New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

This is very true, and there are a lot of really good reasons why. I think a huge part is that, due to age and not being born in the U.S., he doesn't have the Obama-as-template fixation that so many on the left think is the default for a "good" speech. bsky.app/profile/jame...
I have actually not seen Mamdani give a formal speech and what I’ll say is that unlike so many of his peers he is not trying to mimic anyone in his delivery. He is simply being himself and it is very effective.
I’ve been interested in political speeches for as long as I can remember. I’ve listened to nearly every inaugural and major address, and I’ve given tons of public speeches myself.
Zohran’s talent in this arena ranks among the best. He’s damn good. Hella good. Remarkably good.
Crazy to watch.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

A kid in the pizza place with me was like, “Do you know why they’re showing Christmas ads? Because people are getting excited.” And his mom responded, “No, it’s because of late capitalism.”

I’m not a solo RPG person at all, but this review has me dying to play this game. Maybe Lady Tabletop will send it to me next???
Spine is probably the best TTRPG I've read or played all year, and — unbelievably — it's a solo TTRPG. Find out how this remarkable piece of work changed me, even as I changed it! idlecartulary.com/2025/10/30/i...

I Read Games reviews are me reading games when I have nothing better to do, like read a module or write or play a game. I don’t seriously believe that I can judge a game without playing it, usually…

Now we're going to argue for days about whether the Dems are talking about the right issues, when the biggest issue is they're all talk. It doesn't matter if you focus on the Trump economy or defending LGBTQIA+ people if nobody believes you intend to do anything about any of it.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

If you think “No Kings” is not anti-imperial enough, take note. I took a Palestine sign to the first one and while I saw others, I got a lot of engagement from folks. Even if they’re organized by lib normies, these events need NOT be a ceiling. They’re a floor. Go raise the roof at them.
Can report back from the Charlotte No Kings that "free Palestine" is now, if not the normie lib position, then at least fully accepted among the normie libs. Lots of signs and flags scattered about, no apparent drama at all.

Hot take: Unless it's Archduke Ferdinand or something, I truly never need a push notification about a famous person dying. Maybe the textbook definition of "it can wait!"

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.
