how could this happen? what, just because the product is terrible, the service has no users, and the platform is astronomically expensive to maintain?

my opponent thinks we should give cedar longpenis one million dollars--this is unamerican. tonight id like to tell you about my patriotic plan that actually aims to help americans and solve the crises that plague this country. the plan is called "give cedar longpenis two million dollars"

all monetary punishments should scale with the accused's income. a millionaire gets the same speeding ticket as a working class single mother. that's disproportionate punishment. so either the single mom should be fined a nickel, or the billionaire should risk bankruptcy. im fine with either.

It’s never been about protecting women’s sports.

Screenshot of an X post by Tom Bonier stating that the “save women’s sports” crowd has been quiet since Trump mocked the U.S. women’s hockey team, suggesting they don’t genuinely care about women’s sports.

caring strongly about how someone pronounces the filename extension ".gif" in 2026 has the same energy as saying "doggo" or "sportsball." what's next? gonna ask me if a hotdog is a sandwich?

@zoesaintbernard.bsky.social i dont know the kind of person you are. i dont know your intentions, goals, interests, or experience. but i feel you've published bad journalism. i hope that you'll take this feedback to heart, and in the interest of good faith, you'll retract this article.

Claire @clairepebble.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

@zoesaintbernard.bsky.social most Wired readers are aware of the harm that billionaire technocrats inflict on society. so to make baseless, lofty claims that link this harm to queerness is the kind of cruel, dangerous bullying that honorable journalists aim to call out--not contribute to.

Claire @clairepebble.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

@zoesaintbernard.bsky.social now as a reader, i can only make assumptions regarding intent. but i'll tell you how it reads to me. it reads like the gay panic hit pieces of times i thought had passed. it feels like you've fabricated a boogeyman in hopes of scapegoating a marginalized community

Claire @clairepebble.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

@zoesaintbernard.bsky.social id love to understand what you thought you were going for here. what was the goal of a piece like this? what were you hoping the reader would come away with here? what did you think the words you published would do for tech workers, consumers, and/or queer people?

Claire @clairepebble.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

hey @zoesaintbernard.bsky.social im a Wired subscriber and queer person. im aware that journalists dont have complete control over their articles and the manner in which they are presented. but this is bad--really bad. 🧵

u ever walk by a house that's being built and think "im so glad im not building that."? because i think that all the time. im so glad im not building a house right now. i dont know how to build a house, and when i see others do it, it doesnt appear intuitive.

it feels so absurd to talk to someone who believes ICE can be "reformed." regardless of whether or not an unregulated militia of fascist sycophants that do nothing but break up families and harass communities CAN be reformed; how can you believe an organization like that is even WORTH reforming?

i cannot get my head around why people judge those that pursue the arts as a career. how are you not enamored by it? you honk a horn so well that youre able to feed and clothe yourself?? or the pictures you paint can pay your rent??? YOU'RE INCREDIBLE! TELL ME MORE!

(just curious, not interrogating your methodology) do you happen to know what counts as a single use of an emoji? i would think it would be really hard to not double dip when collecting this. do u know what the sample was? the more i think about it, the more interesting the problem seems.

interesting that while they've changed order, it has remained the same ten emoji.

agreed. not that this makes one immune to disinformation or abuse, but now is the time to rapidly improve media literacy and gather a collection of reliable, ethical, vetted sources and creators. i think people underestimate how bad it's going to get. 2 years ago, it couldn't do hands and fingers.

as a bengals fan im praying for caleb downs. he has a mind for football that we desperately need on defense. also he's capable of making a tackle. but there's no way he's around by round 10. we really need a cb2 anyway. dj turner can't do it all. good mock draft.
