    AP freelancer among 5 journalists killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza hospital, health officials say
    https://apnews.com/article/mideast-wars-gaza-journalists-killed-5c33e999ee88effd89566a993b31d9cc
    Among the victims was Mariam Dagga, a freelancer for the Associated Press. Al Jazeera confirmed that its journalist Mohammed Salam was also killed in the strike. Reuters reported that its contractor cameraman Hussam al-Masri was killed, and photographer Hatem Khaled was wounded. Two strikes hit Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in quick succession, medical officials said. In videos, journalists and rescue workers can be seen rushing to the scene of the first one, before a massive explosion hits an exterior staircase where journalists are often stationed. In all, 20 people were killed, according to Zaher al-Waheidi, head of the Gaza Health Ministry’s records department.

    DOT repaints Pulse crosswalk for a second time. FHP and OPD watching site
    https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/08/24/dot-repaints-pulse-crosswalk-for-a-second-time-fhp-and-opd-watching-site/
    A Florida Department of Transportation crew early Sunday painted the Pulse crosswalk back to black and white for a second time as supporters continued to try to restore the rainbow-colored crossing. Now, police agencies are monitoring the site. Spectrum News 13, the Orlando Sentinel’s news partner, reported that the DOT repainted the crosswalk on Esther Street at South Orange Avenue after colored paint was used on the crossing on Saturday. Previously, supporters had been using chalk to draw back the rainbow colors, but rain washed that away. A squad of Florida Highway Patrol and Orlando Police Department officers surveilled the dozen people who were using chalk on the rainbow crosswalk on Sunday. Advocates said it was an intimidation tactic.

    Protesters gathered on Monday at St Leonard’s police station in Edinburgh to support Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign (SPSC) member Moira McFarlane, who was to be charged under section 13 of the Terrorist Act for wearing an illegal T-shirt condemning Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people, with the words "Genocide in Palestine, time to take action". The charge follows a visit to her home in the middle of the night by plainclothes police officers.

    Scientists found the missing nutrients bees need — Colonies grew 15-fold
    https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/08/250822073807.htm
    Scientists have developed a breakthrough food supplement that could help save honeybees from devastating declines. By engineering yeast to produce six essential sterols found in pollen, researchers provided bees with a nutritionally complete diet that boosted reproduction up to 15-fold. Unlike commercial substitutes that lack key nutrients, this supplement mimics natural pollen’s sterol profile, giving bees the equivalent of a balanced diet.

    Brother May I Have Some Rat
    https://defector.com/brother-may-i-have-some-rat?giftLink=3a6a344e10ae0d0dabc728946de9caa4
    By night, spectral bats leave their roost and swoop through the tree canopy of Costa Rica, wings outstretched as far as three feet wide, in search of prey: unsuspecting mice and rats, birds called motmots, even other bats. Sometimes, after they snag something good, they will fly back home with the doomed victim in their stalactite teeth and willingly give up a meal to another bat inside the roost. At the end of the day, the world's largest carnivorous bat is a rather cooperative creature. This is one of several findings in a new paper recently published in the journal PLOS One, which analyzes footage taken from a single roost in the tropical dry forest of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The roost in question is inside of the hollow trunk of a Manilkara chicle tree. Marisa Tietge, a behavioral ecologist at the Natural History Museum in Berlin, first found the roost in December 2022, when it held four spectral bats: a monogamous mated pair and their two pups. A year later, the researchers placed a wildlife camera inside the roost, which automatically recorded minute-long videos over the course of three months whenever the bats left the roost.
