Disney layoffs have substantially impacted FiveThirtyEight. I am sad and disappointed to a degree that’s kind of hard to express right now. We’ve been at Disney almost 10 years. My contract is up soon and I expect that I’ll be leaving at the end of it.

I've spent 9.5 years at FiveThirtyEight, but won't make it 10. I was laid off today as part of Disney's cuts. My colleagues and I built a website out of nothing, and journalism changed because of it. There are worse legacies. More reflections to come once things shake out.

Like many others at FiveThirtyEight, I was laid off today as a part of the Disney cuts. I've grown so much as an editor during my time here, and I'm very sad to see it come to a close. It's been the best job I've ever had.

Hey y’all: I just found out I’ve been laid off from @fivethirtyeight. I’m sad, but absolutely *loved* the work I did for the site. I’m still processing today’s news, but am eager to find a new reporting job covering race and politics — ideally staying remote. My DMs are open!

I got laid off from FiveThirtyEight today. I've loved every second of my time here since day 1. This newsroom is full of great, kind, compassionate, funny people who have changed the landscape of data journalism. It's sad to see it suffer greatly with Disney's layoffs.

Today has been a rough day for FiveThirtyEight – like many others, I just found out I was laid off. Absolutely loved working here with some of the kindest, smartest, most dedicated friends & colleagues. It's been such a pleasure. Hit me up if you know of any data journo roles!

More thoughts to come later (as well as a long thread acknowledging all the amazing people I've gotten the chance to work with), but I've been impacted by the FiveThirtyEight layoffs today. I've loved everything I've created for this site and am going to miss it very much.

Well gang, I've officially been laid off from FiveThirtyEight. It was truly an honor to work with some of the kindest and smartest folks in the biz

It has been an amazing run at FiveThirtyEight but I was laid off today. I have deeply loved working on this team. My editors and coworkers past and present have been amazing and I have done so much work at this site that I am incredibly proud of. Anybody need a science writer?

It happened. I too am part of the FiveThirtyEight layoffs. It’s been an absolute honor to be a member of this newsroom. This is one of the kindest, smartest teams I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Longer appreciation post coming soon. For now, just gonna hug my friends.

Haven't tweeted for a few but I was laid off from FiveThirtyEight yesterday so it's time. Many thanks to Andrei Scheinkman Nate Silver and Micah Cohen for hiring me eight years ago and giving me this opportunity.

Back on Twitter for a bit to share that I was also laid off from FiveThirtyEight yesterday 💔 My background is in audience engagement for newsrooms, but I'm hoping to move away from social media-centered roles. Here's what I'm looking for:

We're at the midway point in the #WNBA season, so I decided to write my own WNBA Elo model and publish a forecast page to share the results! The Las Vegas Aces are runaway title favorites, but the New York Liberty and Connecticut Sun each have a puncher's chance. ryanabest.com/2023-wnba-pred…
