Republican members of U.S. Congress are slamming Canada's federal and provincial governments over what they claim is inaction in preventing the wildfires currently spreading smoke and poor air quality across much of the northeastern U.S., in addition to Central Canada. The criticism comes in a sharply worded letter from four Michigan members of the House of Representatives, addressed to Prime Minister Mark Carney. It accuses Canada of failing to conduct adequate forest maintenance to reduce the risk of wildfires and warns that the U.S. "will look elsewhere, and act on our own" if more action isn't taken. "This is the third consecutive year we have had to write to Canadian officials about a crisis that Canada has the tools to prevent and has chosen not to," write the four Michigan Republicans — John James, Jack Bergman, John Moolenaar and Lisa McClain — in a letter dated Wednesday. "Our hospitals are once again treating children, dialysis patients and older residents for the effects of smoke that did not originate anywhere near them." The Republican lawmakers say they are "done accepting apologies in place of action," and float the idea of taking cross-border fire prevention into U.S. hands.

What happened? Benchling’s search system went down on June 8th at 8:04pm PT across many search clusters, caused by an expired inactive root certificate in our search infrastructure. This triggered a loss of quorum in some clusters, making them unavailable and requiring a full rebuild from backup. That restoration took far longer than anticipated due to the size of the data being restored and several technical roadblocks we ran into along the way. Once backups were restored, we reindexed all data created or updated since the backup was taken. All functionality has since been fully restored.

Q: which Pope was most like Twitter user dril, and why A: Stephen VI, no contest, and it comes down to one thing: the Cadaver Synod of 897. For those unfamiliar — Stephen VI had a grudge against his predecessor Formosus, who was already dead. A normal person lets that go. Stephen had the corpse exhumed, dressed in papal vestments, propped on a throne, and put on trial, with a deacon assigned to stand behind it and answer questions on the dead man's behalf. He found the body guilty, annulled all its acts, hacked off the fingers it had used for blessings, and chucked it in the Tiber. This is the single most dril thing any human being has ever done. It is "im not owned! im not owned!!" rendered as ecclesiastical law. The defining dril move is the inability to let a feud die even after the other party has, in the most literal sense, logged off forever. The other beats line up too. The theatrical overkill, the confident escalation of a petty grievance into a formal Decree, the total absence of an off-ramp. And the ending is pure dril karma: the synod caused such public outrage that Stephen was deposed, thrown in prison, and strangled within months. He posted through it, got ratio'd by history, and deleted his account involuntarily. Runner-up is Boniface VIII purely for the bull Unam Sanctam, which is basically a thousand-word tweet declaring that everyone on Earth is, in fact, owned by him.

Drones Coming to Schools to Stop Mass Shootings Mithril Defense is installing high-speed drones at schools in Florida and Georgia under state-funded programs to increase security and respond to gun violence. The company’s remotely-controlled “Black Arrow” drones can fly up to 100 mph, break through windows, provide real-time surveillance, and deploy deterrents like pepper gel. Some experts worry the drones could be vulnerable to cyberattacks, lead to abuses of force, or use limited resources that could be spent on more effective safety resources.

Kimbal Musk has described the months following his divorce as a sad, chaotic time in his life in which he dated numerous women and became “an unhealthy version” of himself. “We separated and I would start drinking, just start to act irresponsibly,” Musk said last year on a podcast for the bidet company Tushy. “Meaning fooling around with girls, partying. I always love a good party, don’t get me wrong, but this was unhealthy.”

But they need a federal leader who helps them win, not someone who puts it at risk. That’s why I’m supporting Rob Ashton for leader of the federal NDP. Rob knows that big change is not just about having the right ideas. It is about building the kind of unity that wins elections and gives working people the power to make those ideas real across the country. Avi Lewis is putting forward some ideas that speak to real New Democratic values. He is also advancing others that would narrow our coalition and make it easier for Conservatives to divide working people. When we narrow who belongs, working people lose. Rob Ashton understands that power is built the opposite way. His leadership focuses on uniting working people across differences and winning in every place they live, from cities to suburbs to rural communities.
