Inside Trumpworld’s Reality Distortion Field

wired.com Jake Lahut 2025-09-19 17:04:52

Before a suspect was even in custody, Trumpworld was on a wartime footing. Charlie Kirk had been fatally shot. Graphic video of the assassination hit terminal velocity online. Several sources of mine were close friends of Kirk, and when I spoke to them last week, it was clear this incident had changed the level of aggression with which they were willing to pursue a crackdown on their boss’s perceived enemies. “I think we want to confront violent left wing rhetoric. We want PEACE, and unity,” o

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-09-25 01:00:00

“Yesterday was an interesting day for the Helldivers community.” That’s the very obvious understatement that announced the reopening of the Helldivers gaming subreddit in the small hours of Saturday morning. On Friday it was discovered that Tyler Robinson, arrested for the alleged killing of Charlie Kirk, had inscribed messages on the casings of several bullets found at the crime scene. One of those read “Hey fascist! Catch!” accompanied by an up arrow symbol, a right arrow, and three down arrow

AI is going great for the blind (2023)

As I was looking at the amount of times platforms died on the web and I began thinking about the slow death of AI enthusiasm and what that will do to the Blind community.

Alexis Ohanian’s Next Social Platform Has One Rule: Don’t Act Like an Asshole

wired.com Katie Drummond 2025-10-26 05:00:00

What you're basically telling everyone is: You can go over there and talk about Jigglypuff, and go over here and spew your racist, hateful crap. And it normalizes the latter. There are plenty of places on the internet to go find that stuff. Just not at our Javits Center, so to speak. The other thing that real life does really nicely, if we keep pushing this analogy, is if you show up in the Pokémon Con and you start spewing really crazy stuff, you get a response from the people around you.

Lessons learned from buying an open source repo

Our tiny startup recently acquired the most popular open-source Unity MCP repo on GitHub, and things didn’t quite go as planned. Here are the lessons we learned for anyone considering buying an open source repo. Why we bought the repo First, we like open source and want Unity MCP to stay relevant and open source indefinitely. Second, there’s distribution: being the name behind the project. If you don’t want to set up MCP yourself, you can one-click install Coplay for a premium experience. Wh
