    Not the second round of layoffs at Newseum. At least the third- but don't ask me how I know. They'll come after me but they won't kill me. They'll just force me to watch their "4D" movie until my eyes are pinwheels and I'm sobbing on the floor like Nellie Bly's asylum-mates.

    Is it more than a little scary that NPR is just catching up to the world of pop culture and now finds Justin T'lake dreamy? It's like awakening a Kraken after 15 years hungry for Pizza Bagels and new episodes of Blossom.

    In reply to 'Twitter' Is Word of Sexless Year
    I think Twitter is one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, but I would have expected the verb form, "tweet," to be the so-called "top word." Isn't Twitter a brand name? At least Google has been turned into a verb. Aren't we celebrating the related human activity that Twitter promotes and not the actual thing? Unless they just think Twitter is the verb. Am I overthinking this? Can we spend the next 20 minutes conjugating?

    Do magazines think people want to wait for their regurgitated content on a monthly basis again? No. They do not. Silly magazines. You're going to have to offer people subscriptions to a bunch of your sites. And not .pdfs.

    From the looks of the picture, Martha Stewart is in bed with something other than the State Dept.

    With that stick, it is no wonder she doesn't need a man.

    At least one print outlet is being "resurrected." From TPM - "Staff of the Southern Voice, a gay weekly in Atlanta and one of the handful of publications shut down abruptly by parent company Window Media last week, have received a $12,000 matching grant to start a new publication. "

    Anyway, thought some good news would be in order...

    In reply to Time Inc's Pre-Thanksgiving Layoffs
    Naturally the horrible murders in the Philippines dwarfs anything else in this post--the enormity of the evil is staggering. But to deal with what my mind can wrap itself around, does anyone else remember when companies--even magazine companies--had sufficient humanity to wait until after the holidays to do layoffs? Now the objective is just to get 'em off the expense side before the new budget kicks in. I always wonder how the executioner executives can watch or read A Christmas Carol unironically.

    @TheBusinessGuy: I would argue that it is still before the holidays. After what date would you no longer lay people off? November 1? Labor Day? Yeah, laying someone off on December 15 is kinda prickish, but lets get a handle on extending the holidays t0 over 15% of the year.

    On the bright side, at least they were laid off before they did their shopping. In a way, it's probably better than being laid off on January 10. Not that being laid off anytime doesn't suck.

    @Pesti-Esti: I think laying someone off two days before Thanksgiving is dickish. What should be the cutoff? In the old days, it was usually November 1.
