80 years ago, on 1 August 1944, the Warsaw Rising started. In Poland, we know the price of freedom. How much does it take to stand up for the values you believe in? Look at the heroes of WARSAW🇵🇱 Sound on 🔉 #ThereWasACity🔹warsawrising.eu

AI continues to make unbelievable advances in healthcare. Researchers have just created a brain implant that decodes thoughts into synthesized speech allowing paralyzed patients to communicate through a digital avatar. This is incredible: -The implant converts brain signals into text at nearly 80 words per minute, focusing on phonemes vs. whole words to enhance speed. -The AI generates realistic vocals (mirroring a patient’s pre-injury voice) and facial animations that aim to enable more natural communication. -The breakthrough brings the tech closer to real-world use, with the next step being a wireless model that doesn’t require a physical connection to the interface. Restoring communication for those with paralysis is an innovation that would change countless lives. While it sounds crazy, mind-reading implants seem to be inching closer to reality.

REMEMBER: It's only a coup if it comes from the coup d'etat region of France. What's happening in Moscow right now is a sparkling insurrection.

The image says "click here" with an arrow pointing to the ALT description tag in the bottom left corner. Side note for everybody: Many Twitter users, including brands, have been using this to prompt people to open the ALT text, where they have left a joke. ALT text is a hugely important accessibility tool designed to help people navigate the internet more easily, so it shouldn't be used as a punchline. This is especially true if the ALT text doesn't describe the image, leaving blind and visually impaired people out of the joke.

This time every year Dad would go on about how turkey wasn't traditional here; they'd always have goose. That got me thinking about communities in Ireland with their own traditions. Many families will be having a Nollaig Pholannach, for example! What'll they be eatin'? 🇵🇱🎄
