The McGlynn Logic! →
nickmcglynn: I was sent a signed offer letter for a position in the IT department at HUGE inc., and I was excited to begin working there today. When I came into the office, I was immediately asked into a meeting with the head of the HR department as well as the manager… Long story short: They can McGlynn before he can even start because he has a widely read blog and they don’t...

The Questionable Intent of Bill Keller's Genius...
It’s not that his genius lately is the product of questionable intentions; it’s that I’m questioning if the intent to yield what he has lately on his part is the result of genius. In other words: What do Bill Keller and Odd Future have in common?  (A) You’re sick of hearing them. (B) You’re sick of hearing about them. (C) The New York Times is the only newspaper...

Now THIS Is How Men In Publishing Are Supposed To...
pressler: Mr. Stein, like a lot of the men there, seemed to have beamed in from 1962. He wore a skinny regimental-stripe tie and herringbone tweed jacket, and periodically freshened his drink from a bottle of Scotch stashed in a metal file cabinet, a Nat Sherman cigarette dangling from his lips.

Spiersblr: How to Pitch the New York Observer... →
spiers: We don’t use freelancers very much, but enough that we occasionally take pitches that just come over the transom…. What Spiers is trying to say here is: POWER LISTS, POWER LISTS, POWER LISTS! Do you know the most powerful Chihuahuas in Manhattan? WE NEED TO PET THEM, GODDAMNIT. Do you know the hottest shishito pepper farmers in the Tri-State area? WE ARE FUCKING HUNGRY FOR...

Hedge Farm! The Doomsday Food Price Scenario... →
When asked if this is an end of the world scenario, the hedge-fund manager replied, “It really is. I tell my fiancée this from time to time, and I’ve stopped telling her this, because it’s not the most pleasant thought. And so begins my pithy Wall Street reporting career! For the record, alternate names for this story included: HEDGE FARM: THE CITY SLICKER LAND GRAB GOES WILD SPEED THE PLOW:...

momofuku | price hike outlook →
lock: pricehike: Momofuku’s David Chang talks about food inflation. We spoke on the phone last week after I noticed his prices really hadn’t been going up in any meaningful way. Listen to our conversation via a Bloomberg audio/photo slideshow for signature Chang F-bombs. Or read the synopsis below:   If his ramen cost $21 people would “freak the f&ck out.” Prices will have to go up at...

madeupmemories: Plus, here’s a bunch of scattered thoughts that I didn’t send to Complex: As for the music, it’s pretty good, but it’s like Clipse’s “Hell Hath No Fury;” too heavy to enjoy anywhere but under the cloak of a hoodie. It’s not an experience to be savored, especially not with others. Am I going to play any of these songs at a Memorial Day barbeque? No. Do I really want to ...
