Condé staff work overtime to break news about Elon Musk’s government takeover at WIRED, develop new recipes at @bonappetit.bsky.social + cover the Grammys for Vanity Fair. We go beyond for our jobs, but Condé Nast is making us commute 4x/week just to check a box—& can’t even provide enough workspace

Jimmy Carter’s casket arrived earlier at the Capitol rotunda, where he will lie in state until Thursday. What a beautiful photo. Rest in peace, President Carter.

My Niger Deltan ass just says “shwo!” or the more common, “Na wa!”
I think everyone should get to know the west African term “wahala”.

It generally means “chaos”, “confusion”, or “drama”. A clusterfuck.

I’ve been on a mission for years to use it more regularly in my work.

Because—- *gestures at everything*

See wahala?!???
