"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

i've been a staff writer (as opposed to freelance) for 4.5 years but maybe i can learn from my freelance self because when you're freelancing you have to have a very concrete, concise pitch for everything you write, whereas now i'm like "i'll write something about AI and mental health!"

For those who don’t know, Lina Khan gave tech bros hell AND her ass to kiss when she was FTC chair. She was busting monopolies left and right. Gave Amazon and Meta the finger too.
This is an EXCELLENT addition to his team.
