Capitol rioters clamor for payouts from Trump's 'anti-weaponization' fund
Many of the convicted rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, are clamoring for payouts from the nearly $1.8 billion settlement that the Trump administration has set up for people claiming to be victims of a weaponized government. Whether they'll be eligible for any money remains an open question. The political and legal backlash to the administration's move hasn't dimmed the celebratory response from Capitol rioters. Some are staking claims to the money even though the government hasn…

What SRE is not
We used to have a difficulty in our community - thankfully less prevalent now - with rootless questions of identity. Of course, it's not wrong to ask who we are, what we're here for, and what should we be doing: every profession benefits from regular reflection. But too much of

A few years back, the company made a nice list of many #pride flags to explain them. 🏳️‍🌈

LGBTQ+ Pride Flags and What They Stand For
June is #Pridemonth. This is the most colorful month of the year since the LGBTQ+ pride is celebrated.

Ambassadors of Volvo Group’s internal LGBTQ+ network called V-EAGLE tell us what they stand for.
