So now that we're here, you have to know more about what happened with Mark Sanford in 2020 to understand what happened with Olivia and Bobby in 2024. And you have to know more about Bobby's "poetry" to understand why he and Olivia plotted to destroy me.

Remember the bamboo from Part 1? Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy. But Olivia has reignited a campaign of misinformation about what really happened, and Bobby, who has denied everything, is one of the most consequential policymakers in America.

WIRED seeks an experienced journalist to cover national politics, particularly the Trump administration’s efforts to remake the federal government and how other power centersβ€”Congress, tech oligarchs, and moreβ€”are responding.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for breaking news consistently. We’re less interested in horse race drama than we are in the people making consequential decisions, whether in the White House, among local and national Democrats, or Silicon Valley, and the logic guiding their actions. To succeed in this role, you should be deeply sourced at both the top and working levels of government and politics and intimately familiar with the operational mechanics of the federal government; you will ideally also have good sourcing in and understanding of the tech industry.

You should have a proven ability to deliver scoops, exclusives, and stories that can’t be found anywhere else. We’re interested in hard news and the ability to put new information into a broader context. A large part of this role is writing a politics-focused newsletter every week; the ideal candidate will understand how to leverage their reporting to attract and retain subscribers, engage audiences, and drive reader loyalty in a competitive news landscape. 

In addition to breaking news and regular newsletter sends, there are opportunities to work on long-form feature stories and collaborate with reporters across our coverage areas as part of this role as well. You should also be prepared to engage in a wide range of storytelling formats, such as social, podcasts, video series, and live events. 

This senior writer will report to WIRED’s Director, Politics, Science, and Security, and will be part of a growing and increasingly global newsroom of smart, kind, collaborative, and well-informed colleagues who are always brimming with ideas and eager to help each other out. This role is in-office (4 days/week) and will be based in our New York or Washington, DC offices.

r/frugal thread

traded my space heater for a chick brooding lamp and am saving 75% on electricity and feeling even warmer (plus my little dog loves it)

I am living in an RV where insulation is minimal so | really rely on the "heat the person not the house" principle. Last winter I used a 1,000 watt electric space heater to keep me and my little doggy warm until freezing temperatures hit, but I wanted to see if I could slim down even more on the electric bill without sacrificing any comfort.
This whole past week it has been between 40-50f (4.5-10c) so l've been able to give my chick brooding lamp a proper test. I'm actually finding that (on top of being 4x more efficient per hour), it is also better at heating me (and my usually-cold little dog) than the electric space heater was. About 36" below the lamp gets to 85(29.5) degrees, and the indoor air temp gets to about 10 (4.5) degrees warmer than outside if I keep in on for a couple of hours. I think if I ran it all day it could handle another 10 degrees colder no problem.
I spent just $21 on the setup: $10 on the 10" Aluminum clamp light with a 300w maximum wattage ceramic base, and $11 on the 250w Red

Be very careful using this. Lots of chicken coops and barns have burned down due to the lamps falling on flammable surfaces. Make sure it's well secure and away from flammable materials.

I am this person. Burned down my entire house brooding ducks. I'm telling you it don't have to completely touch. Not in a million billion years will I ever do this.
Op this is a really really bad idea and one that causes way more fires than anything else. I also know someone else this happened to. It's so common everyone knows someone and sometimes multiple people.
I'm literally begging you. Not in a self righteous way but I promise it's not worth it
