This corporate decision is--and I want to be subtle and even-handed in my phrasing so as not to lose any of the important nuances--stupid.

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

DR. PHULL McGRAGA

Khashoggi's Ghost @urocklive1.bsky.social · 7d

Dr. Phil went full MAGA and tried to reinvent himself as a MAGA media mogul and culture warrior. Now his world is unraveling, his media company is laying off thousands and had to file for bankruptcy, and he's being sued for fraud. The whole plan is collapsing.

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 11d

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

You know when friends in a relationship split up and both host get togethers on the same day, and you go to one and see some friends who sided with that person, then a small group of you shuttle to the other’s and see those friends, and it’s more work and less enjoyment? Anyway I’m also on Mastodon.

Behold, a token remnant from an old, antiquated British institution. Often ridiculed for it's apparent lack of ability to relate to modern life and often accused of corruption.

Correcting strangers’ grammar uninvited is an act of hostility, so either jubilantly own that or don’t do it.

Just spent five and a half hours at the NYFF watching Rebecca Miller's Mr. Scorsese, a brilliant, definitive, revelatory portrait of the filmmaker that earned a roaring and well-deserved standing ovation. I truly didn't want it to end.* On Apple 10/17.

*Full disclosure: I am in it for 12 seconds.
