yeah what the fuck could possibly go wrong

if anyone is wondering what to cook for dinner tonight — you're welcome

YESSSS to this from @jbwinters.bsky.social for @grist.org. The consensus requirement at COP (and the IPCC for that matter) makes obstruction and the watering down of commitments an inevitability. grist.org/cop30/un-cli...

bro the House is NEVER coming back lol

A @washingtonpost.com analysis of changing global precipitation patterns explains what people in Appalachia already know: The region has become a dangerous hot spot of intensifying rainfall.

🤡OIL DEMAND WILL KEEP RISING🤡 What are the IEA assumptions that make rising oil demand so improbable?

The time has come for us to admit Molly is History's Greatest Monster

love all my homies on this weird little website lol

scoop: one of the largest renewable energy projects in the u.s. is quietly getting killed say goodbye to leading light, the latest casualty of trump’s war on offshore wind (also means there is essentially no more offshore wind in progress at all for new jersey)

Some Guild friends set up a fundraiser to help the illegally terminated employees while we fight back www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

Buckle up South Dakota, you're in the crosshairs.

this story is really interesting

new from me today: not all data centers are created environmentally equal — and building them in states with cleaner grids and more access to water could go a long way in preventing environmental catastrophe

"When I think about the jobs the data center will bring to our area, I think about the impact of introducing nuclear technology to the world and deploying it on civilians" www.404media.co/a-small-town...

Thousands of EPA employees are furloughed. Some of those who remain are busy loosening pollution regulations, a key priority of the Trump admin. Great reporting from @mollytaft.com

NEW: Even with the end of the US government shutdown in sight, the EPA is in chaos. @mollytaft.com spoke with employees at the agency about their instructions over the last 5 weeks (and lack thereof):

with the end of the shutdown looming, here's my look for @wired.com into what life has been like for EPA employees over the past five weeks: little to no heads up about who was getting furloughed next, important projects getting put on the back burner while deregulation moves forward:

SCOOP: WIRED obtained notes from a Social Security Administration management meeting, where employees grilled leadership on plans for the agency. wrd.cm/3JNrCIu

“People are coming to me saying they cannot put gas in their car and they cannot afford to come to work anymore, and they'll need to get other jobs,” said one employee on the call. “Pretty soon they won't be able to afford to work at the agency.”

Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers? For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.

I am absolutely certain that Jake is going to have a great job lined up before too long (a good reason to reach out to him now if you're hiring), but a job tomorrow doesn't pay the bills today.

help jake pay rent, please!

being fired suddenly in NYC is a nightmare — if you can help out Jake, please consider it!

Hey everyone, thank you so much for the outpouring of support. I need to pay rent, and I launched a GoFundMe spot.fund/LahutRentFund

my latest: i spent weeks investigating how frustrations about data centers were about to swallow american politics… …and then the 2025 election happened, proving the electoral impacts are already here. read and share my deep dive on the bipartisan AI techlash shaping our elections before our eyes!

once again jael writes the piece I wish I’d written :)

I’ll add more context here, because I think folks are (understandably) reading a lot into what I’m saying here. I am not asserting anything past what’s literally reported in this story. And I am on the record as being a huge supporter of the current Wired team, whose work I encourage you to pay for.

when Elon Musk attacked my reporting to his millions of followers last week, it was one of the scariest days of my life in that moment, the leadership at @wired.com enthusiastically stood by my article and its message: holding powerful tech leaders accountable

WIRED is focused on reporting the forces shaping the most terrifying administration in a generation already plagued by terror wars, financial ruin, and a global pandemic. The best way to help us keep doing that today is to stay reading. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

In 2023, students at Ohio State blocked the doors to the president's office. Little did they know, live video from campus CCTVs were being fed straight to DHS. It's part of a little-known, decades-long surveillance effort built on the back of college football. www.foiaball.com/p/dhs-colleg...

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

I PROMISE you, our aggressive, unflinching, investigative reporting isn't going anywhere—ever.

Just to be absolutely clear: Our commitment to politics reporting is unwavering, and we'll continue to invest in, hire for, and prioritize that coverage.

As my general two cents: don't cancel your WIRED subscriptions. Best culture, best newsroom of anywhere I've worked. I love the living shit out of these folks, and they don't deserve to be negatively impacted by a decision that was made by the parent company, not them. And it's only $2 a month.

unsubscribe to me at your own fucking peril

I don’t think this is fair to all these journalists. Compared to Teen Vogue, Wired invested in adversarial politics reporting relatively recently (and are great at it!). When Wintour was telling TV they don’t want to hear about politics, in 2021? That was the canary. bsky.app/profile/meli...

Jake is a resourceful political reporter with deep access to the White House; he goes out of his way to befriend everyone in the newsroom; and he is tireless at promoting our work on TV. WIRED will carry on politics reporting with his legacy, but he deserves a better employer and platform.

This is a really hard day and I want to just add as WIRED's politics editor -- WIRED's politics reporting isn't going anywhere. We are very much here and won't stop. Please continue to read and support us - canceling your subscription to WIRED is not standing in solidarity with our journalists.

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

to me jake is everything WIRED is: relentlessly curious, hilarious, and willing to ask the right questions at the right time. i am truly devastated about this and i am so jealous of whoever gets him next

Jake is one of the best and I’ll really miss working with him — whoever gets to work with him next is very lucky!

Jake did tremendous work at WIRED and I'm really going to miss working with him every day.

have been eagerly anticipating this @carolinehaskins.bsky.social scoop on mark zuckerberg's illegal school based on 1,600 (!) pages of docs she got and it does NOT DISAPPOINT:

I have a history of planning to go to COP and then those plans suddenly getting derailed, but so far looks like I'll make it this year. I'm going to report on a couple of very specific things, but am also curious to see what happens when the U.S. opts out. ANYway, other journos who are going, hmu!

Zohran Mamdani's Campaign Figured Out How to Channel Fandom The Zohran Mamdani campaign ran a competent social media program, yes. But it's the fandom it fostered that transformed Mamdani into a digital (and IRL!) phenomenon. More here: www.wired.com/story/zohran...

very funny to see one's peers be written about like the 2016 talking-to-a-trump-voter-in-a-diner missives www.commonplace.org/p/zohrans-pa...

lmao bowdoin’s “congratulatory” post to zohran proving my point here

i love living here man
