"WIRED’s stories were not only groundbreaking; they were singular." HUGE congratulations to my @wired.com colleagues for this well-earned 2026 Hillman Prize for our coverage of DOGE! www.hillmanfoundation.org/hillman-priz...

The third, and also a woman, if we are keeping tabs. While Pete keeps Pete-ing. And not quite cabinet level, but Kash still has a fucking job. Each of them has committed some of the most boneheaded blunders imaginable. Very publicly.

"Once the prophecies of the strategic initiative have been brought to fulfillment, budget deficits will shrink, prestige and reputation will grow, that weird smell on the first floor of the student center will dissipate, and you’ll never be frazzled or beleaguered again."

Child: I know your name. Mamdani. Obama: What’s his first name? Child: Mayor.

BREAKING: Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market. Investors sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, ​a $760 million bet that oil would go down. These orders were much larger than anything else at the time. Unusual.

So young to be a doctor

In its "weaponization" report on the FACE Act, DOJ once again struggles to answer the most difficult question of all: who was president in 2020? www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justi...

The White House Correspondents' Dinner later this month – with Trump as guest of honor – is shaping up as an embarrassing surrender to a criminal president who is trying to destroy the free press. Cancel the damn dinner. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

I'm just a girl. Standing in front of an AcrGIS Story Map. Asking it to let me, for the love of christmas, indent my list relative to the body text.

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

On Monday this week, as four humans flew around the far side of the Moon, Nature correspondent Alexandra Witze sat at the heart of the Artemis II mission’s science operations. Here's what she saw. go.nature.com/4dE5gpv

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

“Tell the world... to keep this energy going. Let's invest in togetherness.” ~Victor Glover, Artemis II crew member

Finally christened my laptop with worthy decals.

The photos of kiddos, little girls in particular, wearing nasa t-shirts and just being super excited about Artemis is nearly too much for my heart to handle.

Pete Hegseth has cut ALL educational funds for active-duty service members at Harvard and Princeton (despite him attending these schools) in favor of Christian-affiliated colleges.

SCOOP The Iranian group producing the Trump LEGO videos have a secret weapon.....Americans who send them tips and ideas to make their content better www.wired.com/story/inside...

CBS News has a bombshell interview with a U.S. soldier who survived the deadly attack in Kuwait on the first day of the way -- he says Pete Hegseth is lying about the attack and that the base "was unprepared to provide any defense for itself." www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-wa...

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

I watched that cringe-filled moment. On behalf of the people who share this rock with you, we’re sorry that HE had to be a part of any of your historic journey.

You could 1000% trick Trump into walking into the Hague by suggesting he was gonna get a prize.

Absolutely incredible Nutella ad.

😭😍🤩🚀

Gonna wear tinted lenses in my glasses to the white house correspondents dinner to make it clear I in no way support the presence of the war criminal in chief.

The acting head of the DOJ’s voting section told a judge last week that the agency had not touched the nonpublic voter roll data it has collected. That wasn’t true. www.wired.com/story/doj-mi...

This Reddit post is formatted like a joke but it’s actually a very dry recitation - at times, direct quotes - of America’s public war strategy over the last month. This can’t go on. This is deranged. Impeach and imprison.

Marked safe from learning new bee facts today. 🐝 Bee facts should come with a warning. You just learn a new bee fact that utterly breaks your brain, and so you go to find out more, and no matter how much you think you know about bees or how ready you think you are, you are utterly, profoundly not.

😂😂😂

As four astronauts soar deeper into space than humans have traveled in decades, a quarter million miles away, back on Earth, the White House has proposed slashing the budget of the space agency that sent them there.

This thread is delightful. Star War

The Artemis logo rules. I am resisting the urge to tattoo it on my body for some minimum waiting period yet to be determined.

The first astronaut in history to speak French while en route to the moon — Canada’s very own Jeremy Hansen 🇨🇦

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

NASA is providing 24-hour continuous coverage of the full 10-day mission as they launch, make their way to the moon, slingshot around, and splash down to return home. It has already begun with launch prep underway now. Just under 9 hours and 20 minutes until scheduled launch today.

HAPPY ARTEMIS DAY!!!! 🚀🚀🚀

The mission, known as Artemis II, could carry its astronauts farther from Earth than any humans have ever travelled go.nature.com/3PDv5w4

Just felt the urge to document, once again, that Andor is so fucking good. The music also slaps.

I am so excited for the #Dragonfly mission! A rotorcraft that will fly around on Saturn's largest moon #Titan! NASA dropped a bunch of new multimedia for it and you should absolutely check it out 🤩 🔗 science.nasa.gov/mission/drag... 🔭🐡🧪🎨

Artemis 2 countdown clock is now counting down.

I have a bad headache, and the Tylenol isnt cutting it, and so I am just the absolute crankiest me.
