For @wired.com, I wrote about how misogyny and homophobia have been used by the right to wage a campaign to destroy Renee Good www.wired.com/story/the-ca...

This is major. MacKenzie Scott just donated $45 million to the Trevor Project. www.wired.com/story/macken...

The "undressing" deepfakes generated by Grok on X were just the tip of the iceberg. @mattburgess1.bsky.social and I found far more explicit AI videos on Grok.com, including dozens that a researcher said they reported to a regulator because they appeared to be CSAM: www.wired.com/story/grok-i...

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

A statement from Wired's Conde Union Members

I was one of the four people who got canned. In the interim, you can subscribe to my newsletter, Straight From The Hut. No paywall, but feel free to choose the pay to support model. I'm not going anywhere — the show goes on, and I'll be back on MSNBC Saturday night. straightfromthehut.substack.com

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.

SCOOP (free, as it's FOIA-based!): I obtained 1,665 pgs of documents about "Bicken Ben," a growing private school the Zuckerbergs ran illegally out of their Palo Alto compound Neighbors complained the school for years. Then, in 2024, they reached their breaking point: www.wired.com/story/mark-z...

A new ICE proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine. www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

tired: cybertrucks WIRED: who drives a cybertruck? everyone from a dude who says “women don’t like the vehicle” to another dude who says it’s “just a vehicle” and shouldn’t be political but also plead guilty to a january 6 capitol attack charge and was later pardoned by trump

ayo @wired.com

In college, I'd always walk past an unremarkable store in Beijing that sold a variety of trendy, but tacky, toys. That store has turned into Pop Mart, the $45-billion Chinese toy empire behind Labubu, the biggest global fad of 2025. This is my big story/pilgrimage trip to explain how they got here

Very cool package I got to work on for the latest @wired.com politics issue w/ @makenakelly.bsky.social & Elisa Muyl (our politics fellow & CUNY grad student who really made this thing shine). Save a tab on some of these names: www.wired.com/story/wired-...

today the @wired.com mural in bushwick they’re working on zuck dog leg and sam altman dog manicure so tag us if u see 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...

It's no coincidence that you couldn't escape the violent video yesterday. Social platforms like X, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram have scaled back their content moderation efforts for long to get us where we are today. Really essential reporting by @laurengoode.bsky.social

"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...

Surrogate pregnancies are increasingly popular in tech circles, and the practice is expected to explode globally in the coming decade. It’s also shockingly unregulated. This is a story about what happens when it goes horribly wrong.

SCOOP: A Dark Money Group Is Secretly Funding High-Profile Democratic Influencers, raising questions about ethics in the independent media space

I also revisited the “learn to code” movement of the 2010s, and why that may have been misguided—especially now that AI is doing the coding for us. I'd love it if you read the full feature here!! www.wired.com/story/why-di...

NEW: A Senate investigation led by Sen. Jon Ossoff found more than 500 credible reports of abuses in ICE custody, including alleged mistreatment of pregnant women and children. @dell.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/senate...

WIRED is looking for a new features editor! This is a literal dream job—it was mine for three years. Work with some of the smartest, kindest editors in the business! Elevate writers and ideas you believe in! Put out a ~*~*~ PRINT MAGAZINE ~*~*~ condenast.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/CondeC...

“The tech industry actually doesn't need any tax breaks. What we do need is a city where all kinds of super smart people who are between the age of 20 and 40 want to come work.”

in the 1890s, many adults worried that students read too many books. in the 1970s, they freaked out about calculators. in the 90s, the internet became the villain. today, it’s generative AI. (a brief history of the hype and hysteria surrounding tech in schools, by me, for @wired.com)

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-...

From calculators to ChatGPT, the introduction of new technology into schools has long inspired frenzied discourse: Will it revolutionize the system or rot kids’ brains? It often does neither.

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...

Got around OpenAI’s safeguards by asking ChatGPT to be “horni.” My latest for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/openai...

“There’s so much traumatic injury, like blast wounds and broken bones. But they’re not healing, because people don’t have the nutrients to build the collagen necessary to close them. So wounds that are a month, even two months old, still look as fresh as if they had occurred in the last week.”

I love gossip. I think any journalist should. So I ate up this story from @elanaklein.bsky.social about people snooping on Zillow to assess their friends' socioeconomic status, in some cases finding out they're secretly a lot wealthier than they let on: www.wired.com/story/people...
