Climate change is out of control and microplastics are poisoning our oceans, so it's important to make eco-friendly choices. Here are some of our favorite products to help you reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow the spread of plastic waste. wired.trib.al/qDmWlLw 1/7
The Australian company Seljak makes beautiful blankets out of 100% recycled materials. Even better, each blanket is made from production scraps so there's little waste. This is a pricey blanket, but it's one you can feel good about. wired.trib.al/qPMZaPO 📸: Seljak 2/7 Image
The Preserve Toothbrush feels more natural than typical straight toothbrushes. It comes in ultra-soft, soft, and medium firmness levels and an array of colors. The handle is made of 100% recycled plastics. wired.trib.al/9zGjZbX 📸: Preserve 3/7 Image
Surfers need wetsuits to conserve body heat in cold water, but they are made from petroleum-derived products that never break down. Suga collects used and damaged wet suits and turns them into dense, comfortable, and attractive yoga mats. wired.trib.al/sHzZcSi 📸: Suga 4/7 Image
Ditch the scratchy mesh interior. Fair Harbor swim trunks are made of 12 recycled plastic bottles and 88% recycled polyester. They have a soft, quick-drying liner similar to a boxer brief made from recycled bottles as well. wired.trib.al/BmF61pH 📸: Fair Harbor 5/7 Image
Discarded plastic fishing nets are a big threat to ocean wildlife. Bureo takes discarded fishing nets and turns them into recycled plastic products, like the Ahi, a performance cruiser, designed in collaboration with Carver Skateboards. wired.trib.al/VQ4hvla 📸: Bureo 6/7 Image

Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings and sexual assaults in several states, warns an FBI bulletin to law enforcement agencies issued last month.
wired.com/story/fbi-warn…
Citing five 2025 incidents involving fake immigration officers, the bulletin says criminals are using ICE’s heightened profile to target vulnerable communities, making it harder to distinguish between lawful officers and imposters.
wired.com/story/fbi-warn…
Federal rules require immigration officers to identify themselves and state the reason for an arrest “as soon as it is practical and safe to do so.” The standard has not changed since it was codified, yet advocates say it is increasingly ignored.

Thirty years ago, an Austrian theologian spoke to Peter Thiel about the theories of Carl Schmitt, the theorist tapped by the Nazis to justify Germany's slip from democracy to dictatorship. Those theories have been a roadmap for the billionaire ever since.
wired.com/story/the-real…
Schmitt is remembered for two theories: his incisive Weimar-era critique of liberalism and his decision to join the Nazi party in the run-up to the Second World War.

In 1996, theologian Wolfgang Palaver introduced Thiel to these ideas at a conference.

Also, some terms we gotta break down:

Mimetic Rivalry: Violence that results from humans’ fundamental tendency to imitate each other—specifically to mimic each other’s desires. A key concept for Rene Girard, Thiel’s biggest intellectual influence.

In an industry once known for cushy perks, some founders are now asking staff to commit to a 72-hour weekly schedule. You’re either in or you’re out. wired.com/story/silicon-…
Would you like to work nearly double the standard 40-hour week? It’s a question that many startups in the US are asking prospective employees—and to get the job, the answer needs to be an unequivocal yes. wired.com/story/silicon-…
These companies are embracing an intense schedule, first popularized in mainland China, known as “996,” or 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week. That’s a 72-hour work week, in case you’re doing the math. wired.com/story/silicon-…

Generative AI has put data centers under the spotlight, and surging electricity needs could increase risk of fires. wired.com/story/x-data-c…
A recent, hours-long fire at a data center used by Elon Musk’s X may have begun after an electrical or mechanical issue in a power system, according to an official fire investigation. wired.com/story/x-data-c…
Data center giant Digital Realty operates the 13-acre site, and multiple people familiar with the matter previously told WIRED that the Musk-run social platform X has servers there. wired.com/story/x-data-c…

NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”
wired.com/story/the-fbis…
The nearly three-minute discrepancy may be related to the widely reported one-minute gap—between 11:58:58 pm and 12:00:00 am—that attorney general Pam Bondi has attributed to a nightly system reset.
wired.com/story/the-fbis…Image
This comes after WIRED reported that the video had been stitched together in Adobe Premiere Pro from two video files, contradicting the Justice Department’s claim that it was “raw” footage.

It’s unclear what the minutes cut from the first clip showed.

BREAKING: Metadata shows the FBI’s ‘raw’ Jeffrey Epstein prison video was likely modified. wired.com/story/metadata…
Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using a Adobe Premiere Pro. wired.com/story/metadata…
Experts caution that it’s unclear what exactly was edited, and that the metadata does not prove deceptive manipulation. wired.com/story/metadata…
