Touring with Alexisonfire in June!

for the record i was being entirely genuine!

"chronicling the incidents that led to him being permanently barred from Bristol City home fixtures"

"Mr Lumber was also recognised for his robust political activism and outspoken criticism of the current government"

"He was a prominent figure in the football casual scene during the 1980s"

Scientists Thought Parkinson’s Was in Our Genes. It Might Be in the Water New ideas about chronic illness could revolutionize treatment, if we take the research seriously.

New on @wired.com today is this haunting story from David Ferry that's about a spike in Parkinson's disease cases linked to a military base in North Carolina, but also about the complex relationship between our health and our environment.

I could totally see this, but only because an Uber is going to cost about £800

Parkinson’s disease has environmental toxic factors, not just genetic. www.wired.com/story/scient...

Enhanced Fortifies Executive Leadership Team & Board of Directors - Enhanced At Enhanced, we are pioneering a new era in athletic competition that embraces scientific advancements to push the boundaries of human performance.

Looks like Enhanced Games founder Aron d'Souza is no longer going to be involved with the event going forward. Comes right after an $800m lawsuit against WADA was thrown out of court, too.

This seems like a really good way to get the Earth blown up by aliens

Musk's obsession with meddling with UK politics continues....urging people to get behind "hard man Tommy Robinson."

I wrote about why he's so interested in this side of the Atlantic here: www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The Haunting Story of Two People—and Their Bots—on Therapy’s New Frontier As millions confide in ChatGPT about their most intimate problems, these relationships are even stranger, more moving, and more insidious than we've imagined.

This story -- by Alex Mar -- blew my mind. It's about two people who try AI, immediately get pulled into the strange and hypnotic power of LLM as therapist and then -- try to get out www.wired.com/story/ai-the...

I also always wonder – if these are the things these people are willing to say in public, on national radio, how much worse are the things they actually think?

But yeah, when they say it's about 'integration' or 'cultural coherence' they are lying – if they're using your face to sell BirdsEye fish fingers during an ad break on Britain's Got Talent, you are integrated. It's your skin colour they don't like.

The Sarah Pochin stuff is proper mask-off racism from a Reform MP, and it's shocking (but not surprising) that it's actually a matter for debate on a mainstream news show (albeit one that's been buried in the graveyard slot for years).

AI of a Thousand Faces What happens now that AI is everywhere and in everything? WIRED can’t tell the future, but we can try to make sense of it. Behold: 17 readings from the furthest reaches of the AI age.

🎇New package alert @wired.com! This one has been in the works for months. If WIRED was going to tackle AI -- something we cover daily -- we had to go big. So here are 17 different stories about the way AI is changing us, even as the technology itself keeps moving www.wired.com/ai-issue/

A Journey Into the Heart of Labubu I made an epic trek across four countries to answer one question: Why is the world going mad for a plushie monster?

Some incredible details in this great @wired.com story by @zeyiyang.bsky.social on the Labubu craze.

I also love the phrase 'heinous item' and plan to integrate it into my day-to-day speech

She Fought the Far Right Online for Years. Now She Wants to Do It in Congress Kat Abughazaleh, 26, made her name swatting down right-wing talking points on social media. Now she’s hoping internet fame can propel her to Congress.

popping back in from mat leave to say i profiled @katmabu.bsky.social for @wired.com and you should read it! she's running a fascinating campaign: www.wired.com/story/kat-ab...

I can overuse the em-dash just fine on my own thank you very much

The Definitive, Insane, Swimsuit-Bursting Story of the Steroid Olympics At first it was dismissed as a crazy joke. Making the Enhanced Games a reality needed a Peter Thiel posse, a couple of retired swimmers, some MAGA money, and a whole lot of drugs.

Here's my @wired.com deep dive on the Enhanced Games—an Olympics where you can take drugs—from earlier this year www.wired.com/story/enhanc...

The Enhanced Games just announced its first non-swimmer – US 100m sprinter and Olympic silver medalist Fred Kerley! This is... quite a big deal and is going to make a lot of people very angry

Humans are Racing to Control the Weather—Using Drones, Lasers, and Salt Desert countries like the United Arab Emirates are searching for ways to make it rain. New technologies might make this possible, but at what price?

US congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is on a crusade against weather modification—she's holding a hearing today and has been trying to get it banned.

But how does the tech actually work? Does it work at all? In 2024 I went to the UAE to find out

The Superyacht, the Billionaire, and a Wildly Improbable Disaster at Sea The last night of tech mogul Mike Lynch’s life has become fodder for conspiracy theories. For the first time, the whole story can be told.

Like many people, I was a little obsessed with the strangeness of the Mike Lynch sinking. So we assigned the story to Bradley Hope and got the first detailed accounting from inside the boat www.wired.com/story/mike-l...

Really great story!

Our son Rayan would have turned three today.

This is something I wrote a little while ago about grief, loss, hope and all the rest of it.
