I’m usually a Cats guy, but tonight, it’s all Cards. Let’s go Louisville!

Some things don’t change, they just get more ridiculous.

One of Louisville’s finest!

Time will tell, but hoping that this is a positive change for everyone hanging in there at CNET. Keeping them in my thoughts, and the @cnetunion, as well.

A statement from the Vox Media Union, @thrillistunion and @thedodounion on the partnership between Vox Media and OpenAI.

After almost 11 years, this is my last week at CNET. I’m beyond grateful to have been a small part of such an excellent organization, but my partner and I are planning a move to Chicago this summer, and I’m ready to explore some new opportunities in a new city.

It really was a joy to collaborate with so many talented colleagues here in KY. Huge tip of the cap to @gchumbe1205, @meganwollerton, @gebandrew, @AshleeEats @david_p_priest, @mrsmollyprice, Brian Bennett, @katiepilk, @onlymonroe, @hellocolinwest and others I couldn’t fit here.

As for me, I’m not sure what’s next, professionally, but I’m looking forward to catching my breath for a bit and then figuring it out. In the meantime, I’m still lurking here, and DMs are open, so if you’d ever like to get in touch, please do!

taps mic... this thing still on?

Just Cause Donuts. 🍩

Just cause @CNET workers need & deserve it in our union contract. Just Cause is linchpin protection. It’s about fairness & due process. It’s standard in digital media shops & we’re telling @RedVentures we “donut” think at will employment is acceptable.

Every bar needs one of these.

If you are, or know, a copy editor looking for work right now, get in touch with me here. RTs appreciated!

We're back at the bargaining table today! Management spent a lot of time on @CNET's redesign. Hope @RedVentures worked just as hard on counterproposals!
💪💪💪
We want meaningful responses to:
AI protections
Remote work assurances
Just cause
Successorship (in case we're sold)

If you're interested in portable power stations, @cnetsteve has tested nearly a hundred of the things, and has some great recommendations and advice posted here: cnet.com/home/energy-an…

Here's the latest post from CNET Labs, where we're always working to test new things. This time around, it's Gianmarco with some outstanding work putting alkaline batteries through their paces. cnet.com/home/energy-an…

My @CNET Labs colleague Gianmarco has spent the past several weeks testing air purifiers in a custom-built chamber using homemade smoke bombs. Lots of really cool data here on how the 14 models performed, as well as info on noise levels and efficiency. cnet.com/home/kitchen-a…

Here's a great video over on Instagram where Gianmarco walks you through our test process: instagram.com/p/CzAqxb0OLmV/

Our bargaining committee and @WGAEast bring our first round of proposals to the negotiating table today with @RedVentures, and we'll be speaking on behalf of all our members. Can't wait to secure protections and better working conditions at @CNET! ✊

Forward to a fair contract!

Jobseekers have always been the underdogs in the hiring process. In this So Money episode with @Farnoosh, I talk more about how AI is changing the employment landscape.
