100,000 people willing to pay you for news and you can’t make the math math.
I just keep thinking about the fact that the AJC has one hundred thousand digital subscribers and still laid off 15% of its staff this week.
How much money is enough? How many subscribers is enough? When is the blame purely on the execs instead of the journalists?

the most impactful thing Elon Musk has ever done or will ever do regarding science and innovation in this country is illegally cut billions of dollars of research funds for literally no reason

Oh, the guy who destroyed Tumblr In under a year? Nice work if you can get it.

I can't believe this is a real NYT headline. In addition to being the tech-bougie capital, SF has to have the most natural beauty of any major American city, right? The giant mountains and the lush forests and the drastic cliffs that overlook the Pacific.

It turns out that Resident Evil Village is a non-stop thrill ride. I’m only five years too late.

I’ve tried with Aladdin Sane for years, and it just never moves me. The last time I tried, I actively disliked it. And this is coming from someone who even likes Pin-Ups. Hmm. That lightning bolt maybe does mean no.

I remember a friend and I, both white dudes, wincing our way through that first trailer and saying yikes 30 times and invoking Birth of a Nation. It was that bad.
you almost sort of have to be impressed with Resident Evil 5 because it’s so racist that even some people in the 2008 version of western games media were like “yeah man i dunno about this”

Someone needs to make a prestige series about The Eagles, but turn the focus away from the music, thank goodness. The BTS business dealings of that band are their own Succession. More exciting than hearing the Felder/Walsh get heroics for the umpteenth time would be the story of their falling out.

The way Elton John pronounces "kid" (keed) on "Candle in the Wind" is insane, and it just shows the kind of power he had at the time. Nobody in the studio could stand up to him and say "this is an insane way to say the word 'kid.'"
