  1. I saw the #solareclipse of August 2026 from #Drachenberg in #Berlin, with about 80 percent #coverage. If an observer, like myself, is situated in the Moon's #penumbra rather than its #umbra, they see a #partial solar eclipse. L. A. Aguilar et al. (2025) showed that many of the #birds studied responded to the solar eclipse with #dawnlike #singing.

  3. 🚀 Oh, delightful! Oil companies are swimming in cash like Scrooge McDuck while the world burns 🌍🔥. Meanwhile, NPR's riveting #coverage buries the lede under a mountain of menu options and keyboard shortcuts. 🎉💰

  4. 🚀🌌 Scientists find an atmosphere on a planet so Earth-like, it's practically Earth's twin... if Earth's twin lived a gazillion light-years away and didn't care about broadcasting rights. 🎉🥳 Meanwhile, the #BBC wonders if it should cover this or focus on football in 2026. ⚽📰

  5. github.com/fulcrumgenomics/rik "Spiritual successor to picard for sequencing qc "

    "mosdepth is well known for being the fastest WGS coverage tool... until now. With both tools configured as closely to each other as possible, Riker is faster at every coverage and every thread count we measured — by 1.2–1.5×, with the biggest multipliers at low coverage."

  6. Found a clever little Rust tool for spotting risky code 👀

  7. As both a #MedicalEditor and a person who has to deal with the US #healthcare system, I want to read this book by Miranda Yaver, an assistant professor of health policy and management at the University of Pittsburgh.

  8. CW: CANNABIS TALK

    I have a medical prescription, although I have used Cannabis recreationally also, it's available in the stores.
    As a military veteran, with several conditions attributed to my 33 years of service, I am provided with cannabis products FREE.
    (it's not all dry cannabis, it includes lotions, pills and capsules, CBD, CBN, and THC

    By the time I jumped all the hoops, about a year before I was able to get a prescription, the government of Canada had reduced the amount they pay for veterans medications.
    That left me with 60% of my prescription, unless I can afford to pay out of pocket.
    But, unlike Recreational Weed sales ,the medical amount seems locked in like all insurance rackets. If they pay $10, that's what they charge, and they never go lower, or they will have to admit they overcharged.
    The veterans suffer, some with PTSD, Anxiety, Insomnia, etc, and have to make due with less?
    Seems like it took forever to be recognized.
    I had retired 20 years before I knew they paid for my disabilities? And they only pay from the day you apply. They didn't think enough of my hearing was gone, but I got $20 for Tinnitus, the never-ending ringing in the ear. Cannabis helps. I can get beer cheaper. I'll never fully know how good I can improve, if the improvements made so far are hindered by political austerity.

    It's also reflective of the recruiting problems. I suppose when you see how long time dedicated solders, sailors and air personnel are treated AFTER you might have less willingness to sign on.

    I've had to fight for each at a great cost. To lose any ground, is depressing.
