I’m an editor at WIRED and have previously written and edited for a number of places. [email protected]. Signal me at timmarchman.01. I periodically delete all my posts.
I don’t generally have any useful advice for younger writers but let me STRONGLY recommend a pen and a notebook here. You don’t even have to type it up; there’s software for that and even a chatbot will do it perfectly.
Excuse me, what? Your "cloud of consciousness"?

The reviews of Olivia Nuzzi’s book are such that the only thing I brought on a seven hour flight is a book about German and Soviet internment camps in World War II and I’m not grabbing American Canto even as a failsafe.

NEW: Reports of DOGE’s death aren’t highly exaggerated, they’re wrong. Follow @makenakelly.bsky.social and @telliotter.bsky.social on a voyage into the federal agencies where all your favorite young engineers are burrowed in ”like ticks.”

I'm really fascinated by the way this administration seems to think "kinetic strike" is a sort of magical phrase as opposed to being to being ridiculous military jargon. Hegseth uses it a lot the way a teenager will use some new word they think makes them sound sophisticated.
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?

LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.
