For brands, this underscores the importance of maintaining a strong identity and connection with their audience, especially in a time when personal narratives and authenticity are increasingly valued.

Feed Me: So much media news. Sohla El-Waylly leaves NYT, Julie Davich leaves Puck, and more. Good morning everyone. I hope you had a nice weekend. One quick thing before we start: who here has seen Julianne Moore in Safe? I watched it on Saturday night and I can’t stop thinking about how ahead of its time it was. A real self-care satirical fever dream. Today’s letter includes: Sohla El-Waylly on the reaction to her essay about leaving The New York Times, Amanda Lee Burkett’s hair colorist, Zohran Mamdani is moving to Manhattan, and one of Puck’s reporters is leaving the publication. 📱 Have a story you think we should look into?

Turns out people will gladly come out on a cold Sunday night if there is a roaring fireplace, a Lauren Schofield cake, strong Negronis, and gift bags that include breakfast for the morning. Thank you Uber for sponsoring the party, and Apollo Bagels (available on Uber Eats) for sending everyone home with almost-still-warm bagels. And thank you Joana Avillez for the splendid invitations. And thank you Emilio Madrid for the gorgeous photos.

And thank you Graydon Carter for the most wonderful room in New York. Feed Me Job Board The latest episode of Expense Account is out today, featuring adult film actor Asa Akira.
