Ok I know I’m late to Super Bowl ads discourse, but anyone newly surprised/concerned by that Ring ad hasn’t been paying attention even a little bit to what Ring is.

They’ve never pretended to just make security cameras; the networking and face ID tech has been part of their brand for years.

Super Bowl Tailgaters on Bad Bunny, Big Tech, and the Big Game We met up with attendees of Super Bowl LX’s pregame festivities to get their takes on the competing halftime shows, the potential for ICE actions, and the influence of Silicon Valley on the event.

For @wired.com, I went to a Super Bowl tailgate party near Levi’s Stadium yesterday to ask attendees for their thoughts on ICE, AI, and the halftime show culture wars.

What I found was a LOT of love for Bad Bunny, not too much love for ICE, and some really fun fashion moments. πŸ‘‡

Thanks to WIRED for documenting what I witnessed.
It shows what’s happening behind online scam operations.

Since last year, we’ve been reporting on ICE extensively. But every week brings new information, and it’s getting harder to keep track of what’s happening, let alone remember what’s already happened.

So here’s a quick thread to help.

The First Amendment is not optional and journalism is not a crime.

ICE Pretends It’s a Military Force. Its Tactics Would Get Real Soldiers Killed WIRED asked an active military officer to break down immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis and elsewhere.

β€œICE agents’ tactics often seem to be modeled off what they’ve seen in movies or imbibed via TV shows or video games...ICE agents aren’t moving with a tactical focus; they’re doing what they think will look cool and intimidating in photographs.”

HHS will allow pharmacies to boycott lifesaving drugs used in medication abortion Misoprostol and methotrexate do more than end pregnanciesβ€”but anti-abortion pharmacists can now refuse to offer them and still get federal funds.

The Trump administration formally withdrew federal guidance that required pharmacies to dispense methotrexate. Chronically ill people may face more challenges in getting this drug for their health. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

He Leaked the Secrets of a Southeast Asian Scam Compound. Then He Had to Get Out Alive A source trapped inside an industrial-scale scamming operation contacted me, determined to expose his captors’ crimesβ€”and then escape. This is his story.

Incredible story by @agreenberg.bsky.social, both on the scam compound operation and how he navigated a uniquely difficult and dangerous situation for his source. This one should be required reading for journalism ethics classes: www.wired.com/story/he-lea...

I had a grand mal seizure once, ten years ago, totally out of the blue. The people around me then who caught me as I was falling and turned me onto my side most likely saved my life.

I cannot fathom being anything other than eternally grateful to those people. These ICE agents are fucking scum.

I’ve spent the last few weeks feeling outraged, and I think it’s kept me going. But the heartbreak has been there all along, and I think this picture unleashed it. Can’t stop crying. He’s only five years old.

How can life as usual continue after this? I really don’t know.
