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.

Hey. "No Other Choice" is the best film I've seen all year. I've seen some good ones, which is rare this year, as I'm usually a year or four behind.

Every decade, we hear "the kids can't read or write!"
Interventions that don't work are proposed. Those that do work are ignored: reducing class sizes, making kids & families feel safe at school and welcome, becoming a community resource.
When their expensive reform fails, they yell at us again.

I can't recommend getting goofy drunk in St. Louis more. It's certainly not the alcohol at the bar and restaurant in the basement of this novelty British Lit hotel talking and truly the ambience of the city.

Hey, I'm going to be honest, I've had some rotten luck these last couple months. About three different projects got cancelled, so, if you need covers, pages, posters, album art, and you like my style, please consider hiring me.

Not an exaggeration, that’s literally Bhattacharya’s plan.

I used to post on Myspace how we would convenience ourselves into extinction. At some point I assumed we'd stop and fight it. COVID showed me otherwise.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.

Hot tip for artists— u can get refurbed Cintiq 22HDs (typically old ones used by schools) on eBay for like $250. They’re nice and big screen tablets and despite being an older model work great. It’s a nice alternative if you want a professional tablet but can’t afford any of the nicer new ones!
