We strongly condemn @CondΓ©Nast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I love how the version of "abuses" we would do is all like "holy shit they'll give everyone rights."

The important thing was that none of them were to blame, I think we can all agree there.

My standard response is that anyone talking about public sector productivity is a crank who doesn't know how it's measured.

Unless they are going to do it at scale, this is going to be about learning how these things operate and how to counter.

Kavin came to the UK legally on a skilled worker visa with hopes and dreams. His managerβ€”who sponsored his visaβ€”took his phone, passport, and documents. Forced him to work endless hours. Paid him Β£100 for a month’s work. Beat him. Threatened deportation if he complained. 🧡

Planning minister Nick Boles is due to unveil proposals this week which will allow developers to bypass expensive and time-consuming procedures.

The change is believed to be aimed at addressing the shortage in housing stock created by a slowdown in construction.

I mean, if I'd run on less red tape and housing regulations, I'd be more circumspect about the inevitable result of my ideology.

He's merely trying to justify 'General Boles' policy while in government.

There are a number of economists who've made similar arguments, including Clara Mattei

I think this is especially true at a time when people are being called to make collective sacrifices (COVID, climate change, defence spending etc - obs these are all different things).

Those were the tapes allegedly made by Russian miners who had drilled very deep and presumably drilled their way into hell.

Audio engineers at AT&T discovered back in the 1960's that they could encode metrics about a network as a stream of sampled human voices, on a similar principle to Chernoff graphs.

Pitch, emotion, phoneme, volume, timbre, etc could all be mapped to different metrics tracked.

But on the other hand when their response is inadequate to the challenge from the right they become part of the problem.

FWIW, the specific claim made - is that they were able to confirm the image of Weinstein/Maxwell/Epstein was taken in the back garden of the Royal Lodge (ref Newsnight).

This was known for a while, the photos of Epstein/Maxwell at the Lodge have been in circulation for some years, I assume it's suddenly permissible for the BBC to cover the story.

The argument in the OP may be true, but it is not evidenced by this paper.

They are trying to avoid 'refunds' which would cost them Β£20 and the money that still resides in MoU Ltd

And there's obviously the contradiction between picking up both an Alba member and a trans Green councillor.

AFAICT some black bloc folk turned up to a local protest and now he's doing respectability politics, but along with the Alba guy it doesn't really bode well.
