Actual Tolkien nerd @johnsemley3000.bsky.social went deep on how poorly Elon Musk, MAGA, and other right-wing tech bros understand the Lord of the Rings. And can we all just admire this art by @anjalinair.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
Next week, 5 teens from Palestine will head to Panama to compete in one of the world’s largest youth robotics competitions.
The goal? To win—and teach STEM to their peers displaced by Israel's war and occupation of Palestine.

Just want to note that 70 percent of soy and 40 percent of corn grown in the US is used for animal feed, so maybe we could think about possibly cutting back on eating animals? Just throwing that out there.

Saw Hegseth, and as a former service member, here's my two cents.
He sounded exactly like a dude who has a chip on his shoulder because of a few unsavory reports made against him during his time in. Now he has the reins, and he's trying to make it easier to fail up rather than facing consequences.
You can hear them being called to attention at the end there. No one is going to clap while standing at attention, but possibly after they were told 'at ease.'
Nothing in the parenting books prepared me for having my Sims' intricate little worlds devastated by the lawless vampire families my 14-year-old moved into MULTIPLE neighborhoods.

Something beautiful is happening in Brooklyn, New York this week.

26-year-old @katmabu.bsky.social made her name swatting down right-wing talking points on social media. Now she’s hoping internet fame can propel her to Congress.
“I just couldn’t watch it anymore. I thought, fuck it, I’m going to run.”
From our politics issue:
Huge week here @wired.com as we're rolling out our Politics Issue. First up, check out this cover, which we're also posting all over cities across the US.
Reporting members of the UC Berkeley community to the government is reminiscent of the McCarthy era, when lives and careers were ruined merely because a person’s name showed up on a list.
It's so easy to get lost in despair right now. Big plug for angry exertion. Walking, running, lifting, punching the air. All fair game.

We're living in a fucking nightmare.
NEW: Right-wing extremists and an anonymously run website are targeting people for allegedly celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder - and posting identifying details about people accused online. Some of those targeted are now getting death threats.

Every time the Apple event cut back to Tim Cook, I couldn’t help but think about his recent visit to the White House and the utter sycophancy of his demeanor, as well as all the other tech CEOs.

Sometimes you're just having a Monday morning and then Sam Cooke comes on and you're having a religious experience instead.
Tried ChatGPT for the first time. Went in guns blazing with questions about energy usage and ethics. Came out with a new vegan cream cheese recipe to try.
