'Today, as part of that long term effort to secure the Python ecosystem, we are announcing that every account that maintains any project or organization on PyPI will be required to enable 2FA on their account by the end of 2023.
'Between now and the end of the year, PyPI will begin gating access to certain site functionality based on 2FA usage. In addition, we may begin selecting certain users or projects for early enforcement'.
You beauty.

Hey, law-stodon & therapsids, I have a question I may need a lawyer to answer, but I don't know what kind or how to find them. I am okay with paying money for the answer, if only I could figure out whom to offer it to.
The question is this: I am a therapist (LMHC) in Massachusetts. My nice malpractice insurance company offers a package deal where they throw in general liability coverage too. This was a splendid idea when I had a physical office and was exposed to the risk of - canonical example - somebody slipping and falling on the front step and suing me over it. But now I am wholly practicing by telehealth. I don't have a front step to slip and fall on. Do I even *have* any general liability to cover any more??? (The GL policy doesn't cover Bad Internet Things like data compromise - they have a different add-on policy for "Cyber" coverage.)
The GL coverage triples my bill, so I'd rather not.

Super cool article from @arstechnica! Among scientific advancements, artificial womb development is among the just exciting to me, particularly when the apparatus is amenable to instrumentation and measurement of the developing embryo.

> "An unmated male Barn Swallow may kill the nestlings of a nesting pair. His actions often succeed in breaking up the pair and afford him the opportunity to mate with the female."
uh, yeah... "cool"
They grow up so fast! All four are still looking healthy: eyes opened and alert. And they're so big! Can't wait to see these babies fly

Saturn, when viewed in the near-infrared methane absorption band, appears blue. You're able to peer through the upper hazes into the clouds below and the bands and belts start to take shape. It's still false color, but almost looks like a whole new planet.

I don't know how much more adorableness I can take from this set of moose twins. Here they are kissing each other as captured by photographer Lacee Johnson.
