Have articles and stuff coming out soon but not soon enough to really talk about it Online. This dilemma does, however, help me maintain a coveted aura of mystery.

The WaPa headline says: 60,000 Gazans were killed. 18,500 of them were children. These are some of their names. 

Then follows an enormous list of small print names

NEW: 18,500 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

The Washington Post has just published every single known name.

A seminal moment.

came across an email i sent a friend 2 years ago: "anytime i break form, i find there’s almost zero tolerance for anything different/innovative. i trust the audience enough that they’ll see what i’m trying to do, but the editors do not."

cheers to breaking form and making shit happen your own way.

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

The New York Times isn't a newspaper, it's a lifestyle brand. It's an accessory that its subscribers can flaunt to achieve their desired self-image as cultivated, sober thinkers. It is written to pair perfectly with tortoise-shell designer frames and a tastefully understated cardigan.

FEMA response to deadly Texas floods delayed & deficient with Noem in charge Staffers sound the alarm.

NEW from me — FEMA staffers say the response to the Texas floods is horrifyingly slow, and it may be because of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's recent increased control over how the agency spends money.

"If this is how they are going to do a major hurricane response, people are fucked.”

Arguably if NYT wanted to get ahead they could have written that story, about Nazis trying to start a race controversy with hacked data. But as it turns out, they wanted to be the Nazis.

The appalling smearing of Zohran Mamdani as 'anti-semitic' It's Islamophobic. It's racist. It's also completely untrue.

My latest — The accusations of antisemitism against NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani have been some of the most appalling smears I’ve seen in my years covering politics.

I wrote about the concerted attack, & pressure for American Jews to define a local political race through the lens of Israel:
