What a horrible situation. I just sent RAPS a donation to help them deal with this - if you're financially able to, please send a few bucks their way. I adopted my current cat from RAPS, they are a great no-kill shelter and they need all the help they can get.

Wow, this is an awesome move! We are honestly so lucky that Valve hasn't enshittified like so many other gaming companies out there.

This makes me sick to my stomach. How can this be real? How could they possibly want to give coaches this kind of immunity? How can a Facebook page like this exist out in the open?

You should send this to the police without the names redacted, if you haven't already. These sickos clearly intend to cause harm, and they're admitting it out in the open.

This is good news considering Russia's increasing hostility, but it's surprising that they don't even plan on starting construction until 2030. How does it take us so long to even get started on a defense project like this?

Damn, sad to hear. But, at least she'll live on through the lasting impact of her work on Star Trek. People will still be appreciating her art for (hopefully) many more decades to come!

Does this mean it's not showing in theaters on release, only on Paramount+? That's a strange decision. I assume they're hoping new people will sign up for Paramount+ to see it, but showing it in theaters could get a lot of new people interested in star trek who then might be motivated to sign up and check out the shows.

Also I was looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. Oh well.

Why? This sounds like a nice upgrade:

The truck comes equipped with air suspension, allowing its height to be adjusted to four different levels. It’s all-wheel drive, unlike its predecessors, and being electric, there is more space for storage.

And the article says it has a fallback diesel engine if the battery runs low:

According to the city, it also has an onboard diesel engine that will automatically engage when the battery drops below 20 per cent during an extended firefighting response, ensuring no breaks in service.

Damn, it is actually scary that they managed to pull this off. The backdoor came from the second-largest contributor to xz too, not some random drive-by.
