What do you think about Google eliminating 95% of mosquitoes? Often, one of the main ways diseases spread in some parts of the world.

[TNW @thenextweb]

Google’s fix for mosquitoes is 64 million more mosquitoes.
The males carry a bacteria that makes wild females lay dead eggs. Trials already cut biting populations up to 95%. https://t.co/X3GFwSm0ii

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

I hope this passes I want Daylight Savings Time to be permanent.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

The Republican-led House Energy and Commerce Committee passed the Sunshine Protection Act, which would end the practice of “springing forward” and “falling back” by permanently advancing clocks by one hour.

The legislation now heads to the House floor. https://t.co/4HYM0cCgKt

The new Gemini daily briefing feature where you wake up every morning with a breakdown of everything happening in your life from all your email accounts is very impressive. Very interesting to see how Google develops this. Has already been a huge help to me tracking everything happening in my life.

[Luke Bouma @LukeBK]

[Breaking911 @Breaking911]

Russia unleashed one of its largest attacks on Kyiv since the war began, hammering the capital and nearby areas with hundreds of drones and missiles, including the Oreshnik hypersonic missile.
