Briefly X discouraged users From viewing the link to the NPR story about Donald Trump’s recent visit to Arlington National Cemetery. NPR’s Stephen Fowler posted a link to a story earlier this week that quoted an Army official who said a worker at Arlington National Cemetery was “suddenly thrown aside” during an event attended by Trump and members of his campaign. Clicking on the story brought up an X warning message saying “this link may be dangerous”. It stated that it may be malicious, violent, spammy or otherwise violate the platform’s rules. In a statement to an NPR reporter, a spokesperson for X claimed that the alert was caused by a “false positive.” Now deleted.
It may be an innocent mistake, but Musk, the owner of X, has been a vocal supporter of Trump in this election. Musk has also publicly feuded with NPR in the past — an odd fight to pick — adding the “state-affiliated media” label to its account for a few months last year. Since the tag was added, NPR has not released any information from its main account on X.

They could lead to produce-care robots that sense subtle chemical reactions.
Cornell University researchers used mushroom mycelia to power a pair of proof-of-concept robots. Mycelium, an underground network of fungi that can germinate like an above-ground fruit, can sense light and chemical reactions and communicate via electrical signals. The researchers created two robots: a soft spider-like robot and a four-wheeled cart. Researchers have used mycelia’s light-sensing abilities to control machines using ultraviolet light.
