As my general two cents: don't cancel your WIRED subscriptions.
Best culture, best newsroom of anywhere I've worked. I love the living shit out of these folks, and they don't deserve to be negatively impacted by a decision that was made by the parent company, not them. And it's only $2 a month.

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.
Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Best and worst was when I was 17 and working in an organic grocery store. A Tragically Hip song came on the radio and I started doing a very unflattering impression of Gord Downie (RIP). I looked up and suddenly there was Gord himself with a case of rice milk. I was mortified. He smiled and winked.
Just for fun, name your BEST and WORST celebrity encounter.
I won’t lie, I love to hear these, even when I don’t know the celebrity in question.

My six-year-old loves Robyn’s Call Your Girlfriend. Tonight she realized that it’s like her other favorite song, Jolene, except it’s Jolene singing the song. My kid is a genius.
