They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

My daughter lost a tooth but didn’t tell us. The next morning she said, sadly, the tooth fairy didn’t come. I asked where she put the tooth. She said, “on my dresser, in a plastic bag”. Thinking quickly, I replied, “oh that’s why! The tooth fairy needs to smell the blood on the tooth.”

Sitting down to read a book over the holidays. I read one half of a page and then my mind wonders for thirty minutes. This is why I hardly ever finish a book unless there is an audio book pushing me forward.
