After the 700-Mile Ride, Who Kept the Promises?

NPR revisits a teenager’s 700-mile bicycle journey in India with her injured father and asks whether offers of financial help, cycling training, and a movie deal were fulfilled.

The South Coast Gets a View of the Northern Lights

What Would Replacing This Chestnut Grove Preserve?

Futurism reports that Nscale’s proposed Monarch Compute Campus in West Virginia threatens a grove of 200 blight-resistant chestnut trees planted in the 1970s.

Mac Owners Want Their Disk Space Back

Futurism reports that Mac users are turning to RemoveMacAI, an open-source tool whose developer says it disables Apple Intelligence features and prevents further downloads.

Owners of storage-constrained Macs could reclaim meaningful space, but an unsupported removal tool may leave them responsible for compatibility checks and recovery.

Hastings, Reenacted Rather Than Recovered

NPR reports that the Bayeux Tapestry’s London tour is drawing enthusiasts to a Battle of Hastings reenactment in the UK.

DHS Patrols a Tribe’s Home

ProPublica reports that DHS surveilled a prayer ceremony and questioned Tohono O’odham members as Border Patrol coordinated tests for a 62-mile wall along the Nation’s southern boundary in Arizona.

Wall construction could disrupt tribal members’ crossings for ceremonies and family visits, while surveillance puts government scrutiny inside an inhabited homeland.
