I am once again dizzy from the awfulness of the billionaire and techbro capture of the media ecosystem.

what a tremendous loss—Lex’s leadership and commitment to taking risks and doing right by people with less power is so rare, and frankly, this way of working is no longer being resourced at the scale we desperately need
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Fuck Conde Nast for firing Teen Vogue's entire political reporting dept. I encourage all of you to cancel your subscriptions.
Appalling.

Accurate. Also a trashbag of a human being.
The corrosive techbro capture of the info landscape is really getting me down.

Social media can push us to the dark side, with negative content. A new study finds watching inspiring videos for just 3 minutes a day is on par with meditation for boosting mood and reducing stress.
Got 3 minutes? This habit may help boost hope and reduce stress

Hops help hope rise.

Go Mamdani go!
I have discovered Katseye and the song Gnarly really nails the mood of this moment.
That is so kind I might screen cap it and use it as a recommendation.
I’m glad you are in the world Jacob, and I’m glad I was helpful to you. <3
They are rowdy today. I have some time!

Watching as a guy like Nick Fuentes has built himself into a major force for right-wing politics has been wild. I wonder if TIME hadn't interviewed him years ago after the Unite the Right rally, boosting his profile, if he'd still have become famous.
America has no idea what's about to hit them. "Young Republicans" are fully steeped in neo-Nazi edge lord talking points. Fuentes is the present and future of the GOP. After Trump, this is the new form of MAGA. The establishment isn't built for this fight.

These chachis make me tired.
It is Saturday so lots of men on LinkedIn who are not recruiters are telling me a recruiter how recruiting works.

I love that so much!
The Carondelet factory whistle has had it with 2025 and sounds like we all feel.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
