Life has not always been easy for Pearl, the world’s oldest living chicken.

Good electoral reforms. But it's VERY disappointing that Labour clings to first-past-the-post. Not only does FPTP make no sense when there are more than 2 parties, but, most importantly, change to PR could be the only way to prevent a far-right majority in 2029. Wake up!

16 year olds to be given right to vote through seismic government election reforms
Sixteen year olds will be given the right to vote in all UK elections as part of seismic changes to modernise UK democracy

Maybe I'm doing it wrong or missing the obvious, but am I the only one who thinks the way to read a fediverse timeline is in proper chronological time order (oldest to newest) like I can easily do in my email app?
Some apps have a context feature or implement threading, but by and large reading or browsing a timeline on the fediverse from newest to oldest seems to be the norm. I find this, at best, unsatisfying.

Global forests store vast carbon wealth but credit systems undervalue their true potential, study finds
When we walk into a forest, we often think less about the shade or the silence and more about the invisible work trees do—pulling carbon dioxide out of the air and storing it in their trunks, roots and soils. Forests are our oldest, most reliable carbon banks. Yet, when we dove into the data, we realized something unsettling: The financial systems designed to reward forests for this service often undervalue them.

From Transthoracic to Transesophageal: Cross-Modality Generation using LoRA Diffusion
Deep diffusion models excel at realistic image synthesis but demand large training sets-an obstacle in data-scarce domains like transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). While synthetic augmentation has boosted performance in transthoracic echo (TTE), TEE remains critically underrepresented, limiting the reach of deep learning in this high-impact modality. We address this gap by adapting a TTE-trained, mask-conditioned diffusion backbone to TEE with only a limited number of new cases and adapte…
