Corporations have gotten really good at ripping us off – from the grocery aisle to our online shopping carts to the gas pump. The whole game is rigged. These are the tricks and schemes @lindsayowens.bsky.social lays out in "Gouged", available everywhere now. Thanks to @adamconover.net!

Being a public figure means weathering this stuff, as unfair as it is, but as a form of emotional care for myself I take the chance every so often to express how I feel about it to someone who might listen. So if you care, show me solidarity by not treating other people this way in the future. Thx!

Adam Conover @adamconover.net · 16/09/2026

I accept your apology and solidarity, but saying I "never have the greatest of vibes", sounds less like goofin, more like random negative insinuations about the personal life of someone you don't know. And I don't think "that's the internet", I think it's just an unfair way to treat other people.

This is a weird form of parasociality. You're welcome to not watch but not sure why you're objecting to the idea of me talking about it without knowing what I say. It's called "Big Divorce Energy" because our split had the energy of a divorce, despite not technically being one.

Here's an anecdote: On 9/10/2001, The Onion staff had a New York launch party at the Bowery Ballroom to celebrate the staff's move from Madison, Wisconsin to New York City. They woke up hungover, took a week off, and then produced one of the greatest front pages in the history of newspapers.

Wow! Former LA city heat officer Marta Segura brings receipts after Karen Bass' statements in last week's environmental policy mayoral debate. Bass said Segura was removed due to her office's supposed failure to complete a climate action plan. Read here: martaspeaks.medium.com/the-real-cit...

What the record shows
Three facts, all in public documents linked at the end. 1. The ordinance that created my office never assigned the Climate Action
and Adaptation Plan to CEMO. 2. When the City funded that plan in 2024, the $1.5 million went to the City Administrative Officer to hire a consultant to get it done through our CAO's budget office, and a Climate Impact Team was created there. This
Mayor signed that budget. 3. The Mayor's own climate plan, published in April 2026, states that the CAO's budget office was instructed to develop the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan. (A consultant also created this, with minimal
community input.) So the Mayor put the climate plan in another department, paid for it there, and wrote that decision into her own climate plan. Then, at the forum, she said my office failed to finish it, when it was never our assignment, and gave that as the reason to cut the office and remove the founding Chief Heat
Officer. Both accounts cannot be true.
