Watching my fave Christmas movie #DiHard but wishing you Happy 2026 with a quote from #LOTR "But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. They kept going because they were holding on to something." -Samwise Gamgee

The Toronto Public Library attracts more fans than Taylor Swift: It's "a vital service with no entry fee [that] holds our city together," says @policyalternatives.bsky.social researcher Carolina Aragão, yet it needs more funding. The city and province can help: www.torontotoday.ca/local/politi...

Jezebel was a good website. Our statement:
GMG Union Statement on Today’s Layoffs Today, with no warning, G/O Media laid off 23 people across multiple outlets, including; Deadspin, Gizmodo, io9, Jalopnik, Jezebel, Kotaku, The Onion, The Onion Art Department, and Quartz. These layoffs are cruel and entirely preventable. Jezebel, which has been a pillar of fearless journalism and important cultural commentary since 2007, was shut down entirely. G/O Media management failed to undertake the range of cost-cutting options it had—like furloughs, voluntary reduced hours, staff buyouts, and executive pay cuts—before laying off employees. Some of these layoffs come immediately after sites have made other hires for the same pay rate, raising questions about whether the layoffs had any forethought or were merely done at the whims of a capricious CEO. It is particularly egregious that G/O Media chose to lay off journalists whose skills and beats are so valuable to the current political and cultural moment. By laying off writers and investigative reporters who focus on bodily autonomy, technology, climate change, and culture, the company has left itself unprepared to deal with the biggest stories of our modern world—stories that require a deft, knowledgeable hand in reporting. These cuts affect not only our network, but every reader who relied on this expert coverage to understand their own changing rights and place within the world. The layoffs, and specifically the closure of Jezebel, also underscore fundamental flaws in the ad-supported media model, where concerns about “brand safety” limit supporting content about the biggest, most important stories of the day—stories that generate enormous traffic because people read and share them. Rather than rethink this model, G/O management has decided to shutter the brand entirely because of its strategic and commercial ineptitude. Jezebel was a good website, and the journalists who worked there were exemplary, brilliant, and deserved better than to have their site shuttered with no warning. Each of the journalists affected were experts in their beat, and have worked for years to develop their voice and skills. They did not deserve to be arbitrarily laid off due to “restructuring” when options remained available to G/O Media. Some of the journalists affected include: From Gizmodo, Mack DeGeurin @mackdegeurin; mack.degeurin@gmail.com Nikki Main @nlmain1; nikkimain15@gmail.com Angely Mercado amercado92@gmail.com From io9, Linda Codega @lincodega; lhcodega@gmail.com From Jalopnik, Kyle Hyatt @kylejhyatt; info@kylehyatt.com From Jezebel, Kady Ruth Ashcraft @kady_ruth; kadyruth@gmail.com Kylie Cheung @kylietcheung; kyliec515@gmail.com Caitlin Cruz @CaitlinRCruz; caitlinrcruz@protonmail.com Audra Heinrichs @audraheinrichs; audraheinrichs16@gmail.com Rich Juzwiak @richjuz; richjuz@gmail.com Susan Rinkunas @susanrinkunas; susanrinkunaswrites@gmail.com Lauren Tousignant @L_tousignant; Lauren.tousignant@gmail.com From Kotaku, Ashley Bardhan @ashleybardhan; ashleybardhan@gmail.com Isaiah Colbert @shineyezehuhh; eyezehuhh@gmail.com
