‘Love Is Blind’ Embraces the Manosphere A show that started as an earnest if messy quest for love is now simply a mirror to the hell of modern dating.

If you've been watching Love Is Blind for years and feeling like it's become more and more blatantly MAGA-coded—with increasingly misogynist men, you're not alone. Had to blog it out. www.wired.com/story/love-i...

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

ICE Asks Companies About ‘Ad Tech and Big Data’ Tools It Could Use in Investigations A new federal filing from ICE demonstrates how commercial tools are increasingly being considered by the government for law enforcement and surveillance.

How can you help Minnesotans right now?

If you have a republican, call them and call them fucking cowards.

Trump Warned of a Tren de Aragua ‘Invasion.’ US Intel Told a Different Story Hundreds of records obtained by WIRED show thin intelligence on the Venezuelan gang in the United States, describing fragmented, low-level crime rather than a coordinated terrorist threat.

Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies have issued warnings alleging TdA members had been engaging in criminal activity on rideshare and food delivery apps, as well as attempting to infiltrate the local music scene in NYC by hosting “parties with DJs.”

Why ICE Can Kill With Impunity Over the past decade, US immigration agents have shot and killed more than two dozen people. Not a single agent appears to have faced criminal charges.

Our reporter spent four years investigating ICE shootings that occurred from 2015 to 2021. Some patterns emerged.

getting a lot of questions about data centers and water here so re upping this! L

Federal prosecutors quit in protest over lack of investigation into ICE shooting Six lawyers from US attorney’s office in Minnesota quit along with four leaders of DoJ’s civil rights division

So, if I'm reading this right:

4 prosecutors at the Dept of Justice Civil Rights division quit because the Trump-appointed leadership won't investigate Good's killer,

and

6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow.

NEW: ICE had initially planned a limited pilot program to hire bounty hunters and private investigators for immigrant tracking.

The agency has now scrapped that plan and is going all-in, removing the program’s spending cap and offering up to $280M to any given contractor.

Kilian Jornet Makes Other Elite Ultra Runners Look Like Us—Here Are His Essentials The world's greatest skyrunner shares the shoes, fitness tracker, and practices that let him climb every mountain in the Western United States in just 31 days.

Instead of an AI Health Coach, You Could Just Have Friends I used the public preview of Fitbit’s new AI Health Coach and became both faster and noticeably weirder.
