I work at Vanity Fair!
Age verification? I went to camp so long ago, Jesus Christ was my counselor.
Age verification? My first computer screen was green.

I expect to see celebrities I don't respect in AI ads—but Matthew Broderick? Disappointed in you, Matthew.

I wrote about the slashing of the recommended vaccine schedule for children for @vanityfair.com because I think it's too tempting to read RFK as being off in his own wacky "wellness" world. In fact, his attacks on public health are an integral part of Trump's overall project.
RFK’s anti-vaccine project—part and parcel with the broader Trump agenda's ICE raids and cuts to health care subsidies and food stamps—is a program that seeks to completely overhaul the American population and redefine who gets to be an American, as well as who deserves health and safety
RFK Jr.’s Eugenics-Coded Crusade
Survival of the fittest—a concept that’s been twisted and abused since its birth—could be a Trump administration motto.

Obviously the most important thing you'll read today is my rant about how annoying it is when people call anyone they don't like a "nepo baby" www.vanityfair.com/credits/stor...
You’ve Been Using “Nepo Baby” Wrong All Along
The internet’s favorite insult used to mean something, argues Hillary Busis—before imprecision and overuse dulled its impact.

We were talking about how the kids didn't have school for some holiday and my stepfather was like, "well with that new mayor of yours, maybe nobody's going to have school anymore." I said, "I'm not totally sure what you mean by that?" and he said "you know what, actually I'm not either"

“Dismal,” “confused,” “demoralized,” “super fucked.”

That, as one reporter tells Vanity Fair, is the mood inside CBS News this week—all because of Bari Weiss, about 14 minutes of television that criticized the Trump administration, and a Canadian streaming service.

Before she stoked outrage by spiking a ‘60 Minutes’ segment about a notorious El Salvador prison, Weiss spent weeks lobbying Megyn Kelly to participate in a debate on feminism with ‘Call Her Daddy’ ho...

When you get interviewed multiple times over the course of a year and the interviews are recorded and you sit for formal photographs with a well known national magazine you definitely know it’s on the record.
CNN suggests Susie Wiles might not have known she was on the record 😆
