  • Iranian star Parastoo Ahmadi reportedly sentenced to 74 lashes for singing without hijab

  • This woman in Aceh got 100 lashes:

    The woman’s flogging was briefly paused because she could not bear the pain, according to an Agence France-Presse reporter in the field.

    Apparently she survived it though.

  • Pigeons navigate using magnetic sensors in livers — study

    Jump

  • Per the article, they didn't remove the livers, only depleted the macrophages:

    "We found that after macrophage depletion, pigeons flying under overcast conditions lacked their usual orientation capabilities," they said.

  • Those people in the control center should keep an eye on multiple bridges across the Han river 24/7, with multiple sections for each bridge. I think it's a good thing to use AI in this case to reduce the human errors and weaknesses.

  • Japan’s robot wolf sells out as record bear attacks drive demand

    Jump

  • Those bears are living in mountainous areas with forest cover. One of the causes of the bear population boom was the declining number of hunters in those areas. The Japanese government had allocated 3.4 billion yen (around 21 million US dollars) for "bear countermeasures" in 2025. They also had already deployed soldiers to put traps and allowed the police to shoot and kill bears when necessary.
