very funny to read these emails and then remember summers wondering whether the leaky pipeline in stem was because women are inherently bad at math
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.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

so currently defectors are:

Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)

CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)

In our non-DEI meritocracy, Larry Ellison's son bought CBS so that Bari Weiss could then put her sister on air.
UPDATE: Per our scoop last night, Suzy Weiss, sister of Bari, did indeed appear on CBS this morning to talk about her recent article in The Free Press.
Second Free Press writer on CBS this week.

If you've been to #LonghornPHP in the past as an attendee and haven't grabbed a ticket yet, we've got a few wks before the conference & I'd love to see y'all there. If our GA tickets feel pricey, DM me. I'm proud of our schedule and want to give speakers the audience they deserve.

@flightradar24.com Y'all should do something special with SkyCards for Dorkfest ;)
Maybe Blue Sky (heh) for LAX for the entire 2h event so folks can quickly catch planes before going back to taking pictures of planes IRL

Next up: principles of using AI for software dev.
For one, don't hand off code for review that you haven't reviewed yourself.
For another, exec expectations don't match current reality on what AI can('t) do.

By default, common LLMs don't use current code features, and even higher-power ones are a coin flip. Go analysis tools, and the associated MCP server, helps push back against this so emitted code gets modernized on the way out of the model. #GophersUnite

If you need every last drop of performance, you can remove the guard rails Go has. But you probably really really shouldn't because your time is more valuable than the hardware you save on making a great protobuf parser. #GophersUnite
