This is heartbreaking. Teen Vogue has done better journalism in the past ten years than WaPo and the NYT combined.

I realize that’s not a high bar, but again: TEEN VOGUE.

This couldn’t be more obviously a move to silence actual political reporting if they literally renamed them TRUMP’S TEEN VOGUE.

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.

You can come to the table with all the possible reasoned and supported arguments about GenAI's issues and why it is so destructive and corrosive, and you will lose the argument to the person who used it to write a piece of shitty code and argues that is magic.

Got to love universities.

“We need to respect the opinions of everybody who spoiled their vote”
Actually I think you’ll find that they spoiled their vote because we’ve lost the ancient art of telling people to cop on for themselves when they’re talking shite

If you are a non-Irish news outlet reporting that Ireland has a new left-wing President that's fine, but you need to also report that this is nothing new for Ireland and is in fact just the type of president we've been going for the last few rounds

Remember, respectability politics is a way to keep people in their place. This is incredibly petty, and again, when the worry about Catherine Connolly was that she would not be able to conduct herself at official events properly...

The Taoiseach is not coming to Dublin Castle for the official declaration of Catherine Connolly's victory in the presidential election.

Whether intended or not, it's going to look very confrontational for the head of government NOT to be there to congratulate the new head of state

The story and success of this election is left unity, sticking to your values and being authentic (and keepy uppies of course).

I hope left parties learn from this because it has been inspiring to see what we can accomplish working together.

I love an Irish General election. You can keep Jake Tapper striding through a VR map like a Colossus. I don't want Wolf Blitzer using a touchscreen to show voter turnout.
Give me a frazzled RTE reporter coming live from a playschool in Offaly watching votes being added with a pencil for two weeks.

Meu Brasil, quando o Eduardo Leite começar a fazer campanha política e se gabar que deu aumento pros professores, eu quero que vocês saibam que o aumento foi: Quarenta (40) conto no VR e um uniforme.

Como "presente" de dia dos professores.

The hatred of Greta Thunberg by a virulent core of middle-aged white men is a crystallisation of social media misogyny in general: It’s jealously combined with an inability to tolerate (or even understand) a woman in the public eye whose existence is defined by anything other than her sexuality.

Instead of giving us reasons why Heather would actually be a good president, it seems the sole focus is just to attack Catherine's character. It's almost as if... there's no reason why Heather would be a good president...

German study shows how far right sets agenda thanks to mainstream parties reshaping their communications to respond to what are initially fringe issues, boosting the spread of these ideas and signalling to voters that these ideas and stances were legitimate

German far right setting agenda as opponents amplify its ideas, study finds

Normalisation of far-right stances likely to affect success of such parties at ballot boxes across Europe, say researchers

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.
