Clicking around to manage my subscription, I come across a page with the Wired logo and a block of text below that simply says, "Thank you for being a loyal subscriber. If you would like to manage your subscription, please click here. If you have any questions about your subscription, please give us a call at 1-855-226-5869 (1-332-237-7084 if outside the United States) or email us." A white-on-black Manage Subscription button appears below this text. The words "click here" and the Manage Subscription button both take me through multiple redirects back to the wired.com homepage. I am never shown a page to actually view my existing subscription.
Those who want Al companies to be able to train on copyrighted works without licensing the material are celebrating Trump's remarks. "He's absolutely right," says Adam Eisgrau, a senior director at the Chamber of Progress. "Common sense dictates that requiring gen-Al developers to license the copyrighted works they're trained on is both not doable and makes little sense, because those works are not plagiarized. They're used, as a person would, to learn and produce amazing technology that two federal courts have already said is 'spectacularly transformative."
A friend sends me a Terminator Skynet meme but about Grok going MechaHitler instead. When he responds that he's got Grok in his Tesla and "it’s right now just a conversational bot," I respond, "when Grok starts driving your car in a future update hopefully they'll train it to be a lawyer too so your car can represent you in court when it drives over a person because they looked like a Jew." He responds, "thats not even funny man." To which I rebut, "it's pretty funny, you're driving a car with MechaHitler in the passenger seat." Rekt
A category of Star Wars films is titled, "Featuring Characters from Fortnite"
Sam, the main character of the game Death Stranding 2, walks into an elevator. The backpack facing the camera has the word "BOOB" in white lettering on grey patches, each letter a patch. A big mushroom patch finishes the row of five.
A screenshot of Nintendo's offer to preorder the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle. It says "Good news, Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World Bundle is waiting for you! Thanks for waiting! We're happy to say it's not your turn to buy this from the My Nintendo Store. This opportunity expires on May 12, 2025 at 8:50am PDT. Please note that release-day delivery is not guaranteed." A button below says "Shop now"

Release notes for the February 2025 release of VS Code highlight Copilot-related changes in six of 11 bullet points.
Shitty AI art of an anthropomorphized cow sitting on the toilet like it's pooping, pants down at its ankles. It looks straight ahead while holding an issue of "Cute Cows" magazine, ostensibly pictures of naked cows. Some weird burrito-looking things overflow a trash can to the left of the cow. It's just so uninspired
A screenshot of the bottom of the Reddit post generator informing me that, "Before posting, please note that if your submission is simply a low-effort complaint about the current state of the app, which has already been discussed to death, it might be subject to removal while we attempt to keep engaging and interesting content flowing."
A white box on a black desktop. The box cover shows off a white a 1Mii 3.5mm male to Bluetooth adapter with a small screen, a minus button, and OK button, and a plus button. Amusingly, I ordered the black version but it still showed up in a box featuring the white model.

White text on a red sign originally say, "country over party" in the sense of "choosing the good of the nation over political party affiliation." I crudely edited the image to say, "country-comma-over-question-mark-party-exclamation-mark" to capture how it can feel like the country died with the re-election of Trump. And what else can you do in the face of that feeling but party?
