(2 of 3) you skip past Trust and Trust-and-Verify to Until You Put It In My Fucking Hand, Nothing's Happened. Same rule if your negotiating partner or his agents lied to you in the past *even once*.
If your job concerns public opinion and public opinion's on your side, it's leverage—not irrelevent.

Real question bc there’s clearly a media culture thing here that I am not getting: Why are we not seeing citations to Sarah Kendzior, who has been on this exact beat for years? What is it about her and/or her work that has made it acceptable to ignore her?

I have an uncomfortable feeling that a lot of the dynamic politics coverage we've been seeing from WIRED isn't too much longer for this world.
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.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.
