, and stress cooking.

"It's hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”
An incident in a locker room has always been key to Riley Gaines’ anti-trans fame.
But @msjpauly.bsky.social spoke to swimmers who were present at the same 2022 meet. They shared a very different narrative.

How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

A guy makes ONE tiny mistake (has a years-long friendship with the world's worst sex trafficker; brags about sexually harassing colleagues; is racist; says women are stupid) and his whole LIFE is blown up (does slightly fewer speaking engagements; keeps teaching at #1 university)??!?!?!?!?!
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.
Got it.
Got it.
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.

Here's the email for Sunday Morning. I just sent one, and I hope you will, too. And if anyone can connect me with fellow IU alum Jane Pauley, I'd appreciate it. And so will all the other women in sports he's terrorized for the last 10 years.

virtue signalling is good actually
Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason.
It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls.
And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd

I'm Jewish, I was born in New York City. My grandparents were immigrants from Europe. My grandfather opened a kosher dairy restaurant in lower Manhattan. Jonathan Greenblatt from the ADL is a bigot who doesn't speak for me. Congratulations, Mayor Mamdani!

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.
I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.
