- I have to give props to Dyson - I left my drying attachment to my Airwrap at home and didn’t realize until I got to LA. I called the Century City Dyson and they don’t sell them in store but Leah held one for me from a demo unit and gave it to me for free. Life saver fr!

- Amazing find by Marcin. As @gruber.foo says, this is blasphemous tho.

- It will be hilarious when they rename Max back to HBO Max and then I have the old HBO Max app and the new HBO Max app on my Apple TV because I never removed the old one.

- Someone at Delta finally fixed the CSS stylesheet on the late bag claim to be mobile friendly. It’s like it’s 2012 or something but I’m not even mad because I don’t have to use the 2007-esque form anymore.

- Oh. A dad is eating pizza. God bless.
- There is pizza here and none of the adults are eating it but I want some fucking pizza. It’s 3pm. Etiquette on stealing a slice? I can always order my own fuckass pizza in a few hours but goddamn.
- Birthday party day 2. This time with 16 other 4 year olds. Pray for Auntie Nina.
- About to pop an edible to survive this birthday party for a 4 year old, the two sets of grand parents and my sister. The 4 year old is great. Everyone else needs to chill out.
- Never have I hated private equity more. The death of party city means the I’m forced to blow up very bad Amazon balloons. We’re at the “Google’s how to blow up balloons” stage of life. Turns out these are just bad balloons

Thank you all for the kindness and care you've shared with Polygon and the union over the last 2 days — it means the world to us all. gofund.me/a21cbbdc
- legit lmao
- Reposted by Christina WarrenI'm still in shock and so so deeply angry about Vox Media's decision to sell Polygon. I am one of the over 20 people laid off today from the best damn website out there. I'm so proud of the place we built, and the workplace I helped shape. I'm sure I'll have more to say soon, but processing it now
- Reposted by Christina WarrenTheir press release proudly calls Polygon a "premium gaming publication" but Valnet literally refused to meet with me or answer a single question of mine throughout this process. They were wildly incurious about how a gaming publication even becomes "premium."
- Reposted by Christina Warren14 years ago I pitched what would become Polygon to a startup called Sports Blogs Inc on the unfurnished third floor of a DC townhome. I held a laptop on my knees and went through a deck. Today that same company -- now called Vox Media -- sold Polygon to Valnet.

- Reposted by Christina WarrenWhat happened with Polygon today is so fucked. Vox Media has made some atrocious decisions in my six years here but this is really something else. And to do this in the middle of us bargaining a new union contract, where they scold us for asking for better protections, is just unconscionable.

- What Vox Media just did to the Polygon staff is one of the worst things I can remember in media. Selling to Valnet and laying off almost all of your staff so the site can go to content farming clickbaiters. Fuck all of that so, so hard.
- Reposted by Christina WarrenAlong with just about everyone else at Polygon, I am now out of a job, ending over a decade at Vox Media for me. Working at Polygon was a wonderful experience, and I'm proud of the work we did there. I will be looking for work, as well as starting my own project(s) on the side. Stay tuned!

- Reposted by Christina WarrenI'll say more later, but I no longer have a job. I'm looking for work, as are *so* many of my amazing colleagues. I have lots of ideas and things I'd like to write. I'm really in shock.

- Reposted by Christina WarrenI'm no longer with Polygon. If you're hiring, please consider the many talented writers and editors now on the market. Every one of them deserves a spot on your staff. I won't be talking more about the sale because I wasn't involved. Going to hang out with my kid. Taking wins where I can.
- OSU’s Open Source Lab has a shortfall of funding ($250k) that if they don’t raise, means the lab will be shutdown. Federal grants are a cluster right now and big donors might come through but in the interim, if you can donate or appeal to your company to donate, plz do! osuosl.org/blog/osl-fut...

- this is bait and we should all just not engage. but since i’ve just had the most frustrating travel day in quite some time, let me say that while I enjoyed having a pre-departure convo w/my single serving friend at 6:30am, i also really like to wear my headphones and not talk & won’t feel bad for it
