The IRS is sending mass furlough notices to employees and shuttering most of its operations, now that a government shutdown has extended beyond its initial contingency plan.

The agency posted on its website Wednesday morning that, “due to the lapse in appropriations, most IRS operations are closed.”

The IRS, which is preparing for next year’s filing season, kept all its employees on the job for the first five business days of the shutdown. Its contingency plans, however, didn’t specify what would happen if a lapse in funding extended beyond Oct. 7.

According to the agency, an “IRS-wide furlough” began Wednesday, “for everyone except already-identified excepted and exempt employees.”

It’s not clear which employees will keep working at this point. The IRS hasn’t posted an updated contingency plan yet.

Original Title: CNN’s Van Jones & two NYT reporters are among 16 'mentors' in a pro-Israel fellowship launched after Oct. 7 to help Israel 'win its information war'. Founder Jacki Karsh, who praises the IOF as 'the most moral army', claims the program is 'nonpartisan'. NYT responded by denying the bias as well.

To celebrate this milestone, we’re working on a game update for all platforms that will include several additions and updates as a THANK YOU!!

• A new, playable environment, taking the characters of Expedition 33 to a brand-new location with new enemy encounters and surprises to discover.

• Challenging, new boss battles for late-game players to overcome.

• New costumes for each member of the Expedition, giving even more customization options for players throughout their adventure.

• New text and UI game localizations into Czech, Ukrainian, Latin American Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian, bringing the total number of supported languages to 19.

• And more to come…

This isn't news, nor is it politics. But given networks' actual competition these days, tech seemed a safe home to share.

RE: Good luck, babe!

I honestly cannot believe you’ve willingly decided to go into the worst kind of job that exists: management at a dying company.

Managing sucks! It sucks even when you like the people you’re managing and it’s a low-stress position! And I’m sure I don’t have to tell you: running CBS News is not a low-stress position. You are going to get blamed by everyone above you for decisions that are made by people below you, and you are going to get blamed by people below you for the decisions that are made by people above you. You’re also going to get blamed for your own decisions, just for kicks. You have elected to take a job where the primary purpose is for you to eat shit and own the death of broadcast TV news, a thing that is going to die no matter what you do. Nice work!

This is the glass cliff to end all glass cliffs. You’re Marissa Mayer at Yahoo without the Googler street cred. You’re Nancy Dubuc at Vice without the string of hit TV shows. You’re Linda Yaccarino at Twitter without the advertiser relationships. You have been hired as a sop to a Trump administration that is actively hostile to the actual free press, and you will be made to oversee wave after wave of layoffs until you quit or get fired and the entire news division is shut down in a final spasm of cost-cutting after the next inescapable media merger.

This is a pretty brutal assessment of the state of the media ecosystem.

Obligatory fuck Nestle, but also "low emissions dairy" is a hoax - the "clean coal" of the ag industry.

• Spurred largely by pending global regulations, the race is on to develop low- and zero-carbon fuels for ships and scale up their use.
• There are “bridge fuels” that could be used during a transition period or in a limited way for the long term, such as biofuels, and then there are options that are more sustainable at scale, such as green methanol and green ammonia.
• Experts continue to debate the pros and cons of green methanol and green ammonia, which are generally seen as the best options in the medium to long term.
• A net-zero framework for shipping that would drive the adoption of alternative fuels is coming up for a vote in mid-October at a meeting of the International Maritime Organization in London.
