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

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.

proud to have worked with @jakelahut.writes.news and even more proud to call him a friend. as corporate nightmare fuel drives us out, huge fucking kudos to all who want to survive, use our platforms to challenge the status quo, and care for their coworkers and industry as a whole

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.

insult to injury

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.

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

Jake is a scoop machine, a damn good reporter, and a truly empathetic human who understands why work like this is so important

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.

"If you are so scared of entrusting your candidate to be themselves, you need to get the hell out of Democratic politics."

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

How exactly did Donald Trump end up in the AI slop trenches? And who, exactly, is sourcing and posting these bizarre, offensive AI videos on the president's social accounts? @jakelahut.writes.news is on the case:

dude is the exact target audience for this dogshit tech and I hope we never forget this is who this stuff is really meant for

The new AI-powered Wikipedia competitor falsely claims that pornography worsened the AIDS epidemic and that social media may be fueling a rise in transgender people.

🎇New package alert @wired.com! This one has been in the works for months. If WIRED was going to tackle AI -- something we cover daily -- we had to go big. So here are 17 different stories about the way AI is changing us, even as the technology itself keeps moving www.wired.com/ai-issue/

"I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle," says Roger Davis, a Cybertruck owner. Davis also uses the Grok feature in the car: "Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist." www.wired.com/story/owning...

“We were the targets.” WIRED spoke to seven Tesla Cybertruck owners about their most controversial purchase and why they're proud to drive it.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

maybe one day we're all just gonna be chasing our AR dogs www.wired.com/story/nianti...

This is really just incredible work from @zoeschiffer.bsky.social + photographer Michelle Groskopf. Come for the cybertruck dogs, stay for the insurrectionist? www.wired.com/story/owning...

ABOUT FACE: In a move that comes as no surprise at all, Apple is ditching Vision Pro and racing to try and catch up with Meta and its Ray-Ban success. It's a very costly mistake, running into billions. Tim Cook's vision was wrong. By @boone.bsky.social on @wired.com www.wired.com/story/the-vi...

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

this would be a good time to bring back the trend of calling people complete fucking weirdos again

I watched 7 hours of yesterday's ACIP meeting so you didn't have to. www.wired.com/story/vaccin...

In a chaotic meeting, ACIP voted not to recommend a prescription requirement for Covid-19 vaccines. Some panelists seemed unaware of the point of the meeting, while others went on strange tangents. 🫠

“The FCC under Brendan Carr uses mergers and business interests of media companies as leverage to extract concessions, extract bribes, and extract censorship.”
