This week in @newyorker.com: All you need to know is that the name of the show is Blank Check.

I walked around the Museum of the Moving Image's new Mission: Impossible exhibit with the top minds behind @blankcheck.bsky.social to talk Tom, "Sinners," and Videology trivia.
Is the “Mission: Impossible” Series Tom Cruise’s “Blank Check”?

Last week, Condé Nast fired four staffers, including Jasper Lo, a senior fact checker at The New Yorker, in an act of illegal union-busting. Join us tomorrow at 6pm to demand that the company reverse this unjust and unlawful decision.

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Recent cuts at Condé Nast blindsided some top editors who were not briefed in advance of the changes to their staff, @nataliekorach.bsky.social reports. www.status.news/p/conde-nast...
Confronting Condé
Sudden union-related firings, coupled with another wave of layoffs, have left staffers questioning whether leadership understands the creative engines behind its storied publications.

You know that line from The Newsroom, where he goes "You know why people don't like liberals? 'Cause they lose. If liberals are so fucking smart, how come they lose so goddamn always?"

Anyway I just typed that from memory because I have a lot of occasions to think about it
It’s flabbergasting that you could pick just about any random American off the street and they would show infinitely more political willpower and courage than our entire cadre of alleged leaders and titans of business. We’re a nation occupied by a tiny upper class of cowards.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Senators believe enough Democrats are ready to reopen the government. The White House isn’t standing in the way of an emerging deal.

Once again I must remind everyone that I already trademarked “Ocean’s Eleven But It’s On That Casino Planet” so you can’t take that idea
ironically what makes star wars stuff best is when it is 'something else, but also star wars'

e.g. Andor, a British political thriller but also Star Wars
the Mandalorian, an episode-of-the-week Western but also Star Wars (when it was good)

conde nast fired the vp of new york newsguild for asking HR questions
More important to me than my identity, I am also the Vice President of the NewsGuild of New York, and targeting me with a blatantly retaliatory termination like this feels like an egregious shot against our union and against media workers as a whole.

Condé Nast's actions are in direct violation of our contracts and of labor law. Solidarity with our unjustly fired colleagues across the company. This is not over.
Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.
