sure, but you don't get to work with ME, your idol and best friend

I think it was when KS had it too, but yes

seems like a great sign for a magazine when a newly posted job is the same job from which at least three people have been laid off in the past decade, and the low end of the salary band is less than they paid in 2016.

Folks in the Boston area: I’m looking forward to being in conversation with @greenwell.bsky.social this week on *Bad Company* — one of my favorite recent books and exceptional narrative non-fiction. Register: www.hks.harvard.edu/events/priva...

When the Washington Post issued its public explanation of February layoffs, the paper said it intended to take a more narrow focus on national politics and national security. But how does that serve readers? Miriam Berger joins @greenwell.bsky.social on the Kicker. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Yeah man, why would Graham Platner of all people have any obligation to make sure he’s not RTing Nazis? :touches earpiece: And apropos of nothing, being a fan of someone’s show isn’t an endorsement either.

oh god yes. Reading this now, but will also plug Bad Company by @greenwell.bsky.social which does a great job of walking through the real world impacts on People's Lives of the PE takeover of American institutions.

JOHN what happened to spec loyalty

DHS agents detain Columbia student after entering University-owned residence, Shipman reports <i>This is a developing story. Check back for updates. </i>

fyi the Columbia student newspaper has far more details on the ICE raid on a Columbia residence hall (including the likely name of the student in question) than any of the journalists y'all are reposting who aren't on campus. 🙂 support student journalism!

yes hello I slept with my arm under my head and now can't move my (already surgically repaired) wrist.

dad books (generally big meaty popular histories, most recently the Edmund Fitzgerald one that became a bestseller)

it's genuinely very cool to me to see the world's richest newspaper swoop in immediately after a competitor's mass layoffs to hire some generational talents just because they can.

Miriam Berger was one of 300–plus journalists laid off this month by the Washington Post, all but eliminating the publication’s international desk. On The Kicker, she and host @greenwell.bsky.social discuss how she reported stories from Gaza. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

not too late!

wow and yet you ignore my text about it

highlight of my day is that I got connected to this guy and am sending him a copy of my book to thank him for the piece of perfect cinema.

Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream By @greenwell.bsky.social

I love service journalism, Damon

Your muted words Twitter in text & tags "going viral" in text & tags following me in text & tags follower count in text & tags "bluesky elder" in text & tags followers in text & tags engagement in text & tags "went viral" in text & tags

seems like a good night to promote my strategy for avoiding the most annoying discourses on this website. when I figure out how to mute all instances of failure to understand jokes and all explanations of subjects I know about, I’ll be unstoppable.

Something that is very interesting about Bluesky is that often people reply to me as though I have never before considered the thing about which I am posting when in fact I probably have a great deal and that is why I am posting about it. Just one of life’s little jokes I suppose.

an even worse forecast from the national weather service fml

hey siri how do I make a coat out of groundhog pelt

NWS forecast that shows Brooklyn getting an unholy amount of snow on Sunday and Monday.

I am going to hunt down Punxsutawney Phil. I will find him and then I will grind his bones to make my bread.

new professional goal unlocked

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

I assume the only reason to repair the fridge was to benefit Sir’s perishables.

I truly hate cats but I love Sir, the cat that benevolently lets you sleep in his home.

Am currently reading Bad Company by @greenwell.bsky.social and based on what I have read so far I am sure that everything at Walgreens is very fine and very normal and that there is no need for concern, alarm or OH MY GOD WTF
