Cool way for ICE agents to free their hands for pepper spray canisters and whatnot: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

I’ve definitely spending too much time with Jeffrey Epstein’s emails, beginning to think I’ve seen the face of god like Howard Beale: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOt-...

Hi folks. We're dropping our paywall on this story about the scourge of AI pitches for the day, so give it a read and share widely. www.coyotemedia.org/how-coyote-a...

CEOs, leave the jokes to the professionals.

Will the last billionaire leaving CALIFORNIA – Turn out the lights?

Still thinking about the former reporter who explained her presence in the emails citing Janet Malcom, saying she was doing the fucking news. Hacks are clubby, yet none defend her. Maybe because her work flattered and fawned and access was given due to closeness with one of tech's true power players

Reminder that the guy’s favorite newspaper ran a cartoon comparing the sitting president to a chimp in 2009: archive.nytimes.com/cityroom.blo...

Almost a decade after it was published, this story is still depressingly relevant: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

This @anildash.com quote from his Jan. interview with @cydhayes.bsky.social came to mind today: ”I really think the thing that they’ve been working towards for 10 years is to get Trump to be able to use the n-word in public. And I think we are less than a year away.” sf.gazetteer.co/theyve-pickl...

These photos look like the photographers said, “Show me the face you’d make if your connection to sex offender were made public some day.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/b...

Editors: one of the best tech reporters in the game is available. Don't fucking blow it.

Kinda gotta imagine Leni Riefenstahl seeing her name in so many reviews and thinking, “Vhat the fuck did I ever do to deserve this?”

Ariel Kaminer’s 1996 @nymag.com scene report from the release party for David Foster Wallace’s ‘Infinite Jest’ at Tenth Street Lounge where the author only wanted to go back to his hotel to catch ‘Baywatch’: books.google.com/books?id=0uI...

Thank god it’s Manic Monday: sf.gazetteer.co/manic-monday...

A lot of journalists email or meet with unsavory people in the course of their reporting, but I don’t know many who would talk with them about introducing their new girlfriend to their parents.

A great way to support our journalism is to subscribe to the magazine. secure.motherjones.com/flex/MOJ/SUB...

A psychopathic man chasing a child through the snow to harm is literally the stuff of horror films.

In the @newyorker.com's (good) piece about Bari Weiss, it says her "arrival at the network also coincided with a long-simmering crisis in broadcast news" because network news is "increasingly distrusted by a rapidly dwindling audience." I wondered, and looked up the @pewresearch.org numbers. 1/3

This Chris Uhlmann commentary from 2018 is just note for note, line for line, scarily prescient: www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6_c...

Whatta story! Whatta town!

And I would say that it's *far* more amongst the biggest publishers — this average is just being offset by the smaller SEO shops who haven't been decimated. Folks who do original content are being strip-mined.

"This isn’t even venture capital anymore. Venture capital means you take a risk. High risk, high reward. If there’s no risk, that’s not venture capital." —@anildash.com sf.gazetteer.co/theyve-pickl...

The only ‘take’ I want on “Marty Supreme” is Albert Goldman’s.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

“After a period as a columnist at New York magazine, he was part of a group that made an unsuccessful bid to purchase the magazine.” Weird that there’s no mention that the group included Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein, but who am I to ruin a good Style story? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/s...

THE CITY is looking to hire three editors to join our newsroom and help fulfill our mission to serve the people of New York. Learn more about each role here: buff.ly/ZNMGpYu

I'm putting together a piece about how much investigative journalism actually costs. If you are an investigative journalist and you're willing to share (not for attribution) what you make and how many hours (years!) you put in, my DMs are open. Estimates fine, just want to get a sense of it.

Jon Peters watching the ‘Stranger Things’ finale.

However heartwarming, clever, historically fascinating, or technically advanced your AI slop post is, I will not watch it. I will not like it. I will not share it. Make human stuff.

Anyway congrats to Bari Weiss on getting me to watch 60 Minutes for the first time in forever.

'In the isolating, brain-melting age of AI, all sorts of people across the Bay Area are turning — or, returning — to print,' writes @cydhayes.bsky.social. Read our feature on the print wave, now available online: sf.gazetteer.co/print-is-for...

”Let‘s do the fucking news... If Stephen Miller says it’s OK.”

The news coverage every day—exposing our corrupt authoritarian regime that gives only cynical lip service to America’s revolutionary founding principles—reminded me the article we did in Spy in 1989. Kind of prescient. 1/2

"One of Ms. Weiss’s suggestions was to include a fresh interview with Stephen Miller, a White House deputy chief of staff and the architect of Mr. Trump’s immigration crackdown." The least they could've done was make room for fourteen words: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

2025's Fail Whale

For his latest San Francisco Plays Itself film column, @yourprotagonistwt.bsky.social wrote about David Fincher’s ‘The Game’ (1997), “a fable set in a distorted San Francisco stripped of real neighborhoods and rendered as shadow, echo, and ambient threat.” sf.gazetteer.co/its-a-wonder...

Sounds like one helluva ‘Love Boat’ episode: www.theguardian.com/film/2025/de...

The best magazine subscriptions for kids of all ages that also make great holiday gifts. Magazines include ‘Highlights,’ ‘Anorak,’ ‘Ranger Rick,’ ‘Anyway,’ ‘Kazoo,’ and ‘The Week, Junior.’

Does E. Graydon Carter still edit Vanity Fair?

Are you someone who's Very Online, early in your reporting career, and eager to get clips? We're hiring a Breaking News Reporter at @motherjones.com. $65k-$75k salary. www.motherjones.com/careers/brea...

Starting to see the visual influence of @thefence.bsky.social on U.S. publications. Makes sense: it's a great looking magazine.

Feeling like such a loser for not being in a single one of these: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/u...

Very excited about the first print edition of @sf.gazetteer.co hitting the streets. The cover photo is by the talented Tâm Vũ and reminds me of Perham Nahl’s famous “The Thirteenth Labor of Hercules” poster. Look for copies around the city starting today!
