new Cut who dis??

Join me in not watching the moon move a bit in front of the sun and possibly instigating either The Departure and/or The Purge, and instead, read this excerpt from Ellen Pao’s new book: This is How Sexism Works in Silicon Valley, published by The Cut, all fresh & Glossier-dewy from its new redesign, which debuted today.

What do you guys think?? At first, the homepage looked a little too 2012 fashion Tumblr meets Vogue for me, but then again, I’m a masochist who likes her links and photos all crammed in above the fold, because scrolling can get arduous okay?? In any case, it’ll be interesting to see how The Cut mixes this more lifestyle-y look and feel with heavy-hitting news (such as Pao’s piece), but nevertheless: the vertical’s official move out from under New York mag’s umbrella is a v. cool moment for modern feminist media – and you should read more about EIC Stella Bugbee’s vision for it in Business of Fashion here.
