Thanks for watching all the clips this weekend. I beg if you can spare the time to tune in for my free special coming out 7PM this Friday on YouTube. It’s not as topical (how could anything feel topical these days if it’s not recorded yesterday) but I’m really proud of the-

At this point in American history advocating for β€œfree markets and personal liberties” is a decidedly partisan project - the Republican president is threatening to revoke citizenship on a whim and trying to set commodity prices through tariffs!

Wgae strike sign saying β€œI’m in the verge of a strike” where The Verge is written in the style of the logo, in the corners is a Verge score of 2 for Vox Media and management’s proposals

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

It’s been a long day of bargaining with Vox Media, fighting hard to get a fair contract with better salaries, AI protections, the inclusion of the Dodo in our union, and much more. Come tomorrow, there’s only two days left in our contract β€” Vox Media, stop dragging your feet.

It was my honor to join my Vox Media Union colleagues in bargaining as they fight for a fair contract. Sites like Vox and the Verge are the last good websites on the internet because of the HUMANS who write and produce the smart, critical content we read, and those humans deserve a fair contract!

but mozilla has been an inspiration for me for a while. love that old nonprofit-run what-if-a-tech-company-was-good thing. still kinda my dream job tbh. whatever. wishing them a very figure out how to survive without the google search deal

i continue to be very concerned about mozilla’s well-being. i imagine the firefox project would be carried on my the FOSS community if need be (but, we’d be kidding ourselves if we think that’s not going to lead to a decrease in quality of life for the service)
