THE SANDWICH IS INNOCENT

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

Jake Lahut, a Wired reporter who from the Nancy Mace airport story last week, was among those fired. During the incident, CN's HR chief asked staff not to congregate outside his office. Lahut asked "what's your definition of congregating?" and was let go later on Wednesday.

Ellis orders that agents wear "conspicuous identification" in two separate places and wear and activate body-worn cameras while engaging in enforcement actions.

I love how many people I can think of who has had a deep crush on a member Who’s Line Is It Anyway? Colin Mochrie is apparently the Helen of Troy of Canadian improv comedians.

For a while I wanted to marry a comedian because I thought Ryan Stiles on The Drew Carey Show was the greatest thing I had ever seen Somehow ended up with a lawyer instead??? (I refuse to say what my ex-wife is doing now, too embarrassing)

Sounds very Project 2025, no?

For people who have seen my complaints about the gaslighting bullshit service I got from Apple Care over an issue recently, can confirm this is an issue -- I asked for replacements, FedEx broke one, and Apple has spent weeks gaslighting me about it: www.macobserver.com/news/airpods...

"Of course multibillion-dollar sports teams, with their enormous cultural and economic sway, are political enterprises. In 2025, the Dodgers put an exclamation point on that fundamental truth." -- @sammyroth.bsky.social www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/dodgers-wi...

I was thinking about Zohran’s transition team and today’s anti-feminist piece in the New York Times, and my mother’s book on the first generation of women to work in the city government in New York City. global.oup.com/academic/pro...

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

Chuck Schumer should follow in Nancy Pelosi’s footsteps

Ironically the better columnists (@jamellebouie.net, @polgreen.bsky.social, @mashagessen.bsky.social) are more independent and safer for trans people to speak with than any of the reporters, who are vulnerable to and enmeshed in the hierarchy even if they aren't ideologically anti-trans.

Taking session notes for insurance reimbursement is the perfect use case for AI, yet I'd never trust an AI company to simply sell me that software without using sessions as training data, which is exactly what's happening.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nancy Pelosi won't seek reelection, ending her storied career in the US House.

After Israel’s Arabic language spokesman threatened two villages in south Lebanon to evacuate before strikes, the drone is hovering loudly over Beirut. We live in dystopia.

The right has spent years absolutely incensed that anyone would claim their views are grounded in bigotry rather than principled commitments to liberty because they wanted to put misogyny on the front page of the New York Times with no pushback.

BREAKING: Men who can’t even keep the government open write letter to a third man, whose high court regularly publishes anonymous orders, to complain about anonymous criticism from lower court judges.

If you see any art in Chicago this fall, put the Elizabeth Catlett exhibition at the Art Institute at the top of your list. A moving and powerful exhibit that we really need right now.

Mamdani was unwilling to run PR for an apartheid state committing genocide, so Schumer refused to endorse him.

TL;DR: to put it in sports terms that may be more easily understood, anti-trans policies and politicians are fucking losers.

I listened to the Supreme Court's oral argument today so you dont have to With the notable exception of Alito & Thomas carrying on like 'what if aliens were gonna destroy the world and the only thing that could stop it was a tariff,' the Court seemed Not Into It ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/learn...

We have plenty of examples of asteroids and comets without observable tails that still have significant non-gravitational accelerations from ejected mass (the Manx comets, the dark comets, etc.). Avi Loeb knows about those. But he has been pleased to pretend that they are spacecraft too.

Ouch

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it. So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.
