I was acting as a union member and concerned employee when I questioned Stan Duncan, well within my legal rights.
I don't love pointing to my identity, but the company saying that I was behaving "aggressively" when I was calmly asking questions feels like a clear transphobic dog whistle.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee.
I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

This is while Square Enix is part of that group of Japanese companies demanding that OpenAI stop using their stuff. Not a single thing SE is doing makes any sense, and I don't see what the functional outcome of this could possibly be.
Square Enix wants 70% of its QA work to be handled by generative AI by the end of 2027, in partnership with the University of Tokyo's Matsuo-Iwasawa Laboratory. https://bit.ly/4qKdyQR

Absolutely correct.
There clearly *is* a social media site where the users are trapped in an unreal bubble that bears no resemblance to reality, but a lot of reporters are trapped on Twitter there with them so they just can't see it.

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

The corporate media keeps insisting that "HEY EVERYBODY, A RICH GUY SAID SOMETHING!" is worthy of news coverage but in most cases it really isn't.
New Yorkers had an election yesterday and a lot of them were fine with "Mamdani's talking points." I'm sorry Richie Rich isn't happy, but who cares?

*whispers* you can continue to read me, the pundit who insisted the other pundits were wrong about these conclusions
basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

I don’t “entirely“ agree with this.
Yes I think Dems should consolidate their coalition & non-white support.
Yes Dems can win without a “majority” of white voters.
No I don’t think we should give a pass to how white folks vote. Not when they systematically whine about how fucked their lives are now.

This is why I want folks to stop announcing how white folks voted every November. This is the norm, and we can win without the majority of white voters.
Focusing on winning white voters and not on building a winning coalition is white supremacy…
