Is Larry Summers Ruining the Workplace? Yes
- By Elizabeth Warren

Per CNN, Elizabeth Warren is calling on Harvard to cut ties with Larry Summers after Jeffrey Epstein's emails released last week by House Dems featured Summers making sexist comments + asking for Epstein’s romantic advice.

＂민주당 독점 깨겠다＂…조국, 호남서 '정치 메기론' 선언

그는 지방선거 전략에 대해 "광주·전남의 경우 국민의힘 후보 당선 가능성이 0이라고 본다"며 "국민의힘 후보를 0으로 만든다는 전략적 목표로 광주·전남에서 치열하게 경쟁하겠다"고 했다.

국힘 당선을 0으로 만들고 싶으면 민주당 강세지역이 아니라 국힘 강세지역에 후보를 내야지 정상아님 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ???

The 15 or so largest metro areas account for something like 1/3 of the US population, so if the cost of housing in major metros is pricing people out of major job centers, it actually it is a pretty big, national problem.

근데 내가 보니까... 티칭 이밸류에이션은 버블리한 백인 남자가 제일 잘 나와... 그리고 좋은 평가도 애들이 쓰는 방식이 상당히 다름

예를 들면... 나는 좋은 평가도 되게 평가적이거든? 그니까 뭐 "렉처가 클리어하다" "수업 스트럭쳐가 반복돼서 좋았다" 뭐 이런식으로 나를 "평가"하는 문장들이 많이 나옴. 그냥 뭉뚱그려진 따봉도 "너무 나이스하다" "스윗하다" "학생들을 잘 이해해준다" 이러는데

버블리한 백인남자는 "I'd die for this man" 이런 말이 쓰임 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 누가 날 위해 죽어주겠냐고!! 아무도 아냐!!

사실 나 이밸 그렇게 나쁘지도 않은데, 솔직히... 나는 티칭이밸은 그냥 테뉴어 평가에 포함되지 않아야 하는 것 같음. 티칭이밸이 모든 테뉴어 평가 기준 중에 가장 인종차별, 성차별적이라는 통계가 이렇게 많은데...

대체 왜 인종차별/성차별적인 평가기준을 계속 유지시켜 놓냐고... 심지어 이거는 그냥 학생들이 빻은 거라서 학생들한테 제대로 평가하라고 교육시키거나 강제할 수 없음... 걍 모두가 레이시즘 섹시즘 호모포비아 트랜스포비아 제노포비아 발싸함

"인종차별과 성차별을 감안해서 평가한다" 이게 말이냐고 방구냐고 ㅠㅠ 그냥 없애

마치 특권 지적도 안 들어오고 백인 남자들만 의견을 말하던 시절에는 백인 남자들이 레이건 같은 놈 안 뽑은 것처럼? 🙄

There is no batshit far-right idea that the NYT's "reasonable" conservatives will not launder into polite discourse.

Olivia Nuzzi's 'American Canto': Read the Exclusive Excerpt She flamed out and she faded away. 'Vanity Fair'’s West Coast Editor returns to the written word to survey scorched earth.

women are always saying “lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.” ok well he did. now what. is the world a better place? look at what you’ve wrought.

'문리대'가 듣기에는 좋은데 연구 실적/테뉴어 평가 등에서 너무 애로 사항이 많은 것 같아요. 제가 박사 했던 학과가 인문학/사회과학/농학/자연과학을 묶어 놔서 인문사회 전공자에게 불리한 테뉴어 평가 기준 때문에 다른 학교로 옮긴 분도 있고 했었는데... 어째 기시감이 스멀스멀하네요 🥲🥲🥲🥲

A popular author is always worth studying, of course - I would never dispute that. So is a popular conservative ideologue. But why should anyone else be reading those particular books except as a specimen of post-WW2 British conservatism? That is what I fail to appreciate.

The series is probably quite valuable as a curiosity, to (for example) a scholar of popular conservatism. Other than that, however, wouldn't it be more fruitful to read, discuss, and promote those fantasy novels that are -not- written by a South African racist misogynist?

Tolkien’s Deplorable Cultus – Spectre Journal Robert T. Tally Jr. reads Tolkien's corpus with the tools of Marxist literary criticism, delivering a devastating blow to the fantasy writer's rightist fans.

My question - both to liberal defenders and left-leaning critical readers of JRRT and his series - is this: why is an unambiguous defence, or even a critical reading, of a deeply racist/sexist pop-literature series preferable to just finding another book to read?

yeah. MeToo, the George Floyd protests, and an ~18 month period of very tight labor markets induced a mental breakdown across the power elite bsky.app/profile/laur...

The fact that @harvard.edu's Larry Summers is teaching three courses this semester while Texas A&M Professor Melissa McCoul was fired tells you all you need to know about what "gender ideology" is allowed and which is not. @aaup.org

All told, the picture is one of a consistent, if unacknowledged, libertarian eugenics. The high-tech fertility market privileges those able to pay for genetic advantage. The retreat of public health abandons the social minimum needed to ensure that all children can survive and thrive. And immigration policy redraws the body politic along racial lines, achieving by exclusion what mid-century welfare states once sought through inclusion. What emerges is not a paradox but a 21st-century return of social Darwinism, wrapped in a language of choice, freedom and national greatness.

4. There's a villain in the story and it must be told that way. Fossil fuel's climate denial fraud and dark money corruption are full-on villainous and we should say so.

Yes, Trump dominates among the *white* working class (if defined as people without a college degree). But even here, religion played a key role: In 2024, about 86 percent of non-college white evangelicals voted for Trump – vs. only a minority of the non-evangelical white working class.

The tribune of the poor, the downtrodden? Studies clearly indicate that Trump’s most ardent supporters, especially in poorer areas, are, by local standards, quite wealthy / financially stable. Economic anxieties are mostly downstream from anxieties over racial and cultural status.

대부분의 외모 불만은 삶에 별 불편이 없는데도 사람들이 정말 괴로워하는 것 같아요. 외모로 사람을 평가하는 사회 분위기 때문도 있겠지만, 다른 사람에게 안 보이는 부분까지 불만을 심하게 갖는 사람을 보면 '안 보이지 않아...?!'라는 생각이 많이 들어요 ㅋㅋㅋ

How is it that Harvard students and faculty aren’t in the quad protesting & demanding his firing / resignation? Undergraduates currently enrolled in his classes could & should massively disrupt campus on Monday.

More than firing a former President, how about Harvard starts requiring a much higher standard of conduct from its male academics and a zero tolerance policy for general grossness?

Not holding my breath of course, but we need elite institutions to set standards If we actually want to change culture

@harvard.edu needs to fire Summers.

Clearly, women students aren’t safe with Summers for myriad reasons, starting with bias against their intelligence.

I’ll say it again: Why did @harvard.edu invite Larry Summers back into the classroom?

This is so common that I seriously doubt the ability for men to be professors.

이 중 만년필, 잉크, 뜨개만 했고 나머지는 별로 하지 않았어요. 공식 굿즈...라기에 책이나 DVD는 그냥 필수품이니까요 ㅋㅋㅋ

집안 장식을 할 만한 상황이 아니어서 그런 것 같아요.
