Threat actors should be named after real actors. Yeah sorry you got hacked by Leonardo Dicaprio.

They're a government-aligned group in Vietnam.

@mcnado Some rural areas made local volunteer emergency ambulances to speed up delivery to hospitals! But, when the closest hospital ends up being 2+ hours away, yeah, town'll need a helipad.
A gentle suggestion for photo editors, whenever possible use a picture of literally anything but Trump on articles about his stupid rantings. Is he threatening Panama? Show the canal. Is he bitching about Canada? Picture of maple syrup. Anything but that face makes the articles shareable.

Iin the early 20th century, The Delta was America’s raw edge—a place where history and economy, race and labor, collided with a ferocity that shaped the American story. To those who labored in the humid summers of that region, the fields seemed endless, stretching flat and wide like a white and green ocean under the sun.

16 months ago, these young people sued the state of Montana and won. A judge ruled that the state’s greenhouse gas emissions are “a substantial factor in causing climate impacts to Montana’s environment, and harm and injury to the youth plaintiffs.” The judge rolled back two Montana laws that prevent the state from considering climate impacts when deciding whether to approve permits for energy and mining projects.

The state of Montana appealed the decision.

But today the Montana Supreme Court upheld the judge's ruling! It affirmed that the youth plaintiffs have a “fundamental constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment”. And it said:

"Plaintiffs showed at trial—without dispute—that climate change is harming Montana’s environmental life support system now and with increasing severity for the foreseeable future."

The battle is far from done. It will probably go to the Supreme Court, packed with judges appointed by Trump. But this is a sign: as the climate crisis worsens, more and more of us will fight to make governments treat it as the calamity that it is.

Think of the world these kids will face.

@josh Ok, I read the article. Supposedly Brian Thompson grew up with middle-class parents in Iowa and somehow made it up to CEO. A "rags to riches" tale that Americans *should* love. Except for all the moral compromises Thompson must have made to be the head of a company who has, through claim denial and high cost, killed people who are paying for their service.
This is honestly a lazy opinion article that could have been a 140 character cold-take tweet.
Say it with me now: "this strike has inconvenienced me and I'm upset at the selfish management that will not meet their workers' demands"

If I could help people understand two things about being disabled - it would be:

We try everything. All our spoons go towards trying to get better/survive/adapt. Telling us to “try harder” is cruel.

It’s not fun asking for help. Most of us go to great lengths to avoid asking and retain as much independence and autonomy as we can.

If the “help” comes with strings & gaslighting … it’s not helpful.
