I don’t care that, say, Pete Buttigieg worked for McKinsey. I care that he endorsed Harrell in the Seattle mayoral race.

I'm thoroughly unsurprised that gambling scandals so far have been basketball related, because that's the sport where one guy tanking can do the most damage. I'm even less surprised that the second position implicated is baseball pitchers

Social media understand that the Democratic Party is not setup the same way as Labour institutionally challenge (impossible)

Who is Matt Murdock, who doesn't need to open his eyes because he's blind?

the Iranian drought story is insanely undercovered.

Arte digital de uma bruxa e uma vampira sentadas lado a lado no chão de uma sala. A bruxa está cochichando algo no ouvido da vampira, que ri. A bruxa é uma mulher negra, com cabelo crespo em um volumoso corte redondo, decorado com uma flor amarela; ela usa um brinco de folha, está segurando uma caneta na mão direita; tem piercing na sobrancelha e uma tatuagem de uma flor blindeye no braço direito; está usando uma camiseta baby look raglan da Aya Nakamura e shorts jeans. A vampira é uma mulher branca, com cabelo cor-de-rosa preso em um rabo-de-cavalo; ela tem piercings na orelha e no queixo, usa um brinco com uma corrente e uma cruz Ankh, camiseta larga da Mariah Carey e shorts jeans. Elas estão sobre tapetes e rodeadas por almofadas; diante delas há uma mesa de chá na qual há um mapa aberto com várias marcações. Sobre o mapa há várias canetas, dois livros e um celular; há um pixie diante de uma bola de cristal que parece tentar usá-la para se comunicar com alguém; do outro lado há um copo de caipirinha pela metade, que é bebida por um pixie, com um canudo; do outro lado do copo há um pixie bêbado sentado. Atrás do casal há uma estante cheia de livros de antropólogos, uma planta com folhas grandes e flores amarelas, uma cortina com estampa geométrica. Do outro lado é possível ver parte da roda de uma bicicleta. Uma porta corrediça de vidro aberta dá para uma sacada na qual há vários vasos de planta decorados com desenhos geométricos, e um com o céu diurno desenhado. Há várias plantas, inclusive uma trepadeira se enroscando no guarda-corpo, e é possível ver parte de uma casa mais à frente.

So much 'gender critical' nonsense boils down to "im normal, so i deserve to be prioritised" which is manifestly an overwhelmingly abnormal thing to say.

This just seems like an unsustainable way to run a civilization. Like at a certain point this phenomenon happens to like, fertilizer or microchips or something and it’s lights out right?

By serving as the first woman Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi made history. But in doing so, she ruined the House of Representatives as a workplace.

I think specifically with reality TV there is a very over-represented-in-the-culture audience of sophisticated, highly educated people who consume it basically as a self-consciously trashy or even ironic guilty pleasure and I can't emphasize enough that this is NOT the typical reality tv audience.

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.

To be clear it seems to be a temporary event and not a permanent theme park.

Statement from The NewsGuild of New York and Condé United on illegal firing of four union leaders who demanded answers about this week’s layoffs at Teen Vogue, other brands Late Wednesday night, Condé Nast’s VP of Labor Relations notified the Guild that the Company was immediately terminating four Condé United leaders for engaging in the protected concerted activity of gathering in their 1 World Trade Center office to demand answers on this week’s abrupt layoffs at multiple brands including WIRED and the consolidation at Teen Vogue. These egregious terminations are a flagrant breach of the Just Cause terms of our contract and an unprecedented violation of their federally protected rights as union members to participate in a collective action. Through these illegal terminations, Condé Nast management is attempting to intimidate and silence our members' advocacy for the courageous cultural and political journalism of Teen Vogue, as well as diverting attention away from the obvious lack of corporate leadership at the company. Condé United members illegally fired are: Alma Avalle: Writer, digital producer at Bon Appetit; NewsGuild of New York first vice president, trans activist, and union leader Jake Lahut: Wired senior reporter covering the Trump White House Jasper Lo: Senior fact checker at The New Yorker and US Army veteran: outgoing first vice chair of The New Yorker Union Ben Dewey: Videographer at Condé Nast Entertainment, former vice chair of the CNE unit “Management’s attempt at union-busting, using intimidation and grossly illegal tactics to try to suppress protected union activity, will not stand,” said Susan DeCarava, president of The NewsGuild of New York. “The NewsGuild of New York has zero tolerance for bad bosses who harass, target and disrespect our fellow Guild members. We represent nearly 6,000 media workers across the tri-state area and we stand firmly in solidarity, ready to fight for the rights of our members illegally fired from their jobs at …

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Playing Bubsy 3D is biphobia but we're not ready for that conversation.

also the path to this is not the Dems reaching out in conciliation. it is the Dems grinding the actually-existing GOP into dust until its leadership once again agrees that the bargain of liberal tolerance is worth abiding by

andrew cuomo ran one of the worst political campaigns in modern history but i think my favorite part was in this ai ad, the pregnant bill cited chatgpt as a source and a chatgpt phone walks onto the screen and goes “that’s right”

three sheets of paper are taped to the outside of a building. they have the words "The Oval Office" in gold script

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to
