Teen Vogue's Closure and the Quiet Defunding of Worker Consciousness
Teen Vogue’s shutdown marks more than a media loss. This is a warning about how profit-driven consolidation quietly dismantles worker awareness and voice.

The absolute collapse of their stupid AI ruse — hopefully followed by a massive wave of tech regulation and imprisoning the politicians who enabled this — cannot come soon enough.

One wonders how many of these anonymous armed men in balaclavas & full battle rattle, busting into daycares and schools in broad daylight to kidnap & terrorize women and children, also have histories of domestic violence & SA, and/or prior restraining orders against them.

It’s Matthew Carter’s typeface, Shelley (

. She was the 1st whistleblower to bravely come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Andrew Cuomo. 12 others joined her. Cuomo resigned as Governor. His “comeback” never should have been enabled. She earned this moment more than most.

Despite all his bluster, what Trump fears above all else is being hated & mocked. He's been surrounded by a layer of apparatchiks who tell him he's winning & everyone loves him, but last night's election is an uncomfortable & inalterable fact. His ego will need to compensate. Brace for weirdness!

Anyway more hard numbers on what was clearly a referendum Dems need to note and actually fight for on Trump and ICE from Passaic NJ, a place I know well and have a soft spot for ever since working on the 2008 movie Be Kind Rewind, which entirely shot there.

Mamdani aside, it’s results across the Hudson River in New Jersey that show MAGA is in deep shit. In counties like Passaic looking like Hispanic support has completely collapsed & reversed only a year later. Dem Mikie Sherrill won governor far better than expected.

In terms of _content_, as we see with nods to Debs and Nehru, he's deeply comfortable with socialism. This makes sense not just because of his father's work, but also the cultural heritage on his mom's side; the region of India our families are from has always been a hotbed of leftist activism.

I keep thinking about this. This is how we learn. We learn through context, and when things are slightly out of reach. Learning is fun. Thinking is fun.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.
