Join the WIRED World Fair in Miami on November 4

Published by skeptic

For more than a century, World’s Fairs have given people a first glimpse of what’s next: breakthroughs, ideas, and ways of living that would go on to reshape the everyday. WIRED will reimagine that tradition in Miami on November 4 with the WIRED World Fair. This one-day event brings the technologies, people, and cultural forces transforming our world off the page and into real life. At the Sacred Space in Miami’s Wynwood district, we’ll host conversations with luminaries from biotechnology, politics, artificial intelligence, and beyond. The Onion will be there, and a researcher whose life’s work is decoding the language of dolphins. We’ll be screening the Musk documentary, and letting you experience the same training software astronauts use to get ready for the moon and Mars. There will also be robots. We’ll be announcing even more programming as we get closer to the date. For now, you can see the full list of speakers and events below—including immersive art installations from Marina Abramović and others—and find more information at the WIRED World Fair site. Ben …

Hundreds of Election Deniers Will Be on the Ballot This November

Hundreds of Election Deniers Will Be on the Ballot This November

Published by skeptic

Polls show Rogers in a dead heat with Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed. The Wisconsin Governor Race In December 2020, as a member of Congress, Tom Tiffany signed up for a Texas lawsuit seeking to invalidate President Joe Biden’s victory. Tiffany also voted against certifying the results in Pennsylvania and Arizona on January 6, 2021, after the attack on the Capitol and has suggested he would have overturned Wisconsin’s results too. This year, Tiffany has warmly welcomed the FBI’s baseless investigation into the state’s elections. As governor, Tiffany would have the power to appoint some of the state’s top election officials on the Wisconsin Elections Commission, giving him the ability to install election deniers to oversee voting for the 2028 presidential election. Initial polls show Tiffany slightly trailing his Democrat opponent, David Crowley. The Ohio Governor Race Billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy has long questioned the 2020 electron results and has baselessly claimed that it was stolen by “big tech.” Ramaswamy has also called the January 6 attack on the Capitol an “inside job” and “entrapment.” He has …

House to leave early, punting Hegseth impeachment vote until after November elections

House to leave early, punting Hegseth impeachment vote until after November elections

Published by Sam Flores

House members will leave Washington on Wednesday night for the last time before the November midterm elections, after GOP leaders said they were canceling votes set for Thursday. The change in schedule means that the House won’t vote on Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky’s resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth until after Election Day. GOP leaders insisted their decision had nothing to do with Massie’s impeachment efforts. But they were eager to avoid a difficult vote for many of their vulnerable Republican members who have been uneasy with Hegseth’s leadership during the unpopular six-month war with Iran. Talking to reporters Wednesday, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., slammed Massie’s impeachment effort as “ridiculous” and defended Hegseth. “It’s a publicity stunt by someone who wants attention. It will immediately be tabled, of course. … We’ll probably do it when we come back, but it’s a stunt,” Johnson said (tabling would effectively kill the measure). “Secretary Hegseth has done an extraordinary job, the Department of War. We’re in the middle of international conflicts right now, and we …

Gerhard Richter Pavilion Opening in Doha, Qatar, in November

Published by Jenni Sidey

A new permanent pavilion devoted to the artist Gerhard Richter will open later this fall in Qatar, in MIA Park outside Doha’s Museum of Islamic Art. The building was designed by Richter himself and is being constructed in collaboration with Selldorf Architects, the firm led by art-world design favorite Annabelle Selldorf (whose credits include the Frick Collection, the Art Gallery of Ontario, galleries David Zwirner and Hauser & Wirth, and many more). “Doha Pavilion has been designed by Gerhard Richter as a free-standing work of art and architecture housing a distinct body of his paintings and sculpture,” according to a press release issued by the Qatar Museums group behind the project, which will open on November 20 as part of Rubaiya Qatar, a new quadrennial for contemporary art from around the world. Related Articles About his vision for the building, Richter said, “My trip to Doha in 2013 came two years into developing my Strip paintings, and the city’s architecture and history sparked an idea for a pavilion that could unite the thematic threads of …

Brussels’s controversial Kanal-Centre Pompidou opens in November

Brussels’s controversial Kanal-Centre Pompidou opens in November

Published by Jenni Sidey

This past spring, an eclectic mix of journalists donned hard hats and dusty boots to join Kasia Redzisz, the artistic director of the Kanal-Centre Pompidou in Brussels, on a tour through the institution’s colossal former Citroën garage from the 1930s ahead of its long-awaited reopening. After a crisis-ridden decade of planning and renovations and more than €250 million ($290 million), the 430,000-square-foot complex is set to open on November 28, when it will become the Belgian capital city’s only major modern and contemporary art museum.Bordering the low-income neighborhood of Molenbeek, the Art Deco structure is known for its 90-foot-high glass façade. Looking down from inside the cavernous glass showroom, with its four floors removed, the space recalls the nave-like Turbine Hall at Tate Modern in London. But Redzisz, who previously worked as a curator at Tate Modern, matter-of-factly pointed out why that comparison is inaccurate. “Turbine Hall is a destination, with an entrance; here everything is a passage, so it’s very different,” she said during the tour.The layout of Kanal is also quite different: two …

Celebrated Italian restaurant Rossoblu set to close in November

Published by Sam Flores

One of L.A.’s celebrated Italian restaurants is set to close after nearly a decade of handmade pastas, Bolognese specialties and amari in downtown’s Fashion District. Chef-owner Steve Samson and his wife and business partner, Dina Samson, debuted Rossoblu in 2017 as an anchor of the industrial mixed-use City Market South plaza to great acclaim. The Bologna-inspired restaurant, which draws on Steve’s own Italian heritage, was favorably reviewed by late Times Food critic Jonathan Gold and has appeared on the L.A. Times 101 list of best restaurants. On Friday, the Samsons announced the restaurant will close Nov. 1, but hinted at more to come for the 7,500-square-foot space. “While Rossoblu is closing, the story of this beautiful space isn’t over,” they wrote in a joint statement published to Instagram and their mailing list. “We can’t share what’s coming next quite yet, but it has an exciting and delicious future.⁠” By phone that afternoon, the Samsons cited a range of reasons for the closure, including the end of their lease coinciding with a difficult environment for independent …

Xbox Game Pass Subscribers Are Losing a Big Perk This November

Xbox Game Pass Subscribers Are Losing a Big Perk This November

Published by skeptic

Unlimited Xbox Cloud Gaming is going away. Starting in November, the service will have monthly limits based on the Xbox Game Pass subscription tier, according to a Microsoft post on Thursday. Cloud gaming hours will be capped at: 15 hours for Game Pass Ultimate 10 hours for Premium 5 hours for Essential Microsoft said it’s making these changes due to the increased cost of cloud gaming. “Moving to monthly limits allows us to keep offering the service while continuing to invest in its reliability and performance,” the company said in the post. “We understand that for some players the practical result is a higher cost.” The limited hours will impact 4% of Xbox Game Pass subscribers, Microsoft said. If you fall into that group, you’ll have the option to purchase more cloud gaming time, and it will also be available to gamers without an Xbox Game Pass subscription.

Missouri Supreme Court rules new GOP-drawn map can’t be used for November elections

Missouri Supreme Court rules new GOP-drawn map can’t be used for November elections

Published by Sam Flores

The Missouri Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the state’s redrawn congressional map cannot be used in this year’s midterm elections, dealing a blow to Republicans. The court ruled that a referendum on whether the state can use the map going forward must be included on the November ballot, meaning Missouri’s fall elections will take place under its previous district lines. The new map was designed to draw one of the two Missouri Democrats in Congress, longtime Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, out of his seat. “More than 305,000 Missourians demanded a say in who will represent them in the halls of Congress. Despite the cynical and deeply shameful attempt to silence many of our neighbors, the people fought back and won,” Cleaver said in a post on X following the ruling, adding that “democracy prevails.” The ruling comes after a protracted battle between advocacy group People Not Politicians Missouri, which sought to block the Republican redistricting effort, and the state GOP leaders who defended it. Missouri redrew its congressional map in 2025 at the behest of President …
