It happened on the way to the hospital, where she was...

Legislative staff informed lawmakers this week that the communications, previously available to the public and frequently examined by journalists, no longer needed to be made publicly available, based on a District Court ruling concerning a Republican lawmaker’s communications about a bill that redrew Montana’s Public Service Commission districts. In June, state Sen. Keith Regier suc...

QR codes skyrocketed in popularity during the touch-free days of the COVID-19 pandemic, and now they're everywhere. From menus to forms and posters, who doesn't like these scannable shortcuts to information and fast, frictionless payments? Now QR codes also serve a much different purpose: as a tool for scammers. In December 2023, the Federal Trade Commission warned of a new form of phishing. Appropriately coined quishing, the scam leverages QR codes to trick people into divulging personal inform...

It's another to chronically avoid doing things until the absolute last minute. Wysa researched the psychology behind procrastination, what makes people do it, and how they can work to overcome it. According to the Association for Psychological Science, procrastination comes in two forms: habitual and situational. The latter happens when w...

On Sept. 15, dry pine needles littered the forest floor, forming a beige blanket over charred soil. Insect chatter echoed through the woods while a woodpecker pounded the trunk of a scorched Douglas fir, scattering chips of charcoal. In mid-July, when the Horse Gulch Fire burned at its most intense, firefighters cut a perimeter along the timberline's edge, just beneath a ridge's saddle. Now, a narrow lane of overturned soil, evidence of firefighting bulldozers, separated blackened earth from...
