@chr1sa @antoniogm This is sloppy thinking. The last thing Wired needs to be is an insider access journal shot through with Silicon Valley thinking. Distance, and an appreciation for the humanities, is what tech coverage needs. Not VC handjobs.

@antoniogm You can time the shift to exactly when the EICs started living in Brooklyn, not SF. I held the SF line during my tenure, resisting the Conde Nast NYC pull, but it didn't last long after that.

I used to write for Wired, and even as late as 2017, it often took a punchy, open-minded view of technology and its possibilities. Now it’s just your usual anti-tech slop written by clueless activists. It’s not even a shadow of its former self, but a pathetic parody.

I used to love this brand. I dedicated 12+ years of my life to it. We saved it from going out of business twice. There has never been a more exciting moment in time to report on tech & innovation. Instead, they have chosen to focus on politics & framing everything with such negativity.

@CathyYoung63 I think this is a bad shooting and also don't understand why they thought ICE would be using rubber bullets in an immigration sweep. It's like they forgot that while they were there to protest, ICE was there to do immigration raids.

I see people citing "Why did you have real bullets" from Renee Good's partner as proof of living in a make-believe world. Um, rubber bullets are VERY widely used in protest situations (& aren't harmless). So stop ghoulishly using this to mock people who've suffered a tragedy.

not calling out anyone in particular here but guys, if your theory of the 60 Minutes segment snafu hinges on Bari Weiss being at once cartoonishly evil, completely corrupt, AND a bumbling incompetent on the order of a Scooby Doo villain, you may want to examine your biases a bit

That's the second time Giannis has gotten one of these calf injuries when he was just jogging along. Same thing happened for the one that cost him the 24 playoffs

I’m as frustrated as you that it’s not everywhere, but new theaters will be added so keep checking - and also if you’re inclined it wouldn’t hurt to contact the manager of your local theater and (politely!) ask them if it’s coming.

In other words, a person committing murder and not receiving the death penalty should be exceedingly rare, at the very least.

The death penalty should be the normative punishment for all parties involved in murder.

@ViralNewsNYC I disagree. Sliwa staying in convinced many Cuomo voters it was a foregone conclusion so they didn’t vote. If Sliwa had dropped, Cuomo could have won.

@Maria4Dist6 You are telling only on yourself when you associate 'the rich' with 'the Jews.'

It’s interesting to see people not get that the whole point of the Tax the Rich chant is to disguise an anti-Semitic trope. The extremist left are truly, deeply hateful of Jewish people. They try to hide it but it can’t help but rear its ugly vile head. It is so obvious what they are doing: bash Israel, bash successful Jews, bash anyone who calls out anti-semitism. Tax the Rich has to of course start with NYC, home to more Jews than anywhere else outside of Israel.

Every time I hear Mandami’s anti- Semitic base shouting “Tax the Rich”, what I really thing they are saying is “Tax the Jews.” They are obsessed with bashing Israel and wealthy Jewish New Yorkers like @BillAckman . Connect the dots . @GovKathyHochul going along with this is repulsive. And having Jewish Bernie there for cover redefines the phrase “useful idiots.” This whole thing really gives me the creeps. Just vote @andrewcuomo tomorrow if you haven’t done so already. Let’s send the message hate has no place in NYC. @OneCityRisingNY @JCAndersonNYC @RezaC1 @Megmd514 @TaliGoldsheft @AlizaLicht @LattinaBrown @HikindDov @TheRealSPONY @savetheuws @SoupandtheCity @stick_dynamite @Hoodview @InnaVernikov @TonyLTalks @TheKvetcher @david_sivella @TheJewishAlly @RealTonyHerbert @queens_parents @ycinnewyork @GaryTilzer @GAGreenberg

“I hear you,” Hochul says after several rounds of “tax the rich. ““I love to see this energy and the passion. Mamdani comes out on stage for the first time tonight to hug her and raise arms in triumph with her.

@asymmetricinfo Kind of like you'll look clueless when you don't understand the nature of an 'auntie' in non-white (and particularly southeast Asian) cultures.

But you will definitely not win that argument by suggesting they should have worked harder unless you have personally been swimming for hours every single day for more than a decade. You will just look utterly clueless.

@brofromanother @TorontoStar This movie is not good. This review is weirdly irresponsible. It seems to be about a movie that was in your head, but not on the screen. On the screen, very little happens, characters are sketchily drawn, and scenes drag out needlessly (hayloft).

BlueSky users, frustrated with the fact that I am not on there to yell at, continue to email me to let me know that I’ve failed at my job (commissioning and editing every article at the New York Times, and writing all the headlines too). It’s like a time machine for me.
