A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

The Atlantic has released the Signal messages.

My company's client data includes financial info and personal information.

They're VERY strict about protecting that data, and train all new employees on security.

If I made the mistake Hegseth made, I would be fired.

Paris residents vote in favour of making 500 more streets pedestrian
Parisians voted in a referendum on Sunday to pedestrianise a further 500 of the city's streets, giving fresh momentum to efforts by the French capital's left-leaning town hall to curb car usage and improve air quality.

Americans prefer to believe that homelessness and employment are mutually exclusive. For @washingtonpost.com, I reviewed @brian-goldstone.bsky.social’s paradigm-shifting book THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US, with a little detour into Sarah Jones’s DISPOSABLE. Gift link: wapo.st/4irDbBx
Review | Who gets housing, and who is ‘disposable’?
Brian Goldstone’s “There Is No Place for Us” and Sarah Jones’s “Disposable” reckon with how American society has drawn lines that assume certain people are undeserving of security

The Ardagh Chalice • Limerick

In September 1868, a man was digging potatoes alongside the bank of an old ringfort, close to the village of Ardagh. As he did so, he uncovered one of the greatest treasures of Ireland: The Ardagh Chalice.

#SpéirGhorm #Ireland
The Ardagh Chalice a two handled cup of polished silver, decorated with gold filigree that features stylised birds and beasts; with delicate interlace in filigree and other techniques and colourful studs of red, blue and yellow glass A closer view of the decoration on the Ardagh Chalice.

Been visiting the Spring Hill playground for about 11 years - it’s just been redeveloped and was looking fab yesterday in the early morning. Word had spread by this today and it was jam packed with kids and parents enjoying the new amenities. Well done DLR! @marthafanning.bsky.social
