Wegmania! | Jeff Weinstein
Wegmans fancies itself “local.” But while it’s drawn near-rabid excitement from brand loyalists, it doesn’t truly serve the place it calls home.

I am sorry if this goes against J-school indoctrination, but I also think journalists must get comfortable taking a side.This is important because one side of the government does not think journalism is a legitimate practice. If you want to keep practicing journalism, you have to pick a side.

This is a fantastic piece
An absolutely perfect piece from @mollycrabapple.bsky.social
"To be a socialist meant to be a human, to affirm that there was more to life than the brutish quest for coin. Not just wages, but dignity. Not just bread, but roses too."

When I look at Mamdani, I don’t see some radical departure. I see him as an heir to the Yiddish socialism that helped build New York

i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.
