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:

How to organize your co-workers aroundΒ AI Management is already using the hype over AI to make workers fearful. We need a plan to get a say over the tools we use and how we use them.

there were a lot of fans invested in the narrative arc of taylor β€œgrowing up” and sort of maturing into a joni mitchell figure or something and the big crime of this album is it absolutely isn’t that but also isn’t maximalist enough to be 1989 era big pop either.

Just very weird to follow politics knowing that there's going to be a recession that'll make everything we're talking about feel like it happened in prehistoric times.

cite whatever statistics you choose, they simply do not jibe with the image of times square in 1979 that i have in my head. gangs roving a crumbling dystopia and the gangs got themes. some are dressed like baseball players. some are mimes. some are girls. were just trying to get back to coney island

An update: management has chosen not to recognize our Product, Engineering, and Humble Bundle colleagues as part of IGNCG, instead insisting on a time-consuming NLRB hearing, which took place last week.

Help us spread the word: we will not be divided. We are IGN, and we will always stand together.

The Misleading Panic over Misinformation People can’t agree on how to define misinformation and its related terms, making regulation nearly impossible. Instead, free expression serves as a better tool for discovering truth.

AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

MEMORANDUM OPINION
β€œCFPB RIP”
Elon Musk – February 7, 2025
β€œThe CFPB has been a woke and weaponized agency against disfavored industries and
individuals for a long time. This must end.”
Russell Vought – February 8, 2025
β€œThat was a very important thing to get rid of.”
President Donald Trump – February 10, 2025
The motion for preliminary injunction to be decided boils down to one question: should
the Court take action to preserve the the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau now, before the
case concerning its fate has been resolved? That is an extraordinary step, and before it can step in,
the Court must conclude that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed on their claims, that they would
suffer irreparable harm in the meantime if the Court lets the lawsuit run its course, and that an
injunction would be in the public interest.

What an extraordinary way to start an opinion. (Spoiler: Judge Amy Berman Jackson holds that she must take action now to prevent the unlawful dissolution of the CFPB.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
