🚨 Breaking news: 3 mule deer have been confirmed crossing California's first-ever wildlife overpass.

The deer, captured on trail camera in late May, didn't wait for the official ribbon-cutting. The $20 million wildlife overpass in Siskiyou County, designed to reduce the staggering number of deer and elk killed on Route 97, was apparently usable enough. The bridge will officially open in fall.

We reached out to the 3 mule deer for comment but have not yet received a response.

Wildlife collisions cost the US about $8 billion a year in vehicle damage, injuries, and human deaths. A well-placed crossing pays for itself in reduced accidents within a decade.

A study of 89 wildlife crossings across North America, Europe, and Australia found they reduced wildlife mortality by up to 90% in well-designed projects.

Fencing is doing half the work. A crossing without funnel fencing leading animals toward it is dramatically less effective. The California project includes 3 miles of 8-foot fencing along Route 97.

California has about 100 wildlife crossings planned over the next decade. This one is the first. The Liberty Canyon overpass over the 101 in LA (currently the largest in the world by area) is set to open in 2026.

Expect some action to ban Deepseek and other Chinese LLM’s in the U.S.

With U.S models priced as high as $5 for 1m tokens and Deep Seek at $0.43/1m tokens that seems inevitable.

friend just sent me this, it's wild how AI is changing companies:

"coworker sent a 20-page AI-generated planning doc for a huge meeting later today

i didn't want to lose my job, so i asked claude to write a 50-page required pre-reading for the meeting

not to be outdone, the coworker fed that into Claude and replied with a 1,000-page summary of the pre-reading

i finally won out with a 100,000,000 page document that broke our email system"

lesson? if you've made it this far, you're a true 10x AI-pilled vibe coder. you don't need to learn anything more. you've done it. congrats

I was talking to my sister, who has been shocked by all the insane amounts of hate I’ve been getting from my former supposed friends from when I used to be a pan-green boba-lib.

“How are you NOT upset?”

“I mean, I was just as judgmental when I was a liberal so…”

“Oh yeah good point…”

Anyhow…they can block me if like but if they don’t they’ll have to put up with me gently, respectfully putting some inconvenient stuff in their narratives.

One man in California has spent 57 years recording the sounds of natural places. Much of what he's recorded no longer exists.

His name is Bernie Krause. He started as a folk musician and an early pioneer of the Moog synthesizer. In 1968, he began carrying recording equipment into rainforests, deserts, coral reefs, African savannas, and research sites associated with scientists like Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey.

The Wild Sanctuary archive now contains more than 5,000 hours of recordings and over 15,000 identified species. Krause coined the term "biophony" to describe the collective sound of living organisms in a habitat and helped establish the field of soundscape ecology.

Through thousands of recordings, he observed that healthy ecosystems often partition acoustic space, with different species occupying different frequencies and times of day. On a spectrogram, an intact habitat can resemble a densely layered musical score.

When Krause revisited many of the places he had recorded decades earlier, he found that over half had become silent, severely degraded, or so altered by human activity that their original biophonies could no longer be heard. His archive preserves sounds from ecosystems that have been transformed or lost.

New UK job-ad data suggests the labour market for young graduates is weakening significantly. But the story is more complicated than “AI is replacing graduates”.

AI exposure appears to be part of the story — especially in some associate professional roles — but the pattern is nuanced and far from uniform.

@esaagar It might be as simple as buy when it’s cheap, don’t buy when it’s expensive. Sometimes it’s not a nefarious plan, just rational decision making

May 2026 set a new all-time record for British solar generation.

According to the latest NESO data, solar generated 2.8 TWh, beating the previous record set in a very sunny May 2025.

Solar is now regularly meeting over a quarter of Britain's midday electricity needs.

🚨 Joachim Klement, the mathematician who successfully predicted the last three World Cup winners, believes the Netherlands will be crowned champions in 2026. 🇳🇱🏆

His model factors in everything from population size and GDP to FIFA rankings and football culture and it forecasts an all-European semi-final line-up, with Portugal beating England and the Netherlands overcoming Spain in the semi-final setting up a Netherlands vs Portugal final. 👀

The prediction also includes several major surprises, including Japan eliminating Brazil in the Round of 16 and Portugal knocking out Argentina on their route to the final. 🤯
