There's been a lot of layoffs in recent weeks. Putting out there that the @BostonGlobe -- which is profitable and growing and also a super fun place to work -- is hiring for a number of positions

1/The Globe Magazine did *not* "steal" the lesbian bar story from BARPod! I know firsthand that when our ep came out they were already on it. I didn't communicate this to Katie at the time b/c I didn't know this would become A Thing. My bad, but leave my hometown paper alone plz.
Whoops. Folks rightly pointing out I shouldn’t share a free version of The Globe story so I’m deleting!

Remember kids, if you won't pay for fantastically written viral articles on little covered slices of American life, there soon won't be any reporters to bring you more fantastically written viral articles on little covered slices of American life. Also, subs are just $1 today.
In Japan, mispronouncing a word gets you a quiet, polite correction.
In Boston, I tried to order the New England clam chowder.
My English failed. I ordered a calm chowder.
The waitress did not blink. She yelled to the kitchen: ONE CALM CHOWDER! KEEP IT PEACEFUL!
The cook yelled back: NO WAVES ON THIS ONE! SMOOTH AS GLASS!
The bowl arrived with two oyster crackers floating side by side, completely undisturbed.
I have eaten there sixteen times since. It is on the specials board now: Calm Chowder, fifty cents extra for zero turbulence.
Hey @Netflix: The first season has 10 episodes and you binge it in a week. The second season airs three years later with 8 episodes that come out in two random chunks six weeks apart for no reason. And by the time it airs, you've forgotten the first season anyway and it's not worth the time to go back and rewatch it.
There. Just saved you a crapton of consulting money. You're welcome.
Alguien se acuerda de este video que hizo el Manchester City en 2022, cuando el mundial fue en medio de la temporada y Haaland vio a todos sus compañeros yendo a Qatar y él quedándose en Manchester porque Noruega no se clasificó?
Hey FOIA nerds. We made the music video you didn't know you needed about how awful Massachusetts' public records law is.
You're welcome :)

Come work with me!!!!
We are hiring an indefatigable, well-sourced political reporter to join us for an exciting (and busy!!) election year + beyond 🧑💻https://t.co/vuPkgp567Q
Feeling gutted for those laid off at WaPo today, among them some of the most dedicated, hard-nosed journalists in the biz.
Wanted to share some openings we have at @BostonGlobe🧵
Sports investigative reporter: https://t.co/V4ysZZ3FQX
Medical reporter: https://t.co/9Ozveyx9uW
Detail from inside the gutting of the Washington Post:
300 journalists or so will be fired this AM at 8:30 AM (right now…).
They’ll be cut off from newsroom computer access at 9 AM.
Word got out about this yesterday afternoon.
Dozens of reporters & journalists worked late last night & early this AM to finish stories they had in process before being shut out.
That’s who works at the Post. No surprise.
<I interviewed these people — this is a good, valuable story. Let me just get it done…before I lose my job & worry about how to pay my rent.>
One last story.
