Job offer!! I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July. This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

Bad Bunny can do this one too

Rob Rausch they could never make me hate you

Finally some good news

It’s true! You can catch me writing a monthly column on Aftermath starting…SOON

Imagining Mel Blanc yelling the following: “I’m gassed! I’m gagged! I’m (voices goes high for this one) gooped!”

A thing I learned a couple years ago when I wrote about the muppets is that people love reading about the muppets. Pleased to say the muppet show revival addresses the problems I wrote about here nicely! www.polygon.com/tv/22376446/...

Hey Peakies, OG and new, if you’re looking for the whole story… look no further. #scottmeslowbksy.social

Idk looks like they fixed it imo

Oh no now they’re doing a game I like

Hello! I'm looking to speak to anyone who works, or has worked in a diversity position at a major studio or publisher (or whatever it's been called at that company, inclusive growth, DEI, whatever!). Conversations can be 100% anon, of course, via DM here or email lukeATaftermathDOTsite. Thanks!

This is now!

One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.

That’s right. Come hang!

funny how every aspect of American life, from politics to the marvel cinematic universe, is sick with a profound inability to say “you know what? Bad idea! Sorry! Let’s try again!”

I want to emphasize how radically Trump's second-term judical appointments are going to change the American legal system. These are not the standard Ivy League FedSoc guys. They are election-denying freaks who earned Trump's favor because they are willing to say what he wants to hear.

Profound and timely and timeless, as Shakespeare so often is.

The entire annual operating losses of the Washington Post amount to a single-digit percentage of the everyday noise in the signal of its owner's finances

journalism the rare field that will make you feel survivor’s guilt even if you don’t have a job

I think it’s worth remembering that Steve bannon is just some guy

I think some people may have thought i was exaggerating the extremely gendered maga perceptions of liberal weakness. I offer this as a rebuttal. bsky.app/profile/radl...

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

It’s just racism. There’s no immigration problem

The big tech founder whose 417-foot, $500 million superyacht needs a 256-foot, $75 million superyacht to "shadow" it -- because the bigger yacht lacks a helipad -- had to cut his paper's newsroom almost in half, for reasons

I don’t know how to solve any problems man. I just want to publish true things until I can’t anymore

he’s such a little shit

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...

Whatever you think of the Washington Post at this moment, here's a chance to support the dedicated, hard-working journalists who were just laid off. If you have the means, your donation is most welcome. If you don't, a kind thought and maybe spreading the word to others is support enough 💙

jeffrey epstein's apparent association with the likes of bobby kotick, steve bannon, and peter thiel – and his fascination with game design as a means of controlling others – paint an unsettling picture

'dear jeffrey, so sorry to hear about your little hiccup. I hope this can all be cleared up and you can continue to enliven the life of your friends with your wit, intelligence, and collection of beautiful women! in unrelated news, I have a new project that needs funding ...'

I don’t get too loud about this because I really do understand how hard it is out there but I think the lack of a stigma around critics selling out has been pretty terrible for the field

had a really lovely time chatting about TCW, star trek: enterprise and how a culture only does That if it's very, very sick

A tough one to sit with--but we must--is that some people's ability to make good art in part derived from, or was protected by, the fact that they were enabling or doing terrible things. See also: We Need to Talk about Cosby doc. Even more troubling on this score: Read deep reporting on Alice Munro

yeah this x100. I also think there’s a well-meaning desire to purge them from the record that is just as misguided. For example: You don’t have to canonize sandman anymore, but a huge swathe of comics history doesn’t make sense if you pretend it never held the position it did.

wonder man the rare genre thing that gets funnier as it goes, the scene where Simon and Trevor pull over to read script pages in the middle of a chase killed me

this is probably a losing battle but like, the articles you read are written by people, not the website. people can write good things for websites you don’t like and bad things for websites you enjoy.
