As the wise @karenho.bsky.social told me for this piece: “Any journalist of color I know with a tough childhood would not be given a book deal to write about blowing up their life and career to sext with a Kennedy and then a job at Vanity Fair.”
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

Cheney is the poster child of the Leopards-Eating-My-Face Party. He spent decades building a system that would allow a dictatorial Presidency, and then was appalled that Trump got to be in charge instead of an olde-time apparatchik
Moderates can try and launder Dick Cheney all they want, but he was a murderous war criminal who laid the tracks for Trump and overt fascism.
We live in Cheney’s America, god help us, and it’s on us to dishonor him by undoing the damage he caused.

The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Kroger has shut down four Colorado locations as grocery strike begins.
The UFCW just launched these initial walk outs, but the strike could grow dramatically and spread across multiple strikes.
Over 100,000 supermarket workers have authorized strikes across the West and PNW.
