this story is just absolute, abject nonsense. where did the nitrates come from? the farms. what did the datacenters have to do with it? somewhat increased the aquifer draw pulling the nitrates the farms let run into the groundwater into the aquifer.

The story on events in Brockwell Park is worth a read for everyone interested in community action and civic life. Seems like a good example of something that might have been better handled with participatory democracy, to find out and reflect the (very diverse) local community's views

Death to one-time text codes: Passkeys are the new hotness in MFA Wanna know a secret? Whether you're logging into your bank, health insurance, or even your email, most services today do not live by passwords alone. Now commonplace, multifactor authentication (MFA) requires users to enter a second or third proof of identity. However, not all forms of MFA are created equal, and the one-time passwords orgs send to your phone have holes so big you could drive a truck through them.โ€ฆ

The Liz Truss Show review โ€“ hapless ravings from a cupboard Britainโ€™s briefest PM kept her fans waiting before launching her latest plea for Maga attention in the form of a ham-fisted YouTube talk show

The problem Truss has in trying to market herself as a RW influencer in the US is that successful RW influencers in the US are actually pretty good at entertaining people, while Liz Truss is so boring you fall asleep before sheโ€™s even proposed her first pogrom.

Itโ€™s clear from the video this woman had just come to the park to play with her child. She said as much and was upset that there were masked men with guns in the park.

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino calls the woman an โ€œactivistโ€ and Andy Ngo says the woman was using her child as a โ€œhuman shield.โ€

The chair of the EHRC at the time was Trevor Phillips, who has now said the SC judgement was the correct interpretation of the EA.

Isnโ€™t it time for him to answer some questions about why he signed off a hugely consequential piece of secondary legislation that he apparently thought was inaccurate?

Letter to the Guardian.
The protection of badgers has a long pedigree (Report, 29 August). Arthur Gore, known as "Boofy", the eighth Earl of Arran, was a fanatical defender of them. He was also a tireless campaigner for the rights of homosexuals. In 1967 he managed to push through a law in the Lords that decriminalised homosexuality but failed to pass a bill to outlaw the cruel hunting of badgers. When asked why he had not received enough support for his badger bill, he replied: "Not many badgers in the House of Lords." Tony Lywood Keswick, Cumbria

Found when sorting an old drive. I still, very occasionally, say 'not many badgers in the House of Lords' and this is why:

Indiana isn't as big as Texas or Florida, so it rarely gets the same attention nationally. But it's worth keeping an eye on what Indiana is doing, because the GOP has long exploited the state's under-the-radar status as a proving ground for new efforts and policies.

Abolish ICE straight to The Hague (yeah, yeah, I know), but the community response to their attempted "shows of force", in multiple cities, is genuinely giving me a glimmer of hope in all this.
