Border Patrol agents conducted an operation at the site of Washington state’s biggest wildfire this week, and a Washington congresswoman’s office confirmed two firefighters were arrested at the site where first responders are working to contain the blaze that’s already torched almost 9,000 acres in the Olympic National Forest.

Not sure if someone posted this already but I don't recall ever seeing this one during the bean golden age.

We were huge fans of LocalMonero's weekly blog series, "The Monero Standard" and missed it after they shut down. It was too valuable of a resource for the community to just disappear.

So we decided to continue it.

Here is the first new edition, published on our blog at Cyphergoat: https://cyphergoat.com/blog/monero-standard-1

A quick note on the name: We're not the original team, but they've kindly given us permission to continue using "The Monero Standard"

We'll be publishing a new summary every week. Let us know what you think!

I wrote about my motivations and thoughts on switching away from centralized social media and to the Fediverse with some thoughts on self-hosting.

The low standard of responsible investment practice by most asset managers is shocking and disappointing.

Asset managers shape the world we live in through the companies they invest in. Our research shows that most of the largest players in the market are failing to invest responsibly, continuing to pave the way for fossil fuel expansion, nature loss and the proliferation of controversial weapons. As middlemen in the financial sector, their irresponsible investments are being made almost entirely with other people’s money.

We set 20 basic standards that we expect asset managers to achieve, from net zero targets to local community engagement. Every standard is met by at least one asset manager, but the majority of asset managers fail to meet half of these standards.

Only a few industry-leading asset managers are demonstrating robust approaches to responsible investment. Asset owners who care about long-term outcomes - such as pension funds - should take note, while policy makers need to provide regulatory environments that ensure a safe and healthy world.

The bill foresees certain annual recruitment targets for the new voluntary scheme: rising from 20,000 in 2026 to 38,000 in 2030.

If these numbers are not achieved, the government could opt instead to reinstate conscription, subject to parliamentary approval, according to the latest draft of the bill.

Already the current bill contains some mandatory elements, with all young men required to fill an online questionnaire regarding their willingness and abilities for military service after turning 18, to gain a better overview of the potentially available personnel.
