What the New York Mag Union really thinks about our company’s desire to potentially replace us with AI (TLDR, it’s not great):

We’re ready for New York Magazine management to come to the table with compensation that reflects the cost of living, relief for our overworked members, and AI job protections. A better future in media is possible!

A small group of city officials including prosecutor Stewart Rosenwasser and Orange County district attorney David Hoovler thought they were untouchable — until Eman Soudani’s quest for freedom exposed how their network really worked. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

Since last March, New York Mag Union has been negotiating a new contract. But @VoxMedia has refused to meet us halfway on basic issues including giving us meaningful wage increases, controlling health care costs, and offering reasonable protections around AI in our workplace.

Despite our willingness to compromise, management has rejected our sensible proposals again and again. Enough is enough. 97% of our members have signed onto a pledge to do whatever it takes to get a deal, including a potential work stoppage.

Thank you Chris Hayes, Council Member Chi Ossé, David Roth Read Max, and counting...

5,000 New York Magazine readers & counting have told @VoxMedia they plan to stand with New York Mag Union if we walk out. Tomorrow, we're back in bargaining. The time for a fair deal is now. If you haven’t signed, tell Vox you support New York’s 150 union members: nymagunion.org/reader-pledge

New York Magazine readers stand with New York Mag Union because:

📣📣WE HAVE A DEAL!📣📣 Last week, New York Mag Union reached a tentative agreement with New York Magazine and Vox Media. We could not be prouder of our members who made it clear they were ready to withhold their labor if @VoxMedia didn’t meet them with a fair contract.

SNL is 50, Lorne Michaels is 80, and I tried to talk to people in his universe to understand Lorne, his power and influence in the entertainment world—and what happens if and when he ever moves on from the show he created: vulture.com/article/snl-fu…

my goodness

SNL 50 is over. What's next for the show and for Lorne Michaels? My New York Magazine feature on the show's present and future: vulture.com/article/snl-fu…

It's pub day for Disposable! This book would not exist if it were not for my courageous sources, who trusted me with deeply painful moments in their lives. I'm so grateful to them and to everyone who's supported me over the last several years. bookshop.org/p/books/dispos…

I learned so much I didn't know about MLM's from Bridget Read's book and can't recommend it enough for anyone interested in Understanding Our World (or conducting a pyramid scheme of your own.) Buy it! penguinrandomhouse.com/books/715421/l…

I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit. Thanks Merope for being the most patient and generous editor. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

I went to Kyoto to figure out how to travel now that we live in the age of overtourism—too many people with too much money and too few places they all want to go. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

"but they hadn’t opened these small, cozy restaurants to serve people they would never see again" Really interesting point about Japanese bars and restaurants refusing foreign tourists in Kyoto. Some business owners derive great meaning from building community and relationships.
