A long vertical screenshot of the WIRED Daily email newsletter. The top story features a photo of Elon Musk with the headline “Elon Musk Wants ‘Strong Influence’ Over the ‘Robot Army’ He’s Building.” Other stories include: “AI Models Get Brain Rot, Too,” “ChatGPT’s Horny Era Could Be Its Stickiest Yet,” “The Long Tail of the AWS Outage,” “What Happens if the Internet Goes Dark?,” “This ‘Privacy Browser’ Has Dangerous Hidden Features,” “No, ICE (Probably) Didn’t Buy Guided Missile Warheads,” “Historians Don’t Think a US Civil War Is Likely—but They’re Still Nervous,” and “GM’s New ‘Eyes-Off’ System Lets AI Take the Wheel While You Doze Off.”
Each headline has a thumbnail image, and the newsletter ends with social media icons and a footer inviting readers to subscribe to WIRED.

Screen shot of Reddit post with this comment - Are you familiar with the Budapest Memorandum? Ukraine already paid for our aid by giving up their nuclear arsenal after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Technically, we only provided
"assurances" that their sovereignty would be respected, as did the UK and Russia, which are not legally binding. But it's a pretty dick move to say, "give up your nukes and we promise you'll be safe" then leave them high and dry when they get invaded.
ETA: good on you for trying to change your mind. That's some seriously tough shit to go through

Photo of my dog Luna staring at me with her head on table

A phot of my black Labradoodle, called Luna, lies sprawled out on her back on a grey couch. She has a curly, fluffy coat and is wearing red collar. The dog is completely relaxed in a comfortable sleeping position, with her legs stretched out. Her curly fur creates a striking contrast against the smooth texture of the couch upholstery. She is grinning.

An educational infographic showing five sequential steps for navigating social media manipulation, displayed as vertical oval rings in different colors (blue, green, yellow-green, yellow, and orange) connected by arrows on a dark background. Each ring represents a stage: 1) 'Verify Information' (blue) - Cross-check sources and facts, 2) 'Recognize Manipulation' (green) - Identify emotional triggers, 3) 'Identify Fake Accounts' (yellow-green) - Scrutinize profiles and interactions, 4) 'Understand Algorithms' (yellow) - Diversify content exposure, and 5) 'Protect from Exploitation' (orange) - Report suspicious activities. Small grey dots are scattered around the rings, and curved arrows indicate the flow between stages.
