In Oslo, four articulated buses trapped themselves in a roundabout yesterday.

"I don't know what I'm most impressed with: That they managed to get into the situation, or that they got out of it."
– Vet ikke hva jeg er mest imponert over: At de klarte å komme seg inn i situasjonen, eller at de kom seg ut av den

We partnered with @pablo.show to investigate Riley Gaines' rise to MAGA stardom. @msjpauly.bsky.social dug up docs that reveal the right-wing funders behind her ascent and spoke to puzzled teammates who wonder what happened to her.

Mamdani going in there calling Trump sir a couple times and singing the 1-800-588-EMPIRE jingle with him and effortlessly turning him into a committed socialist.

it's so funny to watch the far right White House press pool try to bait Trump to say something nasty about Mamdani and every time he's just like "nah this guy rocks"

WIRED is hiring for a senior politics reporter who will write our weekly newsletter; detailed job description below. This role will be based in New York or DC and report to me; the salary range is $95,000 - $132,000. condenast.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/CondeC...
WIRED seeks an experienced journalist to cover national politics, particularly the Trump administration’s efforts to remake the federal government and how other power centers—Congress, tech oligarchs, and more—are responding. In this role, you’ll be responsible for breaking news consistently. We’re less interested in horse race drama than we are in the people making consequential decisions, whether in the White House, among local and national Democrats, or Silicon Valley, and the logic guiding their actions. To succeed in this role, you should be deeply sourced at both the top and working levels of government and politics and intimately familiar with the operational mechanics of the federal government; you will ideally also have good sourcing in and understanding of the tech industry. You should have a proven ability to deliver scoops, exclusives, and stories that can’t be found anywhere else. We’re interested in hard news and the ability to put new information into a broader context. A large part of this role is writing a politics-focused newsletter every week; the ideal candidate will understand how to leverage their reporting to attract and retain subscribers, engage audiences, and drive reader loyalty in a competitive news landscape. In addition to breaking news and regular newsletter sends, there are opportunities to work on long-form feature stories and collaborate with reporters across our coverage areas as part of this role as well. You should also be prepared to engage in a wide range of storytelling formats, such as social, podcasts, video series, and live events. This senior writer will report to WIRED’s Director, Politics, Science, and Security, and will be part of a growing and increasingly global newsroom of smart, kind, collaborative, and well-informed colleagues who are always brimming with ideas and eager to help each other out. This role is in-office (4 days/week) and will be based in our New York or Washington, DC offices.

They're also responsible for one of the best emails I've ever received, when the college office sent out a plea for sightings of Professor Biscuit while conveniently forgetting to mention that he was a cat...(I won't comment on how often a similar email might have gone out about human Professors...)
Dear All Have you seen Prof Biscuit recently? Professor Biscuit is roaming Main Building or more likely, is asleep somewhere cosy. Have you seen him recently? If so, could he be persuaded to be returned to the Bursary, please?

great piece about why @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social should stick to his guns re: taking transit and biking as mayor.

but beyond that, in awe of @ndhapple.bsky.social who got a quote from Sid Davidoff about Mayor Lindsay's transportation habits days before he passed nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/18/s...

A detail not totally-widely-reported in this piece is that Mastro had been petitioned to do this by two pols who have big roles next year:

* Julie Menin (councilmember who is on track to be Council Speaker)
* Mark Levine (Comptroller-elect and is angling to invest NYC back into Israel bonds)
