- Laying off 30% of a newsroom is awful on so many levels, but at bottom it's just inhumane. My last newsroom once cut 10% of its staff in a day and I felt like I was trapped in an hours-long, massive panic attack with hundreds of other people. I can't imagine what a layoff of this scale feels like.

- Don Lemon is charged with violating the FACE Act, a law that's supposed to protect abortion providers from violence. I've reported on the FACE Act and the fight over it for a long time. This is, to say a least, a new way of using it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

- Progressives should probably join this debate—if only because the right is all in on it—but this article doesn't mention that Scandinavian countries have extensive social safety nets AND declining birthrates. This isn't just a policy issue. It's also a phones issue. www.npr.org/2026/01/12/n...
- Reposted by Carter ShermanI spoke to women (and one man) about what they find so hot about Heated Rivalry. "The main reason I read MM is I just absolutely cannot stand reading or watching women suffer at the hands of men – in any way, big or small, anymore... We, as women, can just watch this and relax.”
- Because we also don't subsidize childcare the way other rich countries do, parents often rely on private child care centers—where workers tend to have low wages, no health insurance, and zero paid sick leave. If kids go to those centers while sick, those adult workers can get sick, lose wages, etc

- Reposted by Carter ShermanSo if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?
- Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?
