A wall showing a collage of 56 assigned Pentagon reporters. They are now handing given up their accreditation as they have refused to sign up to the Pentagon’s new press policy which restricts a free press and attacks the First Amendment.
Decades of experience. And every single one now handing their press pass in.
Another step towards the authoritarian state.

"This is the kind of signature that we would see that was made by something biological … it's kind of the equivalent of seeing leftover fossils … leftovers from a meal. And maybe that meal has been excreted by a microbe. And that's what we're seeing in this sample."

For ex. one concern over solar inverters is catching on fire. So an adversary can mess with things *waves hands around vaguely* to do so but that's a concern anyway regardless lmao and there are mitigations that can avoid both issues AND you can still buy cheap shit from China.

Please do not call the cops when someone is having a mental health crisis. They escalate the crisis and put people in more danger.
In Philly, you can call 988 to get in touch with non-police mobile crisis teams.
