journos self-organizing is a parody - i was listening to a Vice gaming podcast where one of the hosts mentions a recent big fight between Vice management and the employees's union was whether the union could have a holiday party on-premise

lol this is pitiful

quote:

For Robinson’s part, he argued the emotion came from a frustration in what he thought was “an erosion of the vision [he] had when [he] co-founded the magazine” five years ago. Specifically, the erosion was in their revenue — subscription growth had flatlined and web traffic was declining. He felt the magazine wasn’t putting out its best work, was becoming “a little bureaucratic,” and “just didn’t have a clear sense of its mission.”

“I think that kind of frustration boiled over,” Robinson said, “and I did something that was irrational and impulsive and did not respect the colleagues who have given so much to the magazine and that I basically immediately regretted.”

The day after the Zoom, the staff had two planning meetings for the next year of the magazine and its in-house podcast. But Robinson cancelled those in an email, adding “further information to come.” The further information, it turned out, was that Silcox had been removed from Slack. As had another employee. Here’s Gauthreaux:

quote:

It was one by one. I got a text from Allegra saying “I can’t get into Slack.” Someone else said, “Oh, neither can I.” And then I was still in the Sack, but I called Nathan and I said “I don’t know what’s going on. Do you want to tell me what’s going on?” And then I just asked him, “Do I still have a job?” And he said: “No, I’m afraid not.”

For the next few hours, the staff said “it was absolute chaos.” No one knew who was staying or leaving. They were in the middle of a print issue — some first drafts had already come in. Eventually, Gold, Silcox, and Gauthreaux each received emails from Robinson asking for their immediate resignation.

Technically, he wasn’t allowed to fire them. A few months earlier, the staff had implemented an “employment protection policy” — which required that Robinson implement a two-week performance plan for any firing other than “harassment or gross misconduct.” The emailed requests, Silcox said, reflected “some awareness” that he couldn’t legally fire them.

Robinson’s emails included some “extremely nasty things” about their performance, their dedication to the magazine, and how they had disappointed him. But within 24 hours, he sent them all apologies, saying — by way of Silcox’s paraphrase — “Okay, all the stuff I said yesterday was not true. I was trying to be as hurtful as possible.”

ostensibly, per the requirements of 'jury of your peers'

functionally, because it's even easier for whoevers got more money to run circles around a bunch of teenagers than it is to run circles around a bunch of average jury members

i'm thinking it's an episode of parks and rec where they find the kid messing up the park and his trial is by teen jury. leslie has some kind of award from her own time as a teen juror and thinks the kids will take it as seriously as she did only to find out that they do not in fact care at all and the kid gets let go despite overwhelming evidence

The one credit I will give Biden here is that he is so stubborn that the withdrawal may stick, at least in terms of on the ground troops (we will be sanctioning them of course for no reason). With a more squishy Democrat I feel like they already would have been bullied by our evil, bloodthirsty media into starting Afghanistan part 2 already.

They left all that military equipment behind to drum up the reason for Afghanistan 2. but it won't be right now, that's not palatable

I was on mock trial in college. What I learned is that most professional judges and lawyers are dumbasses who can barely follow a carefully constructed narrative thats been practiced and honed for months like a play

Also they're sexist as gently caress. A hot girl will *always* score higher as a witness but usually lower as an attorney

Nix Panicus

Also its hilarious the amount of people tripping over themselves to give Biden credit for being so presidential and sticking to the withdrawal, as if he had a choice while they're still trying to evacuate. If Biden has managed to keep the American dick out of Afghanistan by this time next year I'll give credit.

And earlier 'based Biden' was trending because Biden is going after anti-mask mandates, which is great, but its also like three months too late to matter.
