@Pammi___Council a mess.

[brandon sheats @sheatsb]

Dude couldn’t even run an arts org with an outsize, congressionally backed budget. Good luck on the next failure.

Let's just call autonomous pods and rideshares what they are - anti-social transit.

Designed to keep you in your own bubble, never experiencing the good mental friction that keeps critical thinking and social skills alive.

In ATL, it's giving the Monorail ep. of the Simpsons.

[Kelsea Bond 🌹 @KelseaBondATL]

Someone is making a lot of money tricking politicians into thinking pods are a good idea

@michaelmiraflor I think it's the beginning of a decentering of NYC. I keep seeing it in LA, Chicago, while NYC seems pensive but hopeful.

[kate wehwalt @mcmansionhell]

harper's gets the best essays because they are basically the only surviving publication that pays writers a shit ton of money to do something absolutely insane

[Tina Nguyen @tina_nguyen]

(Media) SCOOP: Weeks ago, the owner of the Washington City Paper had offered to purchase @washingtonpost's sports and local sections, keeping their desks alive.

The Post reporters were laid off and the desks were shut down instead.

More in this week's issue of Regulator...

[NEON @neonrated]

Not every journalist can be their own brand, business, and distribution channel. Its unsustainable for journalists AND readers

We saw this with streaming. Fragmentation and subscription overload drove costs higher than the bundled systems they replaced

That could happen to news

It’s not as simple as “everyone should just start a Substack.”

That’s a surface-level answer to a structural problem, and it ignores how media ecosystems, labor protections, and audiences actually work.

It’s a bandaid, not a serious solution.

The Hazel Scott Show lasted three months because she was blacklisted after appearing before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Hazel was only 30 years old and a superstar at the time. She lived another 31 years, but her career never really recovered from being exiled.

[Jazz at Lincoln Center @jazzdotorg]

Jazz at Lincoln Center announced today that, after nearly 40 years of visionary leadership, @wyntonmarsalis will transition from his current role at JALC.

i want people to understand that what you see on this website is not real life. dudes like this guy are far more representative of the median voter than people who keep spamming "yeah i voted for this" here and get 30k botted likes.

In Atlanta, always get the full receipt when you're out. More places adding 18-20% and just giving you the signature slip.
