Starbucks is breaking up with San Francisco. I spoke to politicians and specialty coffee folks on what that means for the city.

Without federal funding, public media — and the truth-telling, community-connecting role it plays — is at risk.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.
However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
STRIKE AVERTED
only 5 days left in our current CBA. we need a fair contract
Only 7 more days until the Vox Media contract expires! #OneUnionOneContract
We're down to the wire, folks! Only 7 days remain till our contract expires, and Management is STILL refusing to bargain meaningfully with us on most major issues including layoff procedures, salary increases, severance, health care, and the inclusion of The Dodo. It's like they WANT us to strike!
The Vox Media Union just delivered our strike pledge to Vox management, showing our unwavering commitment to securing a collective bargaining agreement that is fair. Should we not get a fair contract, we are prepared to strike.
anyway here's the email I sent to jim bankoff last week. i'm still heartbroken. I have been insanely, destructively angry for weeks, and I think I will be for a long time.
Imagine being Thomas Keller and thinking this was a normal way to behave!!!!!! www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaur...
Group photo of Sesame Street workers holding their firsts high with graphics showing the logo of their new union and the winning vote tally, 55-19
Sesame Street is officially UNION! Workers at Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, have voted 55-19 to join @opeiulocal153.bsky.social
Huge congrats to @sesameworkersunion.bsky.social! “We can officially say that today, May 15th, is brought to you by the letter U!”
As of today, Wednesday, May 14, 2025, Vox Media only has 30 days to negotiate a new contract with the Vox Media Union before our current one expires.
The state of specialty coffee and the perils of both speaking out and refusing to do so. Yes, the SCA and CQI deal is in here. open.substack.com/pub/attentio...
Clutch move by the Vatican to make the first American Pope an open hater of our highest-ranking fake Catholic
Nearly all of Polygon was laid off last week after Vox sold the company. Donate if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/support-po...
The maddest tweet you'll see all day
i wrote about writing and stories i wrote 😮💨😮💨😤😤 open.substack.com/pub/attentio...
if you can, consider supporting all the wonderful people brutally dismissed by Vox yesterday gofund.me/a21cbbdc
What happened with Polygon today is so fucked. Vox Media has made some atrocious decisions in my six years here but this is really something else. And to do this in the middle of us bargaining a new union contract, where they scold us for asking for better protections, is just unconscionable.
If you want to know how truly despicable this is, people are using the middle finger emoji to Jim Bankoff in the slack announcement of it, and they’re only doing that because there’s not a meaner emoji
Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists.
But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

Two NYT headlines stating the WH wants to promote more childbearing and the EPA is ending testing for chemicals that hurt children.
Two headlines in the New York Times today.
I’m the news editor for Chrysalis, and I’d love to get pitches on news stories from trans youth!
This is a v good piece, and touches on some of the same subjects I've written about over the past few years (namely the coffee industry's techy naval gazing and often hollow morality)
The coffee industry's backbone is in freefall. This is my thinking on the larger issues present
