conde nast fired the vp of new york newsguild for asking HR questions
More important to me than my identity, I am also the Vice President of the NewsGuild of New York, and targeting me with a blatantly retaliatory termination like this feels like an egregious shot against our union and against media workers as a whole.

Every bit of press this receives makes me happy and sad in equal measure.
And, also, shout out to baseball. Some of my favorite arguments with Steve were about dumb baseball minutiae. Mounting side bets that were never collected. Declarative statements of crap or not crap. It really is the best.

Overwhelming tower of compounding stress and bad life events lately, but one good thing to come out of it is losing the time for patient back-and-forth when boomers spout off ice & idf talking points and watching them stumble irl when confronted, very satisfying
