Thank god we can find and intercept lost hikers as they mistakenly run away from rescue in dense forest!
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks. By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time. Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

Are women not allowed to say “we don’t like being called whores”
The response to Shane Gillis's joke is why we lose elections, by the way.

Hello America! This week, [spins wheel] TOFU is contaminated with [spins wheel] INK!
Over 10,000 cases of tofu have been recalled due to possible contamination with ink.

The Grand Hotel on Mackinac is the closest I've been to a plantation, with a bunch of Black workers shipped in from the Caribbean tending to almost entirely white guests, and some discomfort for non-white culture (such as wearing a formal sari to dinner). So...
Mackinac Island represents so much of what makes Michigan special. Our history, traditions, and way of life. Communism doesn’t belong anywhere near it. 🇺🇸

FUN FACT: Mitch McConnell has been on paid medical leave for 51 days now. That's over 7 weeks. This is a week longer than the 6 weeks of maternity leave that women in the US are not guaranteed after giving birth.

this is a good example of how population health cannot be secured individually health cannot be a personal responsibility when the conditions for health do not exist when you lack safe food, clean air, or clean water, individual choices cannot save you
You try to eat right and make healthy choices and now you’re rewarded with a potential parasitic infection that is insane.

The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.

Dear writers, we need your imagination, your narrative creativity and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…
