To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

This is not a dunk, I'm quoting bc this sentiment comes up a lot:
If your goal is to support the workers, never, ever, ever start boycotting or pull funding from a product or company until the union asks you to. It is a VERY powerful tool that is unintentionally undermined by early cancellations.

Firing people for the crime of asking why you fired people feels like an HR violation.
Yesterday, 12+ Conde Nast staffers went to Stan Duncan, Head of HR, to ask questions about the Teen Vogue cuts.
Duncan told them to "return to work."
Hours later, 4 were fired for the "extreme misconduct" of ... trying to ask Duncan questions.

The firings were an unsubtle message to its employee union that the publisher was taking a harder line in its dealings with employees.

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office.
Democrats swept all 13.
That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular).
They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.
