kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass

It's been quite the year in Washington! www.theverge.com/policy/84583...

AI ran into a brick wall trying to control smart home devices this year, which feels like the canary in the coal mine for a lot of things. Excellent @jp2e.bsky.social dive into why and what comes next www.theverge.com/tech/845958/...

For our final Vergecast of 2025, it's the Holiday Spec-tacular: 90 deeply wonky minutes on RAM with @reckless.bsky.social and @seanhollister.bsky.social www.theverge.com/podcast/8495...

Bari Weiss had no understanding of 230 and it will soon be painfully obvious that she has no understanding of what DMCA takedowns actually accomplish

Nothing will inspire renewed confidence in American aviation like hastily making planes at the behest of the mad king

Very well done. I could nitpick as I usually do but Elizabeth got all the important stuff right and didn't sensationalize anything. Worth your time to read!

This is the kind of hard-hitting journalism and journalistic integrity that makes me proud to be a Verge subscriber. Thank you @reckless.bsky.social.

I love The Verge

Free stories box on theverge.com is sharp today

We pulled this one out of the paywall for today, because, well

crisis averted -- we asked chatgpt and grok and now have both sides of the story, direct from the chips. have learned mechahitler is involved

Why I pay for a @theverge.com subscription — tech journalism with an editorial standard and social purpose.

Sometimes the no comment is the entire story ;) www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

CHIPWRECKED yes I headlined a @lopatto.bsky.social banger after my kid forced me to watch an Alvin and the Chipmunks movie no regrets www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

excuse me?!

Sometimes the no comment is the entire story!

as foretold by the prophesy

Dance like no one’s watching (or has a memory longer than two minutes)

Packers lose. America is so doomed

“Stop stealing and start creating” is a real thing an “AI artist” said

OpenAI’s agentic AI revolution is going terrific lol

Speaking of subtweets made public, I see @reckless.bsky.social and @davidpierce.xyz expanded the best recurring feature of The Vergecast to a full episode. www.theverge.com/podcast/8480...

School shootings and measles

As a kid of the 90’s who grew up loving technology and the promise of a better world by way of it, only to see how bad we’ve fucked it all up in 1000 different ways… but also, I still kinda love it? I’m really appreciative for people like @reckless.bsky.social and the work @theverge.com is doing.

It's time for another batch of Verge articles that are completely free to read for the day. First up: @superantonio64.bsky.social made a list of all the prompts in Microsoft's holiday-themed Copilot AI ad, then checked them twice. Guess what happened

New Vergecast! It's the epic season finale of America's favorite podcast within a podcast, Brendan Carr is a Dummy — and @reckless.bsky.social is ready for it www.theverge.com/podcast/8480...

Incredible @vicmsong.bsky.social banger looking into the wild west of unregulated "GLP-3" weight loss injections being sold on TikTok — bananas that influencers have incremented "GLP-1" like a version number to make it sound newer www.theverge.com/column/84640...

Taking @reckless.bsky.social advice: replacing old surge protectors and power strips. Now that I think about it, some of them are older than I’d like to admit. 🤦‍♂️

Microsoft keeps airing big flashy commercials showing people using Copilot on Windows to do all kinds of things... and we keep making @superantonio64.bsky.social test those exact prompts and discovering nothing actually works www.theverge.com/report/84705...

Today's episode has led to, I think, the best email subject line we've ever gotten? (Still reading every email!)

A $6 billion bet that Devin Nunes will crack nuclear fusion

lol lmao dying www.theverge.com/news/847159/...

I do a LOT of different things at work; "producer" is at least 12 jobs in a trenchcoat and I never know what a day will hold. The scariest thing I do every single year, however, is look Nilay dead in the eye on camera and make fun of his show to his face. (Worth it.)

It’s your last chance to own Content Goblins, The Verge’s limited-edition anthology of features, commentary, art, and more — all about “content” and the people who make it. It's available now for a limited time, only while supplies last. (psst subscribers, check your email for a special discount)

Decoder year-end mailbag episode is up... you all asked some good qs and there's a little scoop in the beginning ;) www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDrY...

This fuckin guy

Earlier this month, a study went viral — a social listening firm said it had traced "inauthentic" social media activity that helped to spread narratives that Taylor Swift was using Nazi symbolism. Then all hell broke loose. I tried to get to the bottom of it: www.theverge.com/report/84572...

www.theverge.com/entertainmen... Loving my annual subscription to the Verge. Well done @lopatto.bsky.social and the entire Verge team. We need more of this regardless of the politics or ideology. @reckless.bsky.social

Taylor Swift publicist Tree Paine runs into The Verge’s background policy. If you want to be in our stories as an official spokesperson, you have to be on the record! www.theverge.com/report/84572...

lol @lopatto.bsky.social banger alert www.theverge.com/entertainmen...

2000s: “Digital ads will fund journalism and support democracy” 2010s: Adfraud bots see ads but humans block ads 2020s: Adblock-blocker-blocking, paywalls, influencer culture dominance

Fighting with Margot Robbie in a bathtub is certainly a choice

Killer @justcalma.bsky.social piece on the mad scramble solar installers are facing to get systems installed before the end of the year… and the deep uncertainty about what comes next. (Inside baseball: got this story idea from the installers at my house last week!) www.theverge.com/science/8448...

Happy birthday, Paul Simonon. 🎸 And thank you for taking time out to sing with young street musicians playing The Clash. 💕 @theclash.com @faroutmagazine.co.uk

DECODER GETS RESULTS www.theverge.com/transportati...

1. We really do read all the emails 2. A really fascinating development lately is how so many people write to me / Decoder assuming journalism is inherently transactional like this, a side effect of influencer media. I promise you it is the opposite: the less access you need, the more you get!
