New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

A strong refutation of the criticism that Mamdani was just good at social media. Sure, there were TikToks, but he spent most of his time on the streets of New York meeting people.

do you think eminem got more or less fan mail after “stan”

So, yes. Bugonia is an absolute stunner of a film that perfectly captures what makes this new dark age of angry men, anti-intellectualism, and "doing your own research" feel so profoundly doomed. My review:

NEW: Almost a month into the government shutdown, and some federal workers are barely making it through. One fed, who spoke with @telliotter.bsky.social, is out tens of thousands of dollars waiting to be reimbursed for their husband's cancer care. More here: www.wired.com/story/federa...

lol we’re doomed

Good to have these foundations step up for literary arts.

Honestly @girinathan.bsky.social could blog about Medvedev every day and I would always read it

He's running

Yes please! Unexpected dream combo:

Desperate! Also maybe grounds for defamation? Is there precedent for putting words in someone’s mouth with AI?

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

It'll never cease to amaze me that wealthy people think we should be lining up and thanking them for... what exactly?

this is like the least racist thing karoline leavitt has said

give people the sequel they actually want (Second Cow)

We wanted to know what it was like to own a Cybertruck. So @zoeschiffer.bsky.social went to the desert got this absolutely amazing quotes (and Michelle Groskopf took the pictures!) www.wired.com/story/owning...

Proud to work for a publication that amplifies trans voices while recognizing the extraordinary danger inherent in being trans online. While other publications doubles down on biased, inaccurate coverage, The Verge recognizes that trans rights are human rights. www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

This @theverge.com package on what it means to be trans online is urgent and deeply moving www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

hey friends — if you haven't seen, The Verge is running a series on the future of being trans on the internet. it's got a bunch of very cool stories from talented writers! you should check it out www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

this is the dumbest shit i have ever read

Here I am, at The Verge, on how Internet censorship stands to cut closeted trans people off from their only safe spaces.

Delighted to be part of this package on the future of being trans online; thank you so much to ALL the trans comrades who helped shape this story. I hope I did y'all proud.

I wrote about trans visibility in a time of rising transphobia for @theverge.com www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

When I'm asked what editors do, I tell people we save writers from themselves. Just kidding—I just correct "less vs fewer" and make sure Pokémon has an accent mark.

ah yes, my safe word: László Krasznahorkai

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Working on this show was one of the most fun, collaborative experiences I’ve had as a producer. Psyched that we finally get to share, please look forward to new eps every Sunday! youtu.be/fjXXDGx5Ggg?...

If you have nothing to do next Saturday, I'll be at the Westport, CT library speaking about AI, Law and Cybersecurity with @knguyen.bsky.social at noon. westportlibrary.org/the-westport...

the right wing keeps accusing wikipedia of having a liberal bias when its actual bias is one they would love (videogames, sports, men)

"In journalism, you take muddy ideas and try to clarify them for the reader; a powerful thing you can do in fiction is take assumptions—things people thought were clear—and muddy them up." — @knguyen.bsky.social absolutely crushing it on @thedailyshow.com (!!!) www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

I feel very lucky that I got to talk about my Homeland-Security-mass-detention-Asian-American book on The Daily Show

Let's be clear: Trump's attacks on "antifa" are an attack on America. www.theverge.com/policy/79051...

when they tell you publishing is slow they mean S L O W i've been working on this for five years and we sold it six months ago but now i get to announce to the world! i'm writing a book! never say the word "talent" around me if you don't want a whole ass dissertation!!!!!

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

Great writeup by @thelincoln.bsky.social on how major book clubs—Oprah, Reese Witherspoon, George W. Bush's daughter—are warping the publishing industry. I would go further and say this influence is very, very bad!
