You know when a work meeting ends early and your boss says, "I'll give you back your time"? I found out what not to reply is, "What about my soul?"

If kids got raped by clowns as often as they get raped by preachers it would be against the law to take your kids to the circus. joemygod.com/2025/11/mo-y...

This is really impressive. They invented racism.

Zohran Mamdani won an impressive victory on Tuesday night, toppling a political dynasty and garnering over a million votes in the city’s mayoral race for the first time since 1969. But he forgot to do the most important thing of all: immediately apologize.

Any time people bring up that Blue Zone stuff to me because of where in Greece my family is from, I also remind them of decades of socialist policies like public health care.

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact

Crazy how so many harmful things for child cognition are allowed to exist yet we managed to keep the cartoon cigarette camel outlawed

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

Nancy Pelosi’s trades over the years have been so good that a startup was created to allow investors to directly mirror her portfolio.

lmao

Should women be hated as witches or patronized as overgrown children? The paper of record debates the two available options.

since Helen Andrews is in the news again, how about everybody enjoy the best TV cspan ever did, where she gets relentlessly demolished as a truly awful person by her *libertarian* ex-boyfriend www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAIT...

as a thought exercise for everyone reading ross douthat's latest missive in the NYT, i want you to think about sending an email to your entire company with the subject line "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", then think about the over/under on the number of minutes/hours you would still be employed

More sandwich puns in the last 10 minutes on Bluesky than on the Internet in the last 10 years

one of my least favorite new publishing "truths" is that books only deserve consistent marketing & publicity if they are already doing well, it's the new "needs experience to get experience" 🤡

if you can't handle journalists asking clarifying follow up questions you have no business managing reporters. go run a dick's sporting goods

I dream of a day where we don't try to constantly repackage and resell phrenology

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

The union is calling on people to boycott btw!!

low-information voter who thinks they just freed jared fogle

kind of wild just how much of modern day living is millions of people saying “we don’t want this, it’s dumb, bad, and evil” and then like 10 dudes going “lol too bad” and then they get their way

But if you have some spare income, give what you can here or sign up for one of the paid tiers. I think the founding member thing lets you put in whatever you want straightfromthehut.substack.com

As my general two cents: don't cancel your WIRED subscriptions. Best culture, best newsroom of anywhere I've worked. I love the living shit out of these folks, and they don't deserve to be negatively impacted by a decision that was made by the parent company, not them. And it's only $2 a month.

I was one of the four people who got canned. In the interim, you can subscribe to my newsletter, Straight From The Hut. No paywall, but feel free to choose the pay to support model. I'm not going anywhere — the show goes on, and I'll be back on MSNBC Saturday night. straightfromthehut.substack.com

The unionization of digital media was and is so important, and we gotta start reminding the bosses that it’s the floor

as I was saying... www.semafor.com/article/11/0...

In response, Conde has filed a charge with the NLRB against the NewsGuild of New York over the union's "repeated and egregious disregard of our collective bargaining agreement."

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.

what the actual fuck

The work of Typebar Magazine is very fun (some of the most fun--basically a real-life version of a great video game). But the worst part is having to reject pitches. Please never take it personally. 97% of the time it's just I don't have enough of a personal interest in the topic presented to me.

Every dollar you give to institutional media goes to currying favor with the far right and laundering far right talking points. Look what Conde Nast just did to Teen Vogue. Look at the New York Times publishing brazenly sexist opinion pieces echoing Peter Thiel's insane misogyny.

Goddard spacecraft engineer: "I think it just kind of speaks to the atmosphere of the agency and the nation, where people are like, 'Well, laws don't matter for the people at the top anymore.'"

NYT: what are we gonna do about these dumb broads???

The only looters are the billionaire class

What is happening at Goddard is absolutely devastating. We are losing history. We are losing an incredible amount of human talent, skill, and knowledge. Rebuilding it will be impossible same for same. Industry can not absorb the people or the equipment. This is undoing space science in the US.

The NYT has devoted itself to the far right's (and capital's) class project. They do not care that kowtowing to the right won't stop Trump from annihilating them. Ownership views their own sacrifice as acceptable if it helps usher in the age of capital enslaving us all.

What is "conservative feminism" if not just "women shouldn't have rights"

Among many reasons it's so hard for any writers just starting out is there is this innate (and sadly necessary) suspicion of anyone who doesn't have clips pre-ChatGPT.
