If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
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.

That's the problem for Trump, the more he tries to deflect the more attention he draws to himself.
Breaking: Trump on AF1 says he 'doesn't care' about the Epstein files getting released.
He then adds: 'You have to go into Epstein's friends.' He lists Reid Hoffman and Bill Clinton but not himself.

Maybe, just maybe, is not truthful about what he got up to with Epstein.
Maybe there's a wonderful secret.

Leavitt, this week: "President Trump kicked him out because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep."
Trump, asked in 2019 if he had “any suspicions” that Epstein was molesting underage women: "No, I had no idea. I had no idea."

Teal inroads into the Senate, largely at the expense of the Libs, would be a marvellous thing.
For one thing Labor would finally have some credible opposition.

Moderates did what they always do, proving themselves irrelevant. The mimsy Lib time servers in the Senate who couldn't win a House seat better hope the community independents movement doesn't get its act together with a Senate ticket.

Teal Senate ticket – why we can’t have nice things - Michael West
Coverage of the week’s polls concentrated on the Coalition’s plunge, its road to nowhere. Is a “Teal” Senate ticket plausible?

Much like Vance lying about Haitian immigrants eating people's pets, this is 100% racist bullshit being spewed by an unabashed white nationalist.
Congrats to everyone who patronizes the Nazi bar he runs.
