if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

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.

the password to the louvre surveillance server was "louvre"

www.thesocialpost.it/2025/11/02/f...

according to the liberation newspaper, documents dating back to a 2014 inspection by the French National Agency for the Security of Computer Systems reported a staggering detail: "the password of the louvre's video surveillance server was simply " louvre. "

Capitalism decided money was speech and more money meant more access to speech, that money is legitimacy and respectability and accuracy, and then it asks us to engage in good faith with “the news”.

They made cynicism a survival strategy. This is a death spiral.

He (David Byrne)’s a genuine eccentric,” says Eno. “He’s always been exactly like that, and I’ve seen him remain like that in quite extreme situations. For instance, we were mugged together once in New York. It was quite frightening; we were mugged by 14 people. My enduring memory is of David being dragged off into the bushes, saying ‘Uh-oh!’ That’s absolutely true; it was like a cartoon scene.”
Brian Eno

It’s wild how casually we say “42 million people are on SNAP” like that’s just a normal statistic.

That’s 12% of the entire country—in the richest nation on earth—relying on government help just to eat.

That shouldn’t be a data point we shrug off.
That’s a national emergency.
