If you're a reporter interested in submitting a public record request to a university for a similar story, holler at me. I worked with Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press to tailor my record request. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…
And yet, oddly, in my many, many years as a national columnist, I did not receive a single corrective message from any of these lawyers. Now why might that be?
One thing I've noticed about the Canadian legal profession is the uncanny ability of lawyers to message me with complete confidence about something that is obviously, verifiably incorrect. Engineers don't really do this.
From graffiti to protests to band T-shirts, the phrase "be gay do crime(s)" has become a vital part of queer culture. @TheMaimann dives into the history and impact of being gay and doing crime xtramagazine.com/culture/be-gay…

The guillotine finally fell. After eight years I've been laid off from VICE News alongside a cadre of talented pals. It was a hell of a ride. Thanks so much for reading, watching, and listening to my work there. I hope you’ll be seeing it elsewhere sometime in the future.
I for one am excited to see what kind of scoops the c-suite of VICE can get now that the dead weight of the journalists are gone.
In a town hall with remaining staff today, Vice CEO Bruce Dixon said that news has a future at Vice. He gave the example of “a potential Vice sub brand under CNN, or how the Athletic’s relationship works with the NYT.” Last part is confusing - the Times acquired the Athletic?
It’s official! After 8.5 years at VICE, I’ve been laid off. It was a dream job, where I got to work with the most supportive editors and hilarious colleagues, who loved pushing boundaries. Despite the BS, I’ll treasure the memories forever. BIG OLE’ THREAD of some of my fav work:
Vice's greatest gift to media may have been that degree of hope Vice gave to (mostly) young journalists that they could have a career in journalism without being utterly dull. Count me as one of the dull-mongers who tried to draw some inspiration from their work.
Mainstream Canadian journalism has never known what to do with talent that doesn’t fit the box. Maybe the best thing about Vice Canada was the pathway it created for that talent. It unleashed a whole generation of smart, different journalists who might otherwise have been buried
Thank you, @defector
Vice was a good website. On Thursday it was killed by its private equity owners, in a characteristically cruel and sudden maneuver. defector.com/vices-avaricio…
I don't how to articulate how heartbroken I am. I have loved working at VICE, an outlet that took young reporters and the issues that mattered to us seriously, that said yes more often than it said no, a place where I met some of my best friends, all of them wildly talented
I love the vice newsroom and the talented, creative, and thoughtful journalists who tackled beats most places won’t touch—they, not the corporate drones who killed it, made vice VICE. Vice gave me my best friends and made me the journalist I am today. What a terrible day.
I was interviewed by @TheMaimann for the CBC to discuss extreme opinions in the political realm in the US, including swatting at hateful rhetoric. cbc.ca/news/world/us-…
