Huh, honestly I'm not sure how to feel about all of this. Scott doesn't seem to be an awful person, but let's be real: his political views don't combine very well with a lot of the FNAF community, to put it simply. One thing that I am willing to stand by is that doxing him was too far.
By the way, it is a long time I don't hear news about him. Heard that FNAF as a franchise has a new management. Wonder what he is currently doing.

You're right. Sorry.
By the way, to avoid going off topic:
"Each year, the Climate Change Committee – the UK’s independent advisory body tasked with monitoring the country’s movement toward its legally binding climate goals – gives a report on the government’s progress over the last year.
The Climate Change Committee’s new 2025 progress report is a mix of good and bad news about whether the UK is on track to meet its greenhouse gas emissions targets."
While not everything is not sunshine and rainbows, that doesn't mean that progress is inexistent. Recognizing the current achievements together with the goals that we have yet to reach is important to fix this issue.

A fungal killer met its match in a new rapid test
"Scientists at the University of Exeter have developed a prototype lateral flow test for mucormycosis, better known as black fungus disease.
It’s caused by inhaling spores of mucorales fungi, which are harmless to most people but can prove lethal in those with weak immune systems or poorly-managed diabetes."
More accessibility options for medicines!

Positive medical news are always welcome. Also good to see that specific disease potentially becoming more easier and cheaper to diagnose, especially with the article highlighting how it particularly affects impoverished areas.
Attenborough’s echidna rediscovered by combining Indigenous knowledge with camera-trapping
"In the Terpera language of Yongsu Sapari and Yongsu Dosoyo, Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna is called Payangko, and our camera-trap images demonstrate the potential importance of Indigenous and local knowledge in biodiversity research. Our success in capturing the first photographic evidence of the species was built on the Indigenous and local knowledge of communities in the Cyclops, which informed us on echidna behaviour and habitat, where to place camera-traps, how to search for echidna signs and, fundamentally, gave us confidence the species was still extant. Indigenous and local knowledge in the Cyclops is part of a broader knowledge system and local cosmology that informs issues such as land stewardship, sustainable hunting practices, and resource management. The community of Yongsu Sapari, for example, has for centuries maintained no-hunting and no-logging areas that support sustainable forest management. This underscores the need for Indigenous and local knowledge to be recognised not as an ancillary resource but as a fundamental and complex backdrop to developing a conservation strategy for Z. attenboroughi and the Cyclops Mountains."
More animals returning, not to mention the benefits of using indigenous methods for conservation.
I think they may be the other bigger heroes for environmentalism.

Also reading the article, it also mentions that other serious crimes like shooting, aggravated assault, rape, and robbery have decresed (with break-in being the exception), which is also an encouraging sign
I hope Jamaica can further reduce crime, especially in the hotspots the article mentioned. Jamaica's progress also shows to regional countries that they can deal with the problem of high homicide and other crimes in a more sustainable manner without resorting to El Salvador's strategy.

Over 5,000 confirmed sightings were made by mariners and others in the state of New South Wales so far, according to the Organization for the Rescue and Research of Cetaceans (ORRCA) after holding the 26th annual whale census. And even then, since the migratory period will continue until August, the count may increase.
We can't thank Star Trek IV enough for being vital in keeping the whales alive.

The Heiltsuk Nation in British Columbia, Canada, adopted a new constitution that enshrines both the power of both elected members and hereditary chiefs and hands control of justice, child welfare and land management back to the community.
I've noticed that many indigenous communities around the world are slowly but surely getting their due in certain things, which is great to see.

Since Indonesia, Belgium and France have expressed interest, this has real potential.

According to researchers at Boston College, US, almost 1,000 employees in the UK are to switch permanently to a four-day week following another successful trial. In fact, 62% of participants reported a reduction in how often they experienced burnout, while 41% saw an improvement in their mental health, and 45% said they felt more satisfied with life. Those findings were convincing enough for 12 of 17 firms to make the change to a four day week.
Four day work weeks should surely be a thing in the coming future.
