Researchers have discovered that beneficial soil bacteria give plants an unexpected survival advantage in salty soils. Instead of helping plants keep salt out, the microbes stimulate the production of lignin, a natural compound that strengthens roots and makes plants more resilient. Greenhouse and field tests showed healthier plants and higher yields in salty conditions. The findings could lead to bio-based treatments that help farmers grow crops on land once considered too salty for agriculture.

Matt Mullenweg: Fundamentally, Om was a lover of humanity. He became a fast “regular” everywhere he went. He wouldn’t just buy coffee, he would also learn the name and story of every barista, the dogs and people in South Park. His deep curiosity and respect weren’t just ...

Fuchsia I think this is still my favourite flower. If you’re ever in Kerry at this time of the year you can drive down country lanes where the hedgerows appear to consist of little else. Quote of the Day ”If … Continue reading →

Dublin closed out a thrilling All-Ireland football quarterfinal weekend with a massive and penalty-aided comeback to beat Galway Sunday afternoon in Croke Park, 1-25 to 1-21. Galway was up by six points with just 15 minutes left on the clock. But the game turned Dublin’s wa...

I’m sitting on a rock, in the middle of a forest. On my right, not even 30cm away from me, a dog panting like crazy, because even though it’s almost 8pm, it’s still way too warm for his liking. To be fair, anything above freezing probably fits that description. Behind me, th...

I recently attended a talk, by an engineer at a large software company, on the topic of unreviewable PRs. The problem? When agents raise PRs with thousands of lines of LLM-written adds/deletes/edits, people can’t make sense of them. The solution? Throw more agents at the problem: reviewer agents that scan what coding agents have produced, … Continue reading “Doctor, it hurts when agents create unreviewable PRs.” “Don’t do that.”

Asturias, June 2026.

BROOKLYN — Boots Ennis survived the toughest round of his career, then KO’d game but overmatched champ Xander Zayas in a beautifully brutal Saturday night title fight at Barclays Center.

When Ennis put Zayas on the canvas for the third time of the bout, Zayas's corner decided to save him from himself and threw in the towel with 1:12 left in the seventh round. With the win, Ennis took Zayas's WBO and WBA super welterweight belts and remained undefeated at 36-0. The Philly fighter also greatly advanced his pursuit of imaginary but highly coveted titles like “the face of boxing” and “pound-for-pound champ.”

Why email newsletters made sense.
