The Jan. 7 filings come as the Miccosukee Tribe presses ahead with its legal challenge amid President Donald Trump’s recent veto of legislation expanding the tribe’s control over Everglades lands.
The filings, submitted by Friends of the Everglades…

Caught a bug over the holidays so I’m mostly resting, feeling sorry for myself, and taking the time to at least carry out some mindless housekeeping tasks (updating dependencies, etc.) on some of my Node modules.

I just finished Guild Wars: Prophecies. It took me 19.5 years.
I created my first character way back when the game was new, but I never finished the campaign. The upcoming Reforged update got me interested again. Together with a friend and 3 very friendly strangers we played through the remaining 3 missions.

SpaceX filed a request with the FCC on Friday seeking approval to put a constellation of 1 million data centersatellites into orbit.
While the FCC is unlikely to approve a network that expansive, SpaceX’s strategy has been to request approval for unrealistically large numbers of satellites as a starting point for negotiations.

who had fallen 500 feet while hiking near Devil’s Backbone,
a sharp ridge flanked by steep drops that leads to the summit,
the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.
