Right after the Cornell Jane Doe story broke, a site called JaneDoeMerch.com started selling I Am Jane Doe hats and T-shirts, claiming the proceeds would go to Jane Doe's legal fund. Her lawyer knows nothing about it. Read my story on Jane Doe merch at @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/meet-t...

You'd think that conservative men would mostly be interested in trad wives — but according to the matchmakers I spoke with for @wired.com, that's not true. In cities like SF, LA, and NYC, even liberal men are increasingly asking to be set up with "traditional" women. www.wired.com/story/matchm...

My latest story for @wired.com is about how streamers like Clavicular are making tons of money humiliating OnlyFans models — even though Clav is (allegedly) directly profiting off them by running an OF agency behind the scenes. www.wired.com/story/stream...

“The MAGA crowd is made of dumb people — like, SUPER dumb people. And they fall for it.” For my @wired.com feature debut, I talked to Sam, a guy who made thousands of dollars on Instagram by scamming MAGA men with Emily Hart, an AI generated, Trump-loving influencer. www.wired.com/story/ai-gen...

Meanwhile over on X this guy wants engagement so fucking bad that he’s willing to promote blood libel conspiracy theories to get it (the kid is a goat, by the way, as he conveniently explains further down in the thread)

1) the AI fruit videos all come from one specific custom GPT called Object Talk. The company that makes it exclusively helps people make AI slop. 2) anyone can make them. i made one in 10 minutes. 3) because they are manipulating us in a very specific way, and we are getting stupider

This is actually a very good recent example. This is nakedly antisemitic language, and Mamdani was absolutely correct to disavow these remarks.

Anyone who thinks antisemitism is not an existential threat should read this piece by @michellegoldberg.bsky.social immediately, particularly these two grafs, in which she talks to a progressive Mamdani supporter who also listens to Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/o...

“Disney is a thorn in my side”: for @thecut.com I spoke to people in Disney adult gap relationships — or couples where one person likes Disney way more than the other. As you can see, it’s an extremely specific form of hell. www.thecut.com/article/disn...

A few months later, Epstein asked Soon-Yi to introduce one of the young women who had been an extra on "Wonder Wheel" (whose identity has been redacted) to Woody Allen's casting director, Patricia DiCerto. "Anything for you," she wrote back.

Ej Dickson @ejdickson.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
In June 2016, Epstein emailed Woody's wife Soon-Yi about casting his "assistants" in the project that would be "Wonder Wheel," saying he would find it "amusing." Soon-Yi said she would ask him, adding, "Nice to know that he has extras :-)" www.thecut.com/article/wood...

In 2014, according to his emails, Epstein got 3 of his "assistants," including longtime GF Karyna Shuliak, cast as extras in Irrational Man, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone. A woman who very much resembles Shuliak appears in a shot in the final cut of the film around the 57:00 mark

this paragraph is virtually indistinguishable from something Tucker Carlson would've said on the air a year ago (now he wouldn't add the caveat). It is so shortsighted/offensive to blame Jewish clannishness on Epstein's rise when the institutions that propped him up reached SO much wider than that.

Did you know the concept of the “good” vs “bad” mother is a relatively new one? In the US, it’s only existed for about 100 years. Before that the standard was basically: don’t kill your kids. That’s it. I talked about it with @reshmasaujani.bsky.social on her podcast My So-Called Midlife:

I talked to Nomiki Konst for @thecut.com about her split from former NYC mayor Bill De Blasio, who publicly cheated on her with the mayor of south Tucson. Nomiki says she and BDB talked about having a baby, and the day he told her he cheated they did a round of IVF. www.thecut.com/article/nomi...

What seems evident, however, is Karolina took the cultural obsession w/ clean eating and purity to a dangerous extreme. One former raw vegan deeply regrets introducing her to the lifestyle: "She was healing, & she took a step back because my ED was feeding hers." www.thecut.com/article/karo...
1222
Ej Dickson @ejdickson.bsky.social · 25/09/2025
Many of the raw vegans I spoke to said Karolina's death had nothing to do with her diet. They believe she died because she refused help and essentially lost the will to live. Many declined to speak w/ me, fearing the story would reflect poorly on the community. www.thecut.com/article/karo...

After a few months in Bali, Karolina checked into a retreat in the outskirts of Ubud. She was so weak the staff had to turn her over in bed. She was found dead on Dec. 11, 2024. She was just 27 years old. www.thecut.com/article/karo...

Ej Dickson @ejdickson.bsky.social · 25/09/2025
Some offered to help Karolina recover on a raw vegan diet. She met Jenn Peach, an influencer who claimed she could heal women w/ EDs, asking to stay w/ her. Jenn said no. “It was too much on my nervous system to be around someone that I think is going to die," she said www.thecut.com/article/karo...

Ej Dickson @ejdickson.bsky.social · 25/09/2025
When she got to Bali, it was nothing like she expected. Her weight was also dangerously low. She refused to go to the hospital or see a doctor, and she was deeply depressed. "It would have been better to die than try to manifest something beautiful," she told a friend. www.thecut.com/article/karo...

Ej Dickson @ejdickson.bsky.social · 25/09/2025
As she became more isolated, Karolina's health declined. On Facebook, she frequently posted in raw vegan groups w/ questions about her crumbling fingernails or rotting teeth. The answer was always the same: get more sun, eat more fruit. www.thecut.com/article/karo...

Karolina Krzyzak, 27, was an aspiring influencer from Poland who struggled with anorexia. When she found fruitarianism, she became deeply immersed in the community, despite the concerns of her family and friends. Her posts show her rapidly wasting away. www.thecut.com/article/karo...

I wrote about my weekend with Charlie Kirk and 3000 of his Gen Z female fans at a TPUSA event last June. As Dems compete to see who can mourn him most vocally, it’s important to point out his real legacy: inspiring very young women to lead submissive lives. www.thecut.com/article/char...

pretty astonishing to see people celebrating Charlie Kirk getting shot when this is the dominant reaction on X, and it will only continue to grow over the next few days

But it's not necessarily because they're becoming pickier. Sometimes, it's because they don't have a "safe space" to express their anxieties about becoming a husband or father, and manufacture arbitrary reasons to opt out, one guy told me. www.thecut.com/article/what...

The vast majority (72 percent) are looking for a relationship, while more than half said they want to get married one day. (That's more than 34% of single women, fwiw). Still, they are "Frankensteining the ideal person in their heads," one guy said. www.thecut.com/article/what...

25% of men say they use dating apps daily and many feel burdened by the "illusion of choice" that comes w/ the apps. This leads to them breaking up w/ women for...dumb reasons. (My fave is the guy who dumped someone bc she talked too much like Cat Cohen) www.thecut.com/article/what...

But their arguments contain a lot of right-wing dog whistles & easily fact-checked misinfo. Just an example: they argue on Tucker that infants shouldnt be routinely vaccinated against hep B, bc the primary routes of transmission are drugs/sexual activity. Not true: www.thecut.com/article/case...
