Really proud of us at @wired.com for this. The work we did on DOGE is some of the work I am personally proudest of, and it's amazing to see that work and impact recognized.

Meta recently added new restrictions around "Antifa content" on Facebook and Instagram. Internal documents I reviewed show it applies when a user merely uses the word "Antifa" in a post.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Post from me from December 2024 that says RFK Jr. is not trained in any area of medicine or science. He has never applied for a research grant, conducted an experiment, or published a peer-reviewed paper. We should never, EVER compromise with people who lie about vaccines and public health.
I have never wavered in my position that there can be no compromise with RFK Jr. He is a dangerous fraud who has caused incalculable damage to public health.
It’s extremely disappointing that the President of the American Medical Association was doing a photo op with RFK Jr. this morning.
This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.
Computer use /Browser use is the next big thing for AI - Basically AI that does stuff for you in your browser. The problem is that until today, no one had a full open source version, with full open source training data to see how it all works.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.
Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.
They are good for society and the economy.
I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.
State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

This handsome fella just whistled at me. When I said "Hello, pretty bird," he replied "What cha doing?" I said, "I'm walking. What are YOU doing?" "Nothing much," he replied. True story. I love my SF neighborhood.

Open source devs consider making hogs pay for every download www.theregister.com/2026/02/28/o... via @theregister.com & @sjvn.bsky.social
Billion-dollar companies have been treating #opensource code repositories like they have infinite, free resources. Spoiler: They don't. The bill is coming due.
How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?
