It’s tough shopping for organic bedding. If

you don’t know your way around the certification lingo, you might buy something that has just organic materials but doesn't use an organic process or chemicals to make the bedding you end up sleeping on. One

of our favorite brands that checks all the boxes is Naturepedic, which makes some of our favorite organic mattresses and organic sheets. Natu

repedic has certifications around the block for its products, from the Global Organic Textile Standard (better known as GOTS) and Oeko Text Standard 100 to Greenguard Gold and Made Safe. You

can’t go wrong with Naturepedic’s bedding if you want something high-quality and organic, and we’ve got Naturepedic promo codes and discounts to make it a steal (literally, you’ll steal some pillows). Naturepedic’

s Cyber Week Sale is here, boasting tons of deals on some of our favorite bedding and organic mattresses. During the sal

e, you’ll get 20% off the best organic mattresses and bedding. Plus, up to $575

worth of free gifts when you order over $699 (which is easy to do if you’re investing in a new mattress). Be sure to check t

Since 2014, Womanizer has been satisfying people with vulvas all over the world.

Thanks to its revolutionary Pleasure Air Technology that mimics the feeling of oral sex, not only has Womanizer discovered a way to stimulate the 10,000+ nerve endings in the clitoris in a way that hadn’t been done by a sex toy before—yes, they were the first—but the brand can even boast a 100% orgasm rate among users. As a c

ompany that puts sexual pleasure front and center, Womanizer has continued to add to their very impressive lineup of orgasm-inducing toys. They’v

e even branched out by creating products like the Womanizer Duo and Womanizer Duo 2, both of which stimulate the clitoris and G-spot simultaneously. (Blended

orgasm, anyone?) As recen

tly as March 2025, Womanizer launched their latest toy, Womanizer Enhance, the first toy of its kind because it allows the user to choose between the Pleasure Air Technology or traditional vibrations. I was fo

rtunate enough to review the Enhance for WIRED, giving it a 7/10 because of its ability to stand by its word and deliver me one heck of an orgasm. But beca

use the Enhance is just one of dozens of Womanizer products that have hit the market in the last 11 years, I’m the first to admit that it can be difficult to choose which one is best for you. That’s whe

re Womanizer coupons come into play—because no one should have to decide on just one of their fantastic sex toys. Cyber week has

sure to nab a Groupon promo code for seriously reduced prices on activities and services. Some

of the most popular include: 80% off Swirl Wine shop bundles, 50% off arcade game passes at Bowlero, and 70% off spa services or botox, massages, and wellness packages. Grou

George Foote still has vivid memories of the day operatives from Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency arrived at the headquarters of the United States Institute of Peace. Th

e outside general counsel for USIP, he’s been part of the effort to keep the US government from seizing control of the organization. When

DOGE operatives arrived at the USIP offices in the spring they came in like a “strike team,” Foote told the audience at WIRED’s Big Interview event on Thursday in San Francisco. The DOGE t

eam, Foote said, left behind a “half-pound of weed”—more probably, a fellow panelist noted, a half-ounce—and ultimately seemed to have “no idea what to do with the place.” It was, Foote said, in

dicative of a lot of the work of DOGE, which “arrived as the brass knuckles on an authoritarian fist.” He added that he wasn’t su

re what Musk wanted to do with DOGE, “but he took it to a destructive level.” The Trump administration’s inter

est in the independent agency dates back to a February 19 executive order declaring the agency “unnecessary” and calling for it to be eliminated. In March, the administration fired the

10 voting board members of the USIP, and according to court filings, tried to enter the headquarters but were turned away. In court documents, lawyers for the ag

ency detailed a series of attempts by DOGE to enter the $500 million building before its operatives eventually succeeded. Ultimately, a judge ruled that DOGE an

d the US government didn’t have the right to take control of USIP and its headquarters. Still, this week Trump’s name was instal

To activist and organizer David Hogg, the future of the Democratic Party is pretty clear: Establishment candidates and leaders are “going to get the message or they’re going to get voted out.” Speaki

ng to WIRED senior politics editor Leah Feiger at The Big Interview event in San Francisco on Thursday, Hogg said that he doesn’t “think the Chuck Schumers of the world understand” how dire things could be for middle-of-the-road, corporate-backed Democrats when 2026 and 2028 roll around. “They think

that there's going to be some kind of democratic Tea Party, and it's going to be a bunch of progressive lefties that are younger and super pissed off, and we’ll vote all these people out, but I don’t actually think that’s the whole picture.” Hogg said. Boomers, Ho

gg said, ar

e likely the group most out of touch with their generation in Washington, DC. “You know why I say th

at?” Hogg said. “It's because t

he people t

hat are marching by the millions right now in the No Kings Day protests are not young people. They are people of Chuck Sch

umer's generation that are extremely pissed off with him.” Hogg’s Schumer slams weren’t t

he only anti-boomer jabs he threw during his talk, likening the current makeup of Congress to the “end of the Soviet Union” when he said “leaders were dying over and over because they were so old,” and complaining about the establishment leadership in the Democratic National Committee, where Hogg was vice chair until a recent shake-up. While Hogg did concede that “there are ple

Alex Komoroske has always been at odds with Big Tech’s darker side. Th

ough he cut his product-management teeth at Google and Stripe, he was never comfortable with the industry’s increasing prioritization of profits over people. Once

during his time at Google, he extolled the societal benefits of a project only to be met with, “Oh Alex, you'd be a VP by now if you just stopped thinking through the implications of your actions.” Since th

at 2010s episode, the revenues and valuations in tech have skyrocketed, as has the blithe disregard for users. “It’s di

sgusting to see the industry as it currently is,” Komoroske says. Now, he’s doin

g something about it. Today, Komoroske

and a loose group of concerned technologists are releasing The Resonant Computing Manifesto, an idealistic set of principles that attempts to recenter Silicon Valley around the values that have been lost in the scramble to hyperscale and maximize shareholder value. Komoroske and hi

s coauthors are inviting anyone who, um, resonates with this jeremiad to sign it and proselytize those values in the products they create. Accompanying the

manifesto is a shared doc of “the theses of resonant computing” where the community itself can provide input on shared principles. (Think: Martin Luthe

Meta has made a big move to hire two prominent designers away from rival tech giant Apple, likely putting them to work on designing Meta’s next generation of AI hardware and the software that runs on it. Al

an Dye, formerly Apple’s vice president of Human Interface Design, will join Meta to head up a new design studio within Meta’s Reality Labs. Billy

Sorrentino, a senior director on Apple’s design team (and former WIRED creative director) will also join Meta’s Reality Labs. In a post

on the Meta platform Threads, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the two would lead the new studio and “bring together design, fashion, and technology to define the next generation of our products and experiences.” In his own Ins

tagram post, Sorrentino confirmed the news. (In response t

o a request for comment from WIRED, a Meta rep pointed toward the Threads posts by Zuckerberg and Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth.) Dye has long b

een a prominent figure in Apple’s design team, leading big pushes like watchOS, the Apple Vision Pro, and the somewhat controversial Liquid Glass redesign of iOS 26, which designers called beautiful but “hard to read.” His switch to Meta t

elegraphs a hunger from the Zuckerberg-run company to re-create Apple’s dominance in interaction design, even if it has also caused some people to joke about what the Liquid Glass guy will do to Meta’s design interface. Anshel Sag, a tech analy

st at Moor Insights & Strategy, says that above anything else, the move telegraphs a move by Meta to fix its often stodgy and unappealing user interface across its platforms. “Meta has always been a

software nightmare,” Sag says. “There’s a lot of inconsiste

The global economy is about to undergo a major shift—and it’s going to be centered around cryptocurrency, according to Jeremy Allaire, cofounder and CEO of Circle, a software company that built one of the world’s top stablecoins. To fac

ilitate this transition, Circle is creating what Allaire calls an “economic OS for the internet.” “Basically

, there are new operating system paradigms that emerge all the time. The web is o

ne, mobile is one, cloud is another, AI is another OS paradigm,” Allaire told WIRED’s editor at large, Steven Levy, onstage at the Big Interview event in San Francisco on Thursday. “And these block

chain networks are economic OS paradigms, at least what we're doing.” Circle is best known

for USDC, the second-largest stablecoin by market capitalization, which is currently worth around $78 billion. Unlike most cryptocu

rrencies, including bitcoin, stablecoins are designed to have limited price fluctuations. USDC is backed by th

e US dollar, meaning if you own one USDC, you can exchange it for $1. Allaire touted USDC

and stablecoins broadly as a better, faster way to transfer money across borders, and an attractive option for people who live in countries with less stable currencies than the US dollar. But according to All

aire, stablecoins are just the beginning. The next evolution i

“The Artemis III mission and those beyond should be canceled.” In r

ecent months, it has begun dawning on US lawmakers that, absent significant intervention, China will land humans on the Moon before the United States can return there with the Artemis Program. So f

ar, legislators have yet to take meaningful action on this—a $10 billion infusion into NASA’s budget this summer essentially provided zero funding for efforts needed to land humans on the Moon this decade. But now

a subcommittee of the House Committee on Space, Science, and Technology has begun reviewing the space agency’s policy, expressing concerns about Chinese competition in civil spaceflight. During a h

earing on Thursday in Washington, DC, the subcommittee members asked a panel of experts how NASA could maintain its global leadership in space over China in general, and more specifically, how to improve the Artemis Program to reach the Moon more quickly. The most s

tringent criticism of the Artemis Program was offered by former NASA Administrator Mike Griffin. He has lon

g been a critic of NASA’s approach toward establishing what the space agency views as a “sustainable” path back to the Moon, which relies on reusable lunar landers that are refueled in space. Griffin reiterat

ed that criticism on Thursday, without naming SpaceX or Blue Origin, and their Starship and Blue Moon Mk 2 landers. “The bottom line

is that an architecture which requires a high number of refueling flights in low-Earth orbit, no one really knows how many, uses a technology that has not yet ever been demonstrated in space, is very unlikely to work—unlikely to the point where I will say it cannot work,” Griffin said. As they asked question

s, some House members noted that China has done a better job of establishing long-term plans for space exploration and then sticking to them. NASA, by contrast, has

Defendants were convicted of similar crimes a decade ago.

How were they cleared again?

Two sibling contractors convicted a decade ago for hacking into US State Department systems have once again been charged, this time for a comically hamfisted attempt to steal and destroy government records just minutes after being fired from their contractor jobs.

The Department of Justice on Thursday said that Muneeb Akhter and Sohaib Akhter, both 34, of Alexandria, Virginia, deleted databases and documents maintained and belonging to three government agencies.

The brothers were federal contractors working for an undisclosed company in Washington, DC, that provides software and services to 45 US agencies.

Prosecutors said the men coordinated the crimes and began carrying them out just minutes after being fired.

On February 18 at roughly 4:55 pm, the men were fired from the company, according to an indictment unsealed on Thursday.

Five minutes later, they allegedly began trying to access their employer’s system and access federal government databases. By

then, access to one of the brothers’ accounts had already been terminated. The

other brother, however, allegedly accessed a government agency’s database stored on the employer’s server and issued commands to prevent other users from connecting or making changes to the database. Then, pr
