Glacier lake outburst at Alaska's Mendenhall Glacier causes record-breaking flooding
Residents in Juneau have been urged to evacuate

Sprzedawca uparł się, że kurier odbierze dwie paczki na jednym liście. Kurier się nie zgodził. Przez weekend w końcu doprosiłem się o dwa listy. Kurier odebrał. Dostałem zwrot środków.

A basin full of icy meltwater
perched above Juneau
has broken through its glacial barrier
and begun flooding down toward Juneau Alaska
— the latest in what have become yearly outburst floods that hit this region.

As scientists flew by helicopter to assess the situation
at what’s called Suicide Basin,
Juneau officials warned residents
to evacuate parts of the city
that have been prone to repeated flooding.
They predicted the peak f…

An Alaskan glacier is bursting. Can new barriers block the flood?
In Juneau Alaska, officials built a Hesco barrier wall to try to protect neighborhoods from floodwaters pouring out of Mendenhall Glacier.

A 7-mag. #comet with a 3° tail nobody saw coming is grazing southern skies today: "SWAN 25B" (preliminary name) was discovered by amateurs in spacecraft images and seems to be in its 0.5 au perihelion today. Whether it's undergoing an outburst or will stay bright remains TBD: here's an image from Chile while a lot of discussion can be found in the threads https://groups.io/g/comets-ml/topic/115202009 and https://groups.io/g/comets-ml/topic/115202920

AI slop and the destruction of knowledge:
We must protect and cultivate the ecosystem of human knowledge. AI models can mimic the appearance of scholarly work, but they are (by construction) unconcerned with truth—the result is a torrential outpouring of unchecked but convincing-sounding “information”. At best, such output is accidentally true, but generally citationless, divorced from human reasoning and the web of scholarship that it steals from. At worst, it is confidently wrong. Bot…

MicroTrace: A Lightweight R Tool for SNP-Based Pathogen Clustering in Outbreak Detection
MicroTrace is an open-source R tool that performs SNP-based hierarchical clustering to detect potential transmission clusters from pathogen whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data. Designed for epidemiologists, microbiologists, and genomic surveillance teams, it processes SNP distance matrices and outputs dendrograms and cluster tables with optional metadata integration. MicroTrace enables reproducible outbreak detection workflows with minimal setup.
