Say Goodbye to the Undersea Cable That Made the Global Internet Possible History was unmade last year, as engineers began the massive project of ripping the first-ever transoceanic fiber-optic cable from the ocean floor. Just don’t mention sharks.

The sharks are innocent. Or at least, they’re not eating the internet. The myth is almost as old as the global internet itself. It begins with the development of TAT-8, the first subsea fiber optic cable to cross an ocean.

In just two months, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program
-Rolled Trump into releasing a detained Columbia student
-Used fair wages to get New Yorkers to clear streets and sidewalks during a blizzard

FYI: This is what leadership looks like.

It was a cake for lunch day

Protein rice cakes. We are spending money on AI and protein rice cakes. When can we spend the money on universal childcare.

How Kansas Republicans weaponized the law to target 300 trans driver's license holders SB 244 was put into effect virtually overnight, causing chaos, panic and fear in the trans community.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

Ever wonder what happens to a cable when it’s no longer cabling? Wonder no more! This story has been a joy to write, and I hope I’ve done everyone in it justice.

I hope the story of the people of infrastructure cleanses your timeline a little. (And I promise it’s not about sharks.)

Stand With Minnesota Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

This is a reminder that ICE is still in Minnesota, that people still can’t leave their homes, and that funds are starting to run dry.

Please donate if you can. Places like food shelves are struggling to meet the community’s needs.

Why am I forced to turn on Gemini / “smart” email summaries *before* I can turn package tracking back on. Package tracking was *actually* useful. Decouple this shit. Stop forcing slop on people.

Why do we need prebiotic Pepsi, protein pop tarts, and AI summaries at the top of my emails in Gmail

One year ago I made this "How to ask for users' gender" parody page in a fit of indignant rage about Trump's anti-trans executive order and the lightning speed with which previously inclusive government forms, in now requiring binary gender options, functionally erased the existence of trans people

ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

its not complicated: any tech that can "find a lost dog" can by definition also track human beings in real time across space.

Not the kind of thing we should be cheering in the Year of our Lord 2026, least of all from Bezos Inc.

You can meet a range of access needs in low -fi prototypes if you're willing to do them in more than 1 way.

This is just so human and real and emotive
