My sliding doors moment is almost taking a job at Elle in 2012. Close enough?

SpinCo cake pop?

If you live in NYC, particularly Brooklyn in/near Flatbush, please spread the word about Xavier Williams, a sixteen year old with autism who has been missing since Wednesday.

Is Jeff Bezos Selling Out the Washington Post? The Amazon founder was once thought to be the newspaper’s savior—now its journalists are fleeing for the exits. Clare Malone reports on how the paper that brought down Nixon is struggling to survive t...

Yes, Bezos ended the Washington Post’s endorsement tradition & is changing the Opinion pages, but there’s more to what’s going on with him, and to what’s happening inside one of the country’s most important news organizations.

Congrats to @michaelluo.bsky.social! So excited to read this book—a little more about it in this Times review. nytimes.com/2025/04/29/b...

I just listened to a gaggle of schoolchildren sing “Fifty Nifty United States” on a subway platform which is every bit as heartwarming as it sounds.

Newhouse School Announces Finalists in 2025 Mirror Awards Competition Winners will be announced June 9 at an awards ceremony in New York City.

Ok, I have to admit, this is cool & has never happened to me: I got nominated for an award for three of my pieces on media from last year. A year when nothing at all was going on in media. Nothing at all. Anyhow, very flattering and thank you, Newhouse School! newhouse.syracuse.edu/news/newhous...

Amazing correction on WaPo writeup of Graydon Carter's book party.

Why is everyone all of a sudden saying “steel-manning”? This has to be a Bluesky thing.

I did a persons-of-interest piece on Kat a couple of years ago, when her job was still watching Tucker Carlson "so you don't have to."

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

This almost reads like a Gawker item from the 2010s but...it is very much not www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Standalone site! Mistype!

Nate is brutally honest here when he says hindsight being 20/20, he would have never started FiveThirtyEight as a standalone pod.

It's interesting to cover this industry as it balkanizes and to have been at a site that was sort of wrong place/wrong time.

Can you guess who the guest on Monday’s episode of GD POLITICS is?

Reply-all emails really having their moment in the sun lately.

My friend @galendruke.bsky.social has a new Substack post out with some fun pics/memories of the OG 538 years. Podding in Nate's office! I remember being shocked when someone at a party said they listened. A nice walk down memory lane. Subscribe! gdpolitics.com

538 closing is a very sad end to a place that was always misunderstood by the companies that owned it. There are lots of smart people there who should be snapped up. Reach out!

YouTube video by CBS Sunday Morning The New Yorker magazine's first 100 years

CBS Sunday Morning did a segment on @newyorker.com for the 100th anniversary featuring the person who knows all the magazine's gossip from the past 45 years, Bruce Diones. And there were also some other people in it, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcTr...

One thing I did not expect at this hearing is Kennedy showing questionable familiarity with how several aspects of HHS work.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, now questioning Kennedy, is old friends with the nominee, from law school. “You frighten people,” he says to Kennedy.

This is an important fact check. It demonstrates the ways that Kennedy tries to wriggle out of his many on the record statements.

RFK Jr's confirmation hearing is today. Here's what he could do as the head of HHS. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Here is a rather vivid paragraph from Caroline Kennedy’s statement to senators, pleading with them not to confirm her cousin, Bobby Kennedy, as HHS secretary.

Psa if you live in nyc and either moved here post pandemic or forgot everything about how to ride the subway in the past few years: take your backpack off when you get on the train. (this is where I can bitch about parochial things like it’s 2018 or something, right?)
