Condé Union @condeunion.bsky.social · 7h

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Statement from The NewsGuild of New York and Condé United
on illegal firing of four union leaders who demanded answers about this week’s layoffs at Teen Vogue, other brands

Through these illegal terminations, Condé Nast management is attempting to intimidate and silence our members' advocacy for the courageous cultural and political journalism of Teen Vogue, as well as diverting attention away from the obvious lack of corporate leadership at the company.
Condé United members illegally fired are:
Alma Avalle: Writer, digital producer at Bon Appetit; NewsGuild of New York first vice president, trans activist, and union leader
Jake Lahut: Wired senior reporter covering the Trump White House
Jasper Lo: Senior fact checker at The New Yorker and US Army veteran: outgoing first vice chair of The New Yorker Union
Ben Dewey: Videographer at Condé Nast Entertainment, former vice chair of the CNE unit

We represent nearly 6,000 media workers across the tri-state area and we stand firmly in solidarity, ready to fight for the rights of our members illegally fired from their jobs at …

If you're in need of positive and rather wholesome news, there's a high school teacher named Bryan who took a ton of freely licensed celebrity headshots at the New York Film Festival last month for Wikipedia, and I truly can't believe how drastic the upgrade is for some articles (thread)

Has any airline been experiencing other than "higher than expected call volume" in the past decade? Maybe at some point you should begin expecting it

Government has published one of those quiet but important documents that might get overlooked as it is not 'newsy'. The headline finding is that £1 of public R&D investment generates £8 in net economic benefits for the UK over the long term

i'll also write up docs for this so you could build your own customized #haskell playground based on ghc api in the browser with your own packages. it'll take a while, stay tuned!

This is not a drill: GHC (the #Haskell compiler) now runs in your browser. See the announcement (and please report any bugs) here: discourse.haskell.org/t/ghc-now-ru...
