Australia is failing to meet its environment targets, argues ecologist
Australia is one of 17 “megadiverse” countries that account for 70% of Earth’s biodiversity. However, Australia is unique in having the highest mammalian extinction rate in the world. That makes conservation on the island continent, where most of the wildlife is found nowhere else on Earth, all the more urgent. Conservation and environmental scientists have […]

Official Israeli Persian account pushing a conspiracy theory that civilian casualties in Iran are being faked: straight from the Gaza playbook.

A screenshot of the “IsraelPersian” Twitter account posting “If they call the Gaza filmmaking industry 'Pallywood,' what do they call this? With an image attached to it with a Lebanese survivor of an Israeli attack shown talking to someone who is presumably a journalist or filmmaker.

Sadly couldn't join myself (wife wasn't feeling good and wanted me to stay home and help parent while she napped) but my SAR team participated in a great inter-agency training this past weekend.
It's always nice to practice alongside volunteers from other teams that we work with on real incidents and get to know each other without the pressure of a real emergency.
One note: I half feel like there should be a CW on this post for mentioning law enforcement in a positiv…

Boxes filled with packing peanuts were like mimics for cats.

#CarlHeastie continues to be awful, but NYers maybe want to give his office a call to tell him to stop blocking the Stop Super Speeders bill. His office # is 518-455-3791, I just called and someone answered right away.
#StopSuperSpeeders

Here’s what you say: I am a New Yorker, and I want Speaker Heastie to include the Governor’s proposal for the Stop Super Speeders bill in this budget.   Speaker Heastie is feeling the pressure. New Yorkers are calling his office nonstop. Members of Families for Safe Streets are following him around Albany. And this morning, The New York Times published a massive story on our fight to Stop Super Speeders and the rumor that Heastie’s holding up the bill. Before you click away to read it…
"It's all Carl," one of the sources said. Another source added, "Assembly staff aren't always huge street safety champions. They're worried about doing a policy like this based on camera tickets, not moving violations. But 16 tickets is a really high threshold." Indeed, data from the New York City Department of Transportation shows that drivers who get 16 or more speeding tickets per year are several times as likely to be involved in a serious crash. There are too many examples in the recent…
A reporter reminded Heastie that last year, his concern with the bill was about "due process." "Having a concern doesn't mean you don't support things," Heastie replied. "I don't support people speeding, but we really haven't talked about it too much." But one of our sources said that the idea that the Super Speeders bill hasn't been discussed isn't true: "Senior staff from all three parties in the budget have negotiated this item at length."

HOW IT STARTED A recent internal Microsoft memo has made waves across the business and tech world. It made it pretty clear that using AI is no longer optional for employees. In other words, if you're not working with AI, you're falling behind. This wasn't just a suggestion buried in corporate speak. It was a clear call to action from one of the world's biggest and most influential technology companies. The memo outlined how tools like GitHub Copilot are now embedded into daily workflows and e…
