Amid the ongoing national trend of younger union members agitating for strategic control of their companies rather than things like greater pay or workplace safety, the NYT Writer’s Guild has embroiled itself in conflict over the paper’s coverage of Hamas (from what I can tell: management believes weaponized rape worthy of coverage, while many union members believe such raping requires further context). Of course, nothing a large, successful company produces can be done so democratically, which means we finally have some good news: teams across the country that cave to the Zoomer Brown Shirts will eventually go out of business, while teams most resistant to this strange new kind of union will become more powerful. And as a man who Trusts the Science? This just sounds like Darwinism to me. By all means, crazy people, carry on.

In February, Meta announced it would no longer recommend political content on Facebook and Instagram, effectively suppressing political news as a default setting. In other words, argues the Washington Post, social justice has been outlawed. While a normal Thanksgiving post might not be suppressed, a histrionic post likening Thanksgiving celebration to the genocide of Indians would be much more difficult to find. Question: Did Meta’s publicist plant this story? This is the best PR they’ve had in ages! Instagram is supposed to make you feel fat and poor, and Facebook is supposed to be a website where Boomers send each other death threats over casserole recipes. Nobody, on any Meta platform, would have their experience improved by the presence of a lot of people yelling about trans issues. This was a great decision. Thank you, Zuck.

“Latine” — a new gender-neutral term for people of Hispanic origin — is apparently increasing in use at college campuses. Though it looks to be one “r” short of another word for the baño, the term is apparently pronounced la-teen-eh, and comes more natural for Spanish speakers than the since-phased-out Latinx (which made absolutely zero sense linguistically for a people that don't even pronounce "x" that way.) Apparently, even though Hispanic people still prefer the gender-coded Latino/Latina by a wide margin, left-wing administrators aren't giving up the mission of forcing trans-friendly vocabulary on Jose and his Catholic, blue-collar familia. At this point, gender-neutral Hispanic terms are like Twitter spinoffs: they keep getting introduced, but the only people jumping on board are lefty white women!
