New: I talked to some staffers who are currently in Condé Nast 'purgatory,' on a provisional layoffs list but doing 'centralized' work spanning brands until their union and management eventually come to an agreement hollywoodreporter.com/business/busin…

Condé Nast has literally put all these brilliant varsity tier staffers (and also me) in a rubber room to do book reports, that's how badly the management is handling basic labor relations

For the roughly 100 workers who have recently joined Condé Nast’s “central editorial group,” work has taken a bizarre turn in the last few months. hollywoodreporter.com/business/busin…

'The most logical explanation is that she’s dressing like a children’s entertainer, which…well.' deezlinks.com/p/you-can-tell…

new rule of thumb .... when you choose a twitter profile pic, be sure to ask yourself 'what will it look like as the hero image on a tabloid story'

I read about the crazy French buffet and now I want to go to the French buffet..... the first availability is in November ..... are you guys developing the same vision for thanksgiving that I'm developing

If you want a story about a ballerina sex doll who becomes a real woman and joins a revolution, read “Owlish,” by Dorothy Tse!

Anyway lord bless this take.

i hate karaoke haters

had a FUN ONE for Fast Company: i interviewed THE delia of Deez Links and her newest passion project 'Hate Read' that is testing the internet's boundaries between hate and criticism fastcompany.com/91089952/deez-…

This has been a fun series. Also an interesting document regarding style shifts in this type of thing between ~2006 and now. The older version was much better fwiw and more self assured. Some of these haters sound like they don’t mean it.

karaoke in a foreign country though? transcendent. plus people never pick the songs you think they'll pick

finally saw dune 2 last night and I think there should be a planetarium cut. SURROUND ME IN IT DENIS

What if karaoke sucks ..... deezlinks.com/p/its-like-a-c…

Since we’re all talking about mean criticism, I talked to delia and Niko Stratis about HATE READ and what we lose when critics pull their punches open.spotify.com/episode/3u84Pr…
