Spending time with people who have spent their careers restoring burned records was some of the most fun I've ever had reporting, and my research on my grandfather took all sorts of surprising twists. I hope you'll check out the story. 💜 wired.com/story/the-night-17…

The Night 17 Million Precious Military Records Went Up in Smoke

Fifty years ago, a fire ripped through the National Personnel Records Center. It set off a massive project to save crucial pieces of American history—including, I hoped, my grandfather’s.

What is Zelensky @ZelenskyyUa actually saying in his videos? It's a rhetorical rout of the highest order—a bloodbath for tyrannical platitudes. Me @WIRED wired.com/story/volodymyr-ze…

Volodymyr Zelensky and the Art of the War Story

Video dispatches from the Ukrainian president skillfully dissolve Putin’s delusions. We would all do well to listen.

About a year ago, my mom was scammed by some guys who told her they were calling to help her secure my parents’ finances. For @WIRED, I wrote about what it’s been like for us to deal with the fallout—mentally, emotionally, logistically. wired.com/story/phone-scam-p…

They Were ‘Calling to Help.’ Then They Stole Thousands

When my mom fell victim to a phone scam, we learned a painful truth: The explosion of personal finance apps makes it all too easy to target vulnerable people.

For weeks, observers of North Korea have noted that the country's internet seemed to be under attack, with all its websites down at times. This wasn't the work of US Cyber Command. It was a single hacker getting even after NK spies targeted him last year. wired.com/story/north-korea-…

North Korea Hacked Him. So He Took Down Its Internet

Disappointed with the lack of US response to the Hermit Kingdom's attacks against US security researchers, one hacker took matters into his own hands.

Zuck is out, Musk is in: "WIRED asked more than a dozen young startup founders between the ages of 15 and 30 who inspires them. More than half brought up @elonmusk. Others mentioned techno-optimists like @sama and @patrickc." wired.com/story/young-entrep… via @pardesoteric

Who Do Young Entrepreneurs Look Up To? Elon Musk

Steve Jobs is dead, Mark Zuckerberg is tarnished. For the next generation of startup founders, the contributions of Bill Gates feel like ancient history.

I would love to pet Coco. He is 4 years old and has been looking for a home for 757 days. He is up for adoption through @MainLineRescue. Coco is nervous to meet new people but the shelter is also stressful.

Californian democracy is wild. Newsome could get support from 49.9% of the state and get recalled; then one of the opponents could win with a plurality of votes, like 15%. And then, if Feinstein retires, flip the Senate while appointing her replacement. bit.ly/38h9bFJ

What California’s Recall Election Says About America

Gavin Newsom’s struggles could spell trouble for Democrats everywhere.

Amanda Knox is an interesting thinker, and this is a great thread about how stories are (mis)represented.
Amanda Knox
@amandaknox29 Jul 2021
Replying to @amandaknox
This new film by director Tom McCarthy, starring Matt Damon, is “loosely based” or “directly inspired by” the “Amanda Knox saga,” as Vanity Fair put it in a for-profit article promoting a for-profit film, neither of which I am affiliated with.
