Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

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.

I dislike that the terms for gen AI's development and deployment are largely being set by enormous and opaque commercial firms that are exporting their logic and incentive structures to the rest of the corporate and working world

This, essentially:

I have my problems with any Pope, by definition

But you gotta hand it to Papa Francisco for coining the phrase "theirs is the construction site of hell" in a description of American fascism and then dying almost immediately afterward

plenty of cultures value children, but the US is unique in valuing the *idea* of children while enabling violence against actual kids and keeping them in privation at every turn
there’s a lot going on here but one bit, where fash mom rants about “precious innocent children” that raises constant question I have - is there another culture that infantilizes and fetishizes the value of children so much? Is this a US thing? And I don’t remember it when I was young.
Everything about this from the lesbian teacher being married to lesbian cop to the other cops just letting the gun toting life threatening fashy mom just walk initially is so 2025 that I can't even stand it

With Disney releasing a Win or Lose episode about a trans character whose story they suppressed to trim down an openly transition-related plotline, it feels opportune to bring up a few executive notes Sue Rose got hit with whenever she and her crew added even slightly queer elements to Pepper Ann:
