Some personal news—

Today is my last day with Forbes.

Incredibly thankful to have worked with such talented colleagues.

Easily the most fulfilling 5 years of my career.

Seems like the perfect time to leave too, as Trump II has been pretty quiet on the ethics front.

Pam Bondi bringing up a booming stock market in response to a question about child predation may not be as non sequitur as it seems, since those same men are no doubt also benefiting from the booming market. She might as well have responded, “These are very wealthy predators, you understand.”

Also, please follow and support @forbesunion.bsky.social !

I started at Forbes just before the newsroom voted to certify. Five years later, we still don't have a contract.

That needs to change. Many reporters there haven't had a raise in years.

High-key pumped for the new job I’ll be starting in a couple weeks—and, yes, it does involve Trump’s conflicts of interest.

(At this point, I’m not qualified for any other job, except maybe organ donor.)

But first, two weeks off!
