Exciting job news! I'm hella stoked to be part of what the @sfstandard is building, to help strengthen the local news ecosystem, and to have a broader remit to cover this baffling era of Silicon Valley!

The odds seem stacked against Kevin Warsh, but the carefully crafted career path he has traveled up to this point suggests he is perhaps uniquely situated to pull off being Trump’s Fed chair

They say you haven’t lived until you’ve been laid off. I’ve now lived once.
Gutted to see so many coworkers lose their jobs at the Post today. If you know anyone who’s hiring a politics/culture/magazine writer with a law degree who also speaks Spanish:

People said the University of Austin was a right-wing project from the start. The truth is way more complicated...and interesting...
