Please help Aseel and her family eat this week if you can.
(I have spoken with and am in touch with Aseel over Signal and I can vouch that the account and campaign are real and your donations go to a family in need in Gaza.)

Every Tuesday, we ask for your help to feed my family for a full week. With the sharp rise in prices, even providing food has become a daily struggle. We need $500 each week to feed my family of 6. Every dollar you give helps us get through the week. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing — it might reach someone who can help. Thank you for your continued support. @palestine@a.gup.pe #gaza 25/500$ https://chuffed.org/project/138285-help-sehwel-family-with-their-medical-t…

Whale dies after collision with small boat off New Jersey shore
A minke whale has died off the New Jersey shore after colliding with a small boat. The incident occurred Saturday in Barnegat Bay and the impact nearly tipped the boat and threw a person overboard. Video shows the whale splashing near the craft before swimming away. The whale was later found dead on a sandbar in shallow water. The Marine Mammal Stranding Center said authorities couldn't approach due to tidal conditions. A necropsy is planned for Monday.

Scientists reconfirm rare shark sightings after 50 years in PNG
In 1973, researchers scientifically described a species of shark based on a single specimen: a pregnant female caught a few years earlier by a fisherman near the mouth of the Gogol River in Astrolabe Bay, Papua New Guinea. They named this new-to-science species the sailback houndshark (Gogolia filewoodi). And then, for the next half-century, they […]

Content warning: Andor S2

Being stuck with a broken wrist so unable to really do much of the things, I have spend a lot of this month watching TV.
I'm not all that up on Star Wars, so when I watched Season One of Andor I didn't know it was about a man called Andor, I had that name confused with Endor, and so I was distracted by the lack of Ewoks.
No such distraction for season two though, now I know it's about a rebel mercenary and his adventures leading up to him being in Rogue One delivering details about how to blow up a death star.
They all live in the Empire, which is relentless and authoritarian and evil just like the real life empire taking over western civilization now. They persecute and harass poor Andor and his buddies so much that they cause the rebellion against their authority that they intend to suppress.
Great show.
Wonder if all the people arrested wrongfully for doing no real crime in the US and UK and around the west will end up fighting the empire here too?
Still wish there was a series about ewoks though.

Decoding visual experience from brain signals offers exciting possibilities for neuroscience and interpretable AI. While EEG is accessible and temporally precise, its limitations in spatial detail hinder image reconstruction. Our model bypasses direct EEG-to-image generation by aligning EEG signals with multilevel semantic captions -- ranging from object-level to abstract themes -- generated by a large language model. A transformer-based EEG encoder maps brain activity to these captions through…
