WIRED

"You're receiving this because you're exactly the type of person we're building this for," the caption reads, accompanied by a code for an invite to a "members only community." The link leads to a login for Goose, a dating and friendship app for gay men with the slogan "for the boys," which allows users to "meet guys through the life you already have," according to its website. Neither does @danielmmulugeta, the cute dark-haired influencer who shared the above caption, with the exact same verbiage, on Close Friends' Stories.

An Explosion Knocked Out Anduril's Rocket Motor Test Site in Mississippi

WIRED

The incident could disrupt a key part of the defense company's rocket motor business, which designs and tests prototype motors for military customers. A rocket motor exploded during a test at an Anduril facility in Mississippi last Friday, marking another setback in the startup's hopes of becoming a major supplier of missile propulsion systems for the defense industry. Anduril publicly confirmed the incident after an inquiry from WIRED. No one was injured in the blast, which damaged Anduril's testing stand, the company's chief operating officer Matt Grimm said in a social media post on Tuesday hours after WIRED contacted the company about the incident. Three people familiar with Anduril's operations, who were granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation, tell WIRED that they can't recall another time when a similar test resulted in an explosion in the past few years, and they were unaware of what may have caused last week's mishap.
