I don't know anyone who worked with this man and wasn't at least a little in awe of his brilliance as an editor and writer. There's really no one like him. What a shitty industry. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

Tom Scocca is one of the most careful, intelligent, incisive writers and editors I have ever worked with. The human toll of the collapse of the journalism industry haunts this (excellent) story.

What Trump's economic populism was really like: making it easier for companies to hide workers’ injuries, to avoid paying them for overtime, to take a slice of their tips, to misclassify them as independent contractors, and to prevent them from organizing huffpost.com/entry/trump-fi…

NEW: Shri Thanedar came to DC with a rags-to-riches story. But he's losing staff, alienating colleagues and spending taxpayer $$ on what some call naked self-promotion.

A Dem member called it a “uniquely difficult situation… it feels like a wasted spot.”

The model for this move is the Battery Atlanta, a suburban entertainment district anchored by Truist Park. Cobb County leaders promised the “biggest economic development deal in our county’s history.”

National Retail Federation report last spring: “‘organized retail crime’ was responsible for half the $94.5B in store merchandise” stolen. I fell for it. In fact: about 5%. And “in most major cities, shoplifting incidents have fallen 7% since 2019.”
