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.

thank you "hell gate nyc" for this very good interview explaining the fuck shit currently happening inside this office
How did a relatively standard union action spiral into four terminations and even more suspensions? Just ask the executives at Condé Nast.

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.

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

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)

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.
