Welteroth was just 29 when Anna Wintour made her editor-in-chief. Months later, the magazine shut down. What did she do next?

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.

Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

They’re counting on you to sit this one out. Don’t give them what they want.

Get loud with your ballot. Drop it off today or hit the polls tomorrow ASAP.

Matthew Lillard from the "Scream" screening at Hollywood Forever:

“Fuck ICE! In this time, in this city, we need to lead with love. Do not forget that shit in this moment. Not to be political, but to be political as shit. Second of all: vote Prop 50. And if you don’t like that, I’m so not sorry!”

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

BEST SURPRISE EVER! The surprise appearance I realized I needed (their name doesn’t appear in the episode description).

My day was made when I heard Megan Kearns’ laughter popping in. A Megan-Jason episode?!?! Unmatched.

1985 might be one of the weirdest years in horror, half trying to cash in on the early-’80s boom, half inventing MTV horror.

What’s your pick from this lineup?
Murderlust
The Mutilator
The Hills Have Eyes II
The Ripper
Blood Tracks

The season you’re about to hear is an account of the last years of the slasher boom, which befell three film critics: Megan, Paul, and Jason. They could not have expected, nor would they have wished, to witness as much madness as they did that season.

The years were 1985 to 1989.
This is SLASHERS.
