Is Slack down for anyone else?

BREAKING: We won! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

Stand with Condé Nast Union 🚨 We’re calling on you to sign our petition telling management to reinstate the Fired Four, reverse the suspensions, and end the union busting. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

“gambling is the worst, most game integrity destroying crime you can commit against the game of baseball now please read this sports betting advertisement, they’re our biggest sponsor” truly one of the most predictable disasters of all time

Super excited that we're hiring a senior writer to join @wired.com's culture team! If you're obsessed with internet culture and like our vibe, apply! condenast.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/CondeC...

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

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

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Defense is now questioning Lairmore on cross-examination. They show a video still of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground, post-throw. "Do you recognize that sandwich?" the attorney asks. Lairmore won't confirm. "I did not go back to collect it," he says.

it is kinda crazy ngl like if you have a sibling, cousin, nephew, idk if you literally know any man between the ages of 16-25 you should probably be keeping tabs on them and giving support because at this point statistically speaking hes either an outlier or he's losing tons of sports betting weekly

It’s not ever about the numbers—you can bring insane audience engagement, views, eyeballs to your verticals, shape the conversation in wonderful ways, win awards and on and on And they still will nuke your job and your entire desk in the name of capital consolidation and kissing the fucking ring

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

WE HAVE A DEAL: We are happy to share that all of our hard work - and with the support of the people of New York - we have a tentative agreement on our first contract with Alden Global Capital

Incredibly proud of the bravery and hard work that made this happen - y'all are amazing 🙌✊

Can't tell you how much I didn't miss the "It get's dark out at like 4 PM" thing.

I’m really starting to suspect that most of the tech bros haven’t actually read Tolkien, as they certainly don’t understand it. The gentle hobbits save the “hard men” of Gondor, largely through compassion and selflessness. Not the other way around. The Christian parable is barely hidden!

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

The far-right weirdos who say we have no obligation to care for one another are in the minority. Most people don’t want our government to suddenly stop feeding the hungry. Most people want to live in a society where we care for, and feed, each other. www.jphilll.com/p/yes-the-go...

Marathon day hands down the best thing NYC does. Mobs of people lining the streets to cheer on regular-ass people doing a hard-ass thing. All of life should be like this!

And so begins the long, dark, sad part of the year when baseball isn’t happening. 100 days till pitchers and catchers report!

This game is like I got caught smoking a baseball and now I have to smoke a whole pack of baseball

Tell me the devil doesn't exist. Watch this baseball game and tell me the devil doesn't exist.

This is the very best kind of baseball game to watch when you don't particularly care who wins.

In case you’re wondering, the longest Game 7 in World Series history was 12 innings (1924).

I need a cigarette and I don't smoke and I'm not a fan of either of these teams

we're going 19 this time, fuckos

I’m flying on a plane from Philli to Denver and this commercial brake has aired four NYC Mayoral race ads. Three for Sliwas and one for Cuomo.

"What the fuck man?" "Fuck you, motherfucker"

lol I'm sorry, *trying* to get hit, and then actually getting hit and bitching about it is deeply funny. like, Andrés, buddy, come on now.

god bless the magic of television for letting you see every syllable of a pitcher telling the batter he just hit “fuck you motherfucker”

On game 7 of the world series? Seriously?

GAME SEVEN DONNYBROOK

Wow. You have to love how electric the Rogers Center has been for every big moment this postseason.

I love Ohtani as a player but it does feel like starting him with three days rest in the most important game of the year might not have been the move.

the funniest explanation for that play would be if George Springer missed a sign

Ohtani throwing 100 mph at the second batter he faces after sprinting around the bases on offense. Game seven is crazy man.

Got a four hour flight that took off right as game seven started. This was not a planned part of the honeymoon but it’s a nice bonus

game 7 of the World Series is great because there is no tomorrow so absolutely nothing is off the table everyone is available for everything unless their arm falls off and even then maybe you can staple it back on and get a couple outs Max Max versus Tungsten Arm O’Doyle let’s do this thing

q: why did the outfielders raise their arms during this play? a: according to the ancient scrolls in which the rules of baseball were found, if a ball lands and doesn't bounce that ball is declared god. the players were worshipping god. i doubt there will be a game 7 or any further baseball seasons

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

This reads like a list of companies Tracy Jordan invested in on 30 Rock

Here's a hot take: if you have strong feelings one way or another about the Super Bowl halftime performer, you need to touch grass
