Species invasions often create a "founder effect" that makes it hard to see effects of adaptation to the invaded habitat— genomic signals of a rapid post-bottleneck expansion look a lot like signals of adaptation. This study of European starlings teases those signals apart!

But hey, this is what photos are for: having memories about good time, right? I wrote more about it here:

A stunning panoramic view unfolds under a bright, clear sky, where the sun shines brilliantly, casting a warm glow over a picturesque valley. The sun's rays create a starburst effect, adding a magical touch to the scene. Below, a lush valley stretches out, filled with a patchwork of green fields, dense forests, and scattered clusters of buildings, all bathed in soft morning or late afternoon light.

In the distance, a range of majestic mountains rises, their peaks partially shrouded in a light …

Quote from Autocracy Inc from Ann Applebaum,
Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may …

A rugged, narrow trail cuts through a dense forest, its path lined with weathered rocks and patches of vibrant green moss. The towering pines and firs, their branches thick with needles, create a lush canopy overhead, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor.

I bet this was for Deque’s 100% WCAG ‘AI’ coverage, which must be getting released today to honor its March promise.

A white lower-case ‘d’ with a lower-case ‘q’ set into its bowl, overlapping and sharing it but retaining the ascender of the ‘d’ and clipping the descender of the ‘q’ to create negative space against the navy blue background.

English Alt Text:
A black-and-white overhead view of four people playing badminton on a marked court. The net divides the space, and each player holds a racket, actively engaged in the game. One player is captured mid-swing, striking the shuttlecock. Tables and chairs in the background suggest a courtyard or recreational area. The image conveys energy, movement, and social interaction within a structured play environment.

A black-and-white photograph of a spiral metal staircase viewed from above. The staircase curves downward in a clockwise direction, casting a shadow on the concrete ground below.

The architect of the London Eye wants to build a vast tidal power station in a 14-mile arc off the coast of Somerset
that could help Britain meet surging electricity demand to power artificial intelligence – and create a new race track to let cyclists skim over the Bristol Channel.
Julia Barfield, who designed the Eye and the i360 observation tower in Brighton, is part of a team that has drawn up the £11bn proposal.
It would use 125 underwater turbines to harness the power o…

Israeli tech founder Maor Shlomo,
whose vibe coding startup Base44 sold for over $80 million when it was acquired by Wix,
said on the podcast “20VC” that “it’s relatively easy to create a vibe coding tool.”
“Every feature that we put out, we know that’s going to take either a few weeks or a few months for competitor to copy,” he complained.
It's trivially easy for competitors to copy your brilliant innovation.

Both Quikscript and Shavian were essentially the results of a design competition,
sponsored--posthumously--by playwright George Bernard Shaw,
who laid out the terms in his will.
Shaw wanted someone to create an ideal phonetic alphabet for English that trumped Pitman shorthand.
British designer Ronald Kingsley Read, a finalist in the 1960s competition, designed both Quikscript and Shavian, the latter being named in Shaw's honor
