The gutting of Teen Vogue, a publication which dared to treat its readers seriously and with respect, is an especially dispiriting day in old media's long, self-destructive forced march to nowhere
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I was hanging out with my friend Christian last night and he gave me a copy of his Element Kuuda tape on @hothamsound.bsky.social. So happy to have this.

It's BC Ferries all over again, and we all know how that worked out.
I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.

Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.
The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.

This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

I hope I don't sound naïve here, but I don't think this project to turn Charlie Kirk into a combination of Mr. Rogers and Gandhi is going to work

Did America mourn Melissa Hortman? I don't remember the paper of record doing this shit for actual civil servants gunned down for their work?

Is it bad Charlie Kirk got murdered? Of course it is. Is the majority of America that he expressed nothing but hate for mourning? Fuck you.
These people are on another planet.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

I am genuinely confused by all this pageantry. He was not an elected official. I cannot think of another time a regular citizen being killed garnered this response. It’s perverse.

He was just, like, a guy. Not a politician. Not a statesman of any kind. Just some really mean guy. Flags at half mast. Yankee moment of silence. Whatever the shit this is.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
not even surprising at this point

The absurd part is that I can’t think of anything LESS time sensitive than books. I’m constantly picking up a book that a 20, 60, 140 years old because somebody got me interested.

Ditto for Music crit.
Worst thing to happen to book crit was getting mercilessly synced to pub dates. writer gets 97% of the coverage they're ever getting by the end of week 2, & if the book is widely reviewed (positive or not) in prestige places some of your would-be audience burns out on takes & skips the book itself.

You go into the forest, they don’t even got real birds singing anymore. There’s a guy hunched over behind a tree making the bird noises on a synthesizer! I shouted at him “Hey you, what happened to all the birds?” He ran off into the bushes. I was wearing sandals so I didn’t follow him.

If you're in Vancouver, this is tonight! Come browse the shop, buy a record, and marvel at the sound of someone who actually knows how to play an instrument. Not to be missed.
