I think about this once every couple weeks already. Glad to have the definitive story here. www.wired.com/story/book-e...

NEW from @dell.bsky.social and @couts.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/herita...

VERY FUNNY SCOOP: The Onion made a 20-minute Epstein/Trump mockumentary called “Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.” I got a sneak peek and it is gloriously dumb. Read about it/watch the trailer here: www.wired.com/story/the-on...

For those who have been in our mentions asking about posters/shirts/etc. of the new WIRED cover—behold! condenaststore.com/featured/wir...

Huge DOGE oral history from @leahfeiger.bsky.social, @zoeschiffer.bsky.social, @telliotter.bsky.social, @knibbs.bsky.social, @makenakelly.bsky.social, @davidgilbert.bsky.social, @mollytaft.com, @aarianmarshall.bsky.social, @peard33.bsky.social, + @jakelahut.writes.news www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

"The Ellison family is cornering the market on attention and data the way the Vanderbilts did railroads and the Rockefellers did oil."

Big things happening in Bushwick

Come! Ask questions of my smart colleagues!

No one knows Silicon Valley better than @stevenlevy.bsky.social. And no one is more clear-eyed about how far removed it has become from its supposed ideals.

Regardless of where the Trump admin lands on H1-B visas, the absolute shit-show they created this weekend is yet another deterrent to convincing smart, qualified people to come work in the United States:

Huge week here @wired.com as we're rolling out our Politics Issue. First up, check out this cover, which we're also posting all over cities across the US.

Big Tech's embrace of President Trump has left many of us wondering: What the hell happened to Silicon Valley? In our new politics issue, we're getting into it. Also, we're taking this cover across the US in billboards, posters and a mural. Clues to find us in the 🧵: www.wired.com/politics-iss...

NEW: A pair of vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Entra ID system could have allowed an attacker to gain access to virtually EVERY Azure account. Fortunately, they were patched before a malicious actor found them. @mattburgess1.bsky.social + @lhn.bsky.social report: www.wired.com/story/micros...

Excellent newsletter from @jakelahut.writes.news here. www.wired.com/story/inside...

So, um, where will @jimmykimmel.com deliver the monologue he didn't get to give last night? Colbert? YouTube? Leak to the press? (My Signal is in my bio. Just sayin'...) www.status.news/p/jimmy-kimm...

i listened to mtg’s entire weather modification hearing yesterday and tried — for you, dear WIRED readers — to make sense of it:

I covered the protests in London against Trump for @wired.com. Protesters aren't convinced by the AI deal from US tech giants: They want to know what the UK is giving them in exchange for up to $45bn in investment and where the power for data centers will come from www.wired.com/story/climat...

talked to Bennett Foddy about Baby Steps and watching men struggle unnecessarily www.wired.com/story/baby-s...

"It all started when a videoclip from episode 1,308 of 'The Joe Rogan Experience' popped up in Smith’s Instagram feed..." Great reporting from @brendankoerner.bsky.social here. www.wired.com/story/22-cel...

I enjoyed many things about this conversation between @katie-drummond.bsky.social and Cloudflare's Matthew Prince, but the part about him meeting Anna Wintour and being a "sweaty mess" because of his suit was the highlight for me. www.wired.com/story/big-in...

I will remember Robert Redford for many things—Sundance, 'The Way We Were'—but mostly this.

22 cell towers. One man who planned and executed it all. From prison, WIRED spoke to Sean Aaron Smith, the most prolific anti-5G arsonist about the origin and details of his anti-5G crusade to understand the delirious, very online political violence of our era.

Could not be more timely: @brendankoerner.bsky.social goes inside the world of the most prolific destroyer of US tech infrastructure, a guy whose vague internet 5G brainrot put him in prison-and he still clings to conspiracy. This is the shape of political violence now www.wired.com/story/22-cel...

Exclusive: Cindy Cohn, longtime director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, is leaving the group after 25 years. The decision was announced at a meeting this afternoon. I sat down w/ Cohn to discuss her victories, unfinished battles, and the future of privacy, encryption, and corporate power.

Best part of @katie-drummond.bsky.social's interview with Hasan Piker? This note on his fave Jersey sub: "[Eds. note: Sorrento’s menu says the Number 14 is a combo of a Number 5 and a Number 12 called the Pig Special.]" He says smarter stuff, but I like sandwiches. www.wired.com/story/uncann...

“You’re giving off some serious ‘it’s not my fault’ vibes,” it said. I protested, and Buzz replied, “So who’s the whiner now?” Please everyone read @boone.bsky.social and @kylierobison.com's experiences with their Friends. www.wired.com/story/i-hate...

Notable bit from this @dell.bsky.social story on @wired.com — renaming the 9 bases after Confederate general officers had a projected cost of $39 mil. So if Dpt of War ends up being a full rebrand (with or without congress), we’re talking 9 figures and up: www.wired.com/story/depart...

What’s War.gov? That’s the new URL for the Pentagon’s website, which, along with its social media channels, was overhauled Friday at President Donald Trump’s behest to reflect the US Defense Department’s new “Department of War” persona. www.wired.com/story/depart...

"But there was an eeriness to see that same dynamic among Big Tech’s braintrust, like passing a camera around to take turns wishing a distant, unloved uncle a very happy Thanksgiving." ~ @brbarrett.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/tech-c...

while you're waiting this final hour for Silksong, may I recommend a story about how other people spent their time waiting for Silksong

Our new project is live. A group of us former Polygon folks have come together to build something new: Rogue. We're a worker-owned, reader supported gaming site. You can read all about our goals and ideas on our (gorgeous) website. Please check us out and share us with your friends!

Well here's the basis for a horror movie starring Silicon Valley entitlement.

My boss talked to @bencollins.bsky.social and I gotta say it's a pretty good time. www.wired.com/story/uncann...

I talked to Wired for A LONG time about how The Onion works now and also alluded to some very stupid, very fun things coming very soon. www.wired.com/story/uncann...

👉 Come work for @wired.com features team in NYC! Must have experience with big stories and a desire to have fun while holding tech leaders to account! Best in business, etc.! Ping me with questions condenast.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/CondeCareers...

Another really cool piece from @elanaklein.bsky.social on the history of technology panics with kids in school: "These overblown reactions also might give tech too much credit and education systems too little." www.wired.com/story/photo-...

An absolutely delightful opening to this @juliablack.bsky.social piece: www.wired.com/story/silico...

I encourage you to fire up the groupchat and send this to the parents of young children in your life. @wired.com presents Generation iPad, the back-to-school edition: www.wired.com/generation-i...

I learned so much working on this @juliablack.bsky.social piece on the rise of microschools. www.wired.com/story/silico...

Another great one from @wired.com's Generation iPad package: @charleylocke.bsky.social on the forthcoming social media ban for under-16s in Australia. www.wired.com/story/kids-s...

"Listen, we're not on a studio set. We're not on the backlot at Sony. We're in New York City, and it's going to feel like it." for @defector.com, i talked to the team behind @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's campaign videos to learn their secrets (see: a lot of sincerity; and a dash of Tim & Eric)

Finally found a good reason to write about my love of handwriting. And about learning it from my mom. www.wired.com/story/the-en...

NEW from @davidgilbert.bsky.social and @megannicolett.bsky.social: A group of lawyers is looking to file scores of suits against Roblox from families alleging the company of facilitated the grooming of their kids. “We alone already have about 300 of these cases.” www.wired.com/story/is-rob...

NEW from @wired.com/me: Generation iPad Everyone does back-to-school packages, but for this one we wanted to do something different. We wanted to look at how tech is impacting learning, how AI, Zoom school, social media, and so many other things are changing education. www.wired.com/generation-i...

The only thing keeping me from spiraling about this is knowing that there's a non-zero chance it'll be MSNBC again in like 2 years

For years, smartphones and computers have threatened to erase writing by hand. Would that be so bad? What do you think?

First, let's talk Roblox. Long plagued by moderation issues, the platform recently released a series of updates aimed at improving the experience for kids. Experts worry they could have the opposite effect.

From tech-millionaire-backed “microschools,” to what it’s like to be a tween in Australia, where social media will soon be banned for any person under 16, school has never looked more different. Young people entering classrooms this fall need a totally different tool set than before. 🧵:

But what if it's a cover of Demi Lovato's "Ruin the Friendship" which is (allegedly) about Nick Jonas, brother of Joe Jonas, whom Taylor and Demi both dated? That'd be cool. That song kinda rules
