Extremely exciting news: We're hiring a full-time film critic to come work with me at The A.V. Club! You probably have an idea if you're qualified for this, but if there's something that's not in the job listing, I'm sure I can answer Qs www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/43...

I just want to spend today rewatching the Bad Bunny performance over and over

Anywho, would be nice if there were Latine and Caribbean cultural critics employed by the MSM...

Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

That critique of the government extracting resources from PR. The power poles.

WOKE 2 IS HERE

What an artful, celebratory, life-affirming fuck you to Trump, white nationalism, and imperialism

Holy shit this is amazing

Reggaeton musical theater as Super Bowl halftime show? Fuckin brilliant

Wow, remembering how dumb football is

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

Anyone else have a Peacock app that keeps glitching and shutting off every 2 mins?

There are few things I love more than travel and there are few things I hate more than packing

God bless the folks who do the work of having TikTok, watching a whole lot of videos on TikTok, and then putting the best ones on Instagram for the rest of us

David Ross of SVA has resigned from his post following release of his email exchanges with Epstein. In January 2015, years after Epstein’s conviction, the former museum leader told him that he was “still proud” to call him a friend. by @surrhealism.bsky.social & @isafarfan.bsky.social

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

With the awful WaPo layoffs and the state of journalism more broadly, if it's useful for any writers and reporters considering going indy, @molly.wiki, @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social of Aftermath, @jasonkoebler.bsky.social of 404 Media, @edzitron.com and me will do a little workshop next week.

I’ll never stop suggesting folks read News for All the People. Its dense but really illuminates how a large part of what journalism has always been was anout engendering hate for Black and Indigenous people www.zinnedproject.org/materials/ne...

It feels worth saying that the thing that unifies men as disparate as Noam Chomsky, Deepak Chopra and Trump is patriarchy. Patriarchy, hatred of women, and the need to dominate them, persists across race and class status. Left movements refuse a robust analysis of persisting gender violence.

6/ The Post has lost over 375,000 subscribers in just over a year. If 10% of those readers subscribed to The 51st instead, we could hire 10 reporters and five editors, dramatically scaling our coverage of the city at this critical time. 51st.news/signup

Seems as though they have laid off their entire photography staff. Photojournalists don’t just take photos, we report, we pitch, we take photos while our lives and safety are under threat. We explore our neighborhoods, restaurants and sports with a creative eye. Photojournalists do it all.

A small plug today to consider joining the Freelance Solidarity Project. We're all in this media shitscape together, and it's going to take organizing to rescue its remains from the dumpster fire. freelancesolidarity.org

Last in, first out has been happening over and over again with companies that talked a big game about DEI in 2020.

With the closing of the Kennedy Center and the cuts at the Post, the Washington, DC metro area has lost its biggest arts institution and of its largest local journalism outlet.

A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

They are systematically trying to take away our art, our culture, our community. They are disassembling, brick by brick, page by page, seat by seat, the places we go to experience moments of joy, empathy, hope, collective grief, connection.

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

To give u an idea of how powerful men protect each other, remember Moira Donegan's "Shitty Men in Media" list? Here are former Paris Review Editor Lorin Stein (who got fired for being named), Michael Wolff, & Epstein discussing backing Stephen Eliott to supress MeToo www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy. www.garbageday.email/p/here-s-how...

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

I’m working on a story for @thesicktimes.org about things people with Long Covid and other energy-limiting illnesses (as well as their caregivers) can do to protect themselves and their communities from ICE. I’d love to speak with any of the following: (1/3)

Amazing coda here.

This fellowship is one of the greatest things I've ever had the opportunity to do. I learned so much, pursued a project that otherwise would not have been possible, and love keeping up with the work the other fellows continue to do, too. Highly recommend applying for this:

OMG he did not

if you feel like passing around a link today and helping fundraise for rent that will actually get paid today (and in the next few days for families who have a grace period) you can send here. we will be going hard all day. i won’t be posting about it because I don’t want to flood your feeds.

The post-Me Too era has really taught me that the underlying issue with the persistence of sexual violence isn’t exactly women’s credibility, as the “believe women” slogan suggested, but rather with rape’s moral status. It’s not that people think it doesn’t happen. They think it doesn’t matter.

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds

I am going to Springfield, Ohio this week to report. If you are involved in community action to support immigrants or prepare for ICE in Springfield, I would like to be in touch with you. Please DM me here or email [email protected]. Thank you.

I loved Catherine O'Hara so much, and it especially impressed me that she brilliantly embodied all of these vain, delusional, over-the-top women but never stopped being a self-aware, human-scale person. So here's a tribute to that, and her

he was convicted on charges of false imprisonment, despite the other ones getting expunged — which is his basis for asking the story be deleted he’s emailed me multiple times a year for six years anyway, there’s a lot readers don’t see about these kind of cases and how much work they involve!

Fuck, not Catherine O’Hara 💔

May we all greet the day with the energy of this subway conductor who called us “beautiful New Yorkers” and announced “next stop: JAY STREET-METROTECH, DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN!!!”

As a labor union representing independent media workers, we feel it's important to name that both Lemon and Fort are independent journalists, and that the targeting of independent journalists should be treated with the same gravity as the targeting of those with institutional backing.
