OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

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.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Today feels like a good day to remind everyone that there is literally no empirical evidence that economic growth will just continue if the world heats up to, say, 3°C by 2100.

Continued growth is just *assumed* in every economic model of the relationship between temperatures and growth.

“Did women ruin the workplace?” is of course wildly misogynistic. But beyond that, this framing assumes the nostalgic version of “the workplace” was good and awesome and worth maintaining. I hope women have ruined the workplace. Let’s go, girls!

While there is uncertainty about the deployment of the National Guard in Chicago at the moment, there already is U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity targeted at the unhoused community. Here’s what you should know about your rights when encountering ICE agents if you’re unhoused.

And three, it insinuated that political journalism doesn’t belong in a magazine geared largely toward young women
I was always annoyed at comments like, "Even Teen Vogue is covering this better than the NY Times."

Because, one, Teen Vogue has been consistently excellent at political coverage for a decade.

And two, it reinforced the outdated idea that legacy outlets are the best model for political journalism.

This is devastating
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
