The sweep and yet the specificity of this @benjwallace longread is something to behold. Well done. nymag.com/intelligencer/2021…
Science and statistics are great, but not enough is being written about the deeply human experience of this disaster. @elliottwoods goes straight for the heart. Must read.
Stunning profile in courage & service amid the #COVID19 pandemic.
Proud to know @AndrewMIbrahim, this story's protagonist, & countless others making incredible personal sacrifices as they do their critical work.

“This was unexpected.”
"It’s going to disappear."
A devastating oral history of all the warnings the administration should have heeded about the pandemic. wired.com/story/an-oral-hist…

An extraordinary look inside one American hospital (@umichmedicine) as it faces a tsunami of viral illness. @elliottwoods captures the humanity, courage, and despair of the moment in vivid, literate detail. First of a series for @wired. wired.com/story/in-one-hospi…
To jack up his body's nitric oxide (good for stamina) marathoner @nxthompson drank beet juice. "It’s unnerving to pee red, but at least I knew it was for the sake of science." wired.com/story/aging-marath…
Just catching up with this: one of the weirdest most beautiful profiles you’ll ever read. Lady Leadfoot. By the incomparable @msamywallace. Brava! si.com/racing/2018/10/29/den…

This piece by @jeanguerre about her father, "targeted individuals," and the way we've given ourselves over to the internet is absolutely outstanding: wired.com/story/my-father-sa…
Special piece:@jeanguerre’s father is one of thousands who believe the government is subjecting them to mind control. As a journalist, she felt a duty to investigate his claims. Are “targeted individuals” trying to tell us something about the digital age? wired.com/story/my-father-sa…
Many thanks @Longreads @markarms for giving a shout out to @brendankoerner's terrific tale of a swatting gone wrong. It's a deeply human story, but also one with public policy implications: Cops need to be aware that they might be getting pranked. @WIRED wired.com/story/swatting-dea…
This searing @wired article by @brendankoerner is extraordinary. The story of how a random prank (swatting) turned deadly is not only riveting, it's an exploration of human folly, loss, and the redemption that can come from turning tragedy into action. wired.com/story/swatting-dea…
A masterful profile of scientist Jim Allison, who just won a Nobel. Not only does it capture the Texan’s infectious brilliance, it lucidly explains the most important cancer breakthrough in 50 years. So delighted to have @charlesgraeber back in @Wired! wired.com/story/meet-jim-all…
Astute analysis from @ArmsControlWonk (and that Twitter handle!)
Bob Woodward’s book paints Trump as a far more absurd character than I could have gotten away with in The #2020Commission. Me in @WIRED.

Watching paint dry was never so fascinating. Leave it to @jetjocko in @WIRED. wired.com/story/car-paint-co…
Spot on and brilliant must-read from @MollyMcKew and @MarkHertling in @politico: Trump dismissed the cyberattacks on the US. "This is disarming the American public in what should be the most important fight in our history." politico.com/magazine/story/…
Most lucid analysis yet of the new Mueller indictments, courtesy of @vermontgmg on @WIRED wired.com/story/mueller-indi…

Big story from @a_greenberg:
The DOJ has settled a lawsuit w/ a 3-D gunmaker who claimed a 1st amendment right to distribute information on the internet -- even if that "speech" is the blueprint for making a gun.
This could hugely undermine gun control: wired.com/story/a-landmark-l…
This is a disturbing and must-read scoop by the indomitable @a_greenberg xitter.cf/a_greenberg/status/101…
Five years ago, Cody Wilson released files on the web for the first 3D printable gun. The government tried to stop him. He sued. Now he's won. So he's launching a new online library of gun files designed to let anyone download and build lethal DIY weapons. wired.com/story/a-landmark-l…
California politicians like @londonbreed, @scott_weiner, and even @gavinnewsom are all talking about housing. It’s the only way to fix homelessness. And we know how, says @jetjocko. wired.com/story/big-tech-isn…
The always-thoughtful @jetjocko explains that we KNOW how to fix West Coast homelessness (and high real estate prices!), we just don't have the WILL to make it happen. Valuable reading. wired.com/story/big-tech-isn…
