The (sandwich) case is closed

I wish I were a billionaire so that I could fund an independent, nonprofit news organization and hire all these smart, talented reporters who are being laid off by corporate. Chat, how do I fix this?

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.

Holy shit.

This was Novo Nordisk executive Gordon Findlay. Trump barely reacts. Lutnick as well. RFK Jr. runs away almost immediately. Oz, to his credit, immediately responds like a doctor.

when Elon Musk attacked my reporting to his millions of followers last week, it was one of the scariest days of my life in that moment, the leadership at @wired.com enthusiastically stood by my article and its message: holding powerful tech leaders accountable

New turnout numbers in Seattle suggest that only about half the ballots are in, with nearly 55 percent of voters in the city casting ballots. Two thirds of those are drop box votes (rather than mail-in), and the numbers now suggest that only about half the ballots have been counted.

This. As someone who's worked in audio journalism , a daily news podcast, edited scripts, and worked with many hosts, Douthat is phenomenally, inexplicably boring as a talker and host. I do not understand the huge investment NYT is making in the guy. I'd love to see the numbers on his work.

In a better journalism/media world, the NYT would be investing as much time, energy and resources into Jamelle Bouie as they are in Ross Douthat

After the NYTimes published the op-ed "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", I remembered that a NYTimes Guild report in 2021 found "Overall, median pay for women was $10,000 less per year than for men, meaning women earned roughly 92 percent of what men earned." nytimesguild.org/papers/2021-...

Here's the planned BLS data release schedule for Nov 2025. On Tues, it couldn't release Sept job openings, hires, layoffs and firings data. This morning, it couldn't release 2025Q3 business Productivity and Costs data. Tomorrow, it can't release Oct 2025 #JobsReport www.bls.gov/schedule/202...

Diamonds Ford thought she was shooting at an intruder when cops raided her Florida home without knocking. Then she was charged with attempted murder. Read her essay ⬇️

NEW: Billions of pounds of food are imported to the U.S. each year. The FDA inspects foreign producers to ensure what we're eating is safe from pathogens and dangerous manufacturing practices. But now, after Trump's drastic staff cuts, these inspections have plummeted to a historic low. 🧵/

Haha, holy shit. They had to update the headline. "no, no, we're talking about THOSE women"

Rick Brunson, one of my journalism professors at UCF from way back in 07-08, is still teaching, working, and mentoring others, including this program that teaches journalism to incarcerated students. Just an incredible guy who truly and sincerely believes in journalism and its power.

Hey, #Booksky 💙📚, what should I read next? Just finished “California” by Edan Lepucki. It was OK, not great. Here’s my TBR stack. Or suggest something else.

For @msnbc.com I wrote about how Tuesday's election gives Democrats the blueprint for overcoming Republican anti-trans attacks and how thus should settle all the talk about throwing trans people under the bus. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Eric Adams talks like he was forced against his will to serve as mayor and run for re-election

This is how I sound when my D&D players ask about an area I didn't write any lore about ...

This is an actual page on the official site of the U.S. government Link: www.whitehouse.gov/mysafespace/

"The sandwich did not impede Officer Lairmore’s duties that night ... A footlong from Subway could not and certainly did not inflict bodily harm.”

“If someone assaulted you, if someone offended you, would you keep a momento of their assault? Would you stick it on your daily lunchbox and carry it with you day in and day out?"

“This case, ladies and gentleman of the jury, is about a sandwich.”

She's absolutely right. As a producer with several films in development with female directors, I can say it is an absolute uphill battle to get execs to fund their projects. Great scripts are sitting on shelves while a generation of our most talented women sit idle. www.avclub.com/kristen-stew...

I know it is NewsNation, so who gives a shit, but Chris Cuomo working election night, where the biggest race is one where his brother is running, is just hilariously and pathetically unethical.

This is the cleanest 3 minutes of Stavros Halkias ever recorded

Seattle, what did you do?

"Hey, 'Drew"

Can we get a live cam on Bill Ackman right now? Please. Anyone?

Me waiting for the screenshots of crashouts on X

Spanberger is projected to win alongside her running mate Ghazala Hashmi, who will be the first Muslim woman to win a statewide race in U.S. history. www.notus.org/virginia/abi...

Virginia Republicans leaned hard into anti-trans propaganda as part of their main messaging in the final months of this campaign. It fell completely flat with voters. It did not resonate. Virginia Republicans came across as bizarre and detached from working class families.

Bolts is doing really great and important work. Please support independent and nonprofit media. We need their journalism. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

“Do you recognize that sandwich?”

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?"

This whole thread and trial is like a Tim Robinson sketch

“If and when public media outlets are forced to cut their signals for good, millions of Americans—including many who cast their ballots for this administration—will be left in the dark,” writes @1mabl.bsky.social in his latest.

The White House is now trying to walk back the president's threat. Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said the administration is "fully complying" with the court order.

🎉 Hey Neighbor, the City Cast Seattle pod is LIVE! And as if launching on Election Day wasn’t absurd enough, our first guest is a puppet and possibly Seattle’s funniest government critic: Seattle Channel (aka SC, for short). seattle.citycast.fm #seattle #seattlepodcast #seattlenews

New from 404 Media: CBP has quietly launched a facial recognition app for local cops to do immigration enforcement. Scans their face, tells cops whether to contact ICE about this person or not. A truly rapid expansion of ICE's facial recognition app to local cops www.404media.co/cbp-quietly-...

MTG yukking it up with the hosts of The View is not something I would have ever expected.

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this. can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

The community in Oregon stepped up and thanks to public support, @opb.org was able to close a $5M budget gap created by the rescission of federal funds for public media. It will be tough in smaller markets, but I am glad to know people still care about public media. Congrats to this newsroom.

The Dark Lord Sauron, once known as Mairon, servant of Morgoth under the name Gorthaur, Annatar, Lord of Gifts, Zigûr the Wizard and Necromancer, Sorcerer of Dol Guldur—has endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

This is an excellent read
