evil and insanely bad writing
This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

A lot of the (often quite powerful!) guys emailing Epstein were asking him for dating advice, which seems to suggest that they saw his own sex life as aspirational.
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.

didn't understand the suggestion the ape and JG were knocking boots at the time, but i remember hearing about this foofaraw and it being absolutely foundational. the idea that not only did he not get in trouble, the genuine authority said that joking around was good and valid...

unoriginal but worth comparing how this person made the most of a difficult life, spent it working hard to help others, and faced its end with grace, while ~all the elite of our society either freak out thinking they'll go like stan chera or pursue increasingly draculesque extension schemes
‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

just learned pratt's thm on primality being NP. cute. to check that p is prime in O(log p) time, you give a factorization of p-1 into primes q1....qk and an element a with a^{(p-1)/qi) ≠ 1 mod p... but this certificate needs you to prove q1...qk are prime, hence factor q1-1, q2-1, ... and so on

good thread
when you understand that patriarchy views children as sexual property it all makes sense. there's no hypocrisy. exposure to queerness & transness threatens to "corrupt" the father's property, to "lead them astray" into self-determination, to taint their future sexual value. CSA is permissible as >
Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power
