“polyamory is cringe” “being bisexual is cringe” “nonbinary is cringe”….. all these people exist and are normal in the real world. your sample is simply skewed to people who talk about these things online. posting is cringe. that is the connecting thread.
You can kiss a hundred
i have been reporting on protests for 5+ years now and this is part and parcel of what we saw coming — the inevitable result of Democrats and Republicans alike demonizing, prosecuting, and permitting assaults on left/progressive protesters from 2020 onwards
New: I talked to some staffers who are currently in Condé Nast "purgatory," on a provisional layoffs list but doing "centralized" work spanning brands until their union and management eventually come to an agreement hollywoodreporter.com/business/busin…

You should be able to apply to be a company's Don Draper. I don’t mean their creative director, I mean like you take a lot of naps in your office and just occasionally say things like "What does America want..."
There are a lot of issues with The Cut story, but no one can argue this paragraph isn't true, and it is exactly how I explain why I have no desire to date again.
Just remember: Kate won't see your tweets about how you feel bad about those jokes, but your friends who run typically conniving and occasionally disastrous PR operations on behalf of monarchies will.
The culture of seniors congregating in public spaces is non existent here due to their reliance on cars for social mobility. Most seniors are isolated because the built environment we created made it that way. It didn’t have to be like this.

25-year-old Aaron Bushnell self-immolated outside the Israeli embassy last Sunday. since then, his final words were censored, his life reduced to discourse about “mental illness” over his act of protest. I wrote what we know about Aaron’s life @TeenVogue teenvogue.com/story/aaron-bu…
there are those who don't understand the urgency of a crisis until the crisis is directly at their doorstep, impacting their lives in a material way. But anyone willing to come alive to the potential of collective power is welcome in the struggle. honored to have you, comrade.
absolutely fucked that @CondeNast is barring laid-off Pitchfork and WIRED workers from freelancing for the company. couldn't be more despicable #IStandWithCondeContracted #P4KWired
the apocalypse is not one big terrifying day. the end of empire doesn't happen in one moment. it's this, right now: the government doing so many terrible things at once that we can't keep track. it's not being able to afford food. it's our taxes going to harming each other.

I’ll say this a former NPR employee (13 years!): one of the hardest parts of being a public-facing journalist there is the brand itself. Preserving the brand, living up to the brand’s expectations, dealing w/EVERYONE’S opinions about what the brand should be. I don’t miss that!
Serious intellectual production can and does happen outside of the academy. Famously!
Academics stop having a “noble savage” attitude towards the public challenge: impossible
my take on academic vs non academic writing is that most of us who write for a public audience also went to grad school and know how to do research and personally I would prefer not to be talked down to like some kind of hapless idiot because I didn’t decide to stay there forever

If you're early in your career, and negotiated your salary (or benefits, or remote work), I'd love to include a short tip for those doing this for the first time from you in a column! Email or DM a line or two of your best advice: [email protected]
in david foster wallace's archive, he wrote to this like ex-IRS guy & asked "how many ppl not paying their taxes would it take for society to collapse?" & the guy was like "listen, we studied this extensively & we know the answer & nobody will ever tell you the answer."
from chappell roan going mainstream and rosalia and hunter schafer dating in 2019 being confirmed to billie's new song about eating a girl out and renee rapp bringing the L word cast to introduce her on coachella. this is the year of the lesbians the rest of you do better
Chappell Roan's growth has been ASTRONOMICAL over the past few months – I knew she was a star when I first heard her in 2022, and I'm so happy that others feel the same way!
these were taken a month apart to the day.. 😵💫

Condé Nast has literally put all these brilliant varsity tier staffers (and also me) in a rubber room to do book reports, that's how badly the management is handling basic labor relations

I wish pursuing human connection did not entail such an incapacitating level of shame
there's a very simple way to determine which writers and thinkers are better than others: create an arcane and elaborate national examination system relying on centuries-old poetic references and then give everyone who excels at it a hierarchical position in the government
oh there's a new issue? should we throw a party? should we invite [sound cuts out]
no one is really smart enough to be properly elitist anymore, which is probably why there’s a lot of weird anxiety around it. the stakes are hilariously low
For the record, I sensed immediately that Lauren Oyler bragging about knowing the artists in a museum was clearly trolling. Now we have proof
