Bluesky Blocks Links to Leaked DHS Employee Database

Bluesky is preventing users from opening links to a leaked archive, published by Distributed Denial of Secrets, containing records on over 41,000 DHS employees and contractors, including names, contact details and internal group affiliations. The platform labels the links "malicious" and says it blocked access to the files rather than removing individual posts, citing violations of its rule against sharing personal contact information without consent. The DDoSecrets homepage itself remains accessible, and at least one third-party app built on Bluesky's network still allows the archive link to load without warning.

Claude Code's background status-line summaries found consuming up to 20% of token spend

A community audit using Claude Code's own OpenTelemetry data found that the tool repeatedly sends each background agent's full transcript to its model (usually Opus) every ~30 seconds, asking for a 3-5 word summary of its last action, solely to update a status line. Flamerix AI's analysis found this 'agent_summary' traffic accounted for roughly 16-20% of API requests and spend, more than the main conversation itself, with no built-in setting to disable it since it became default in version 2.1.232. The developer released a Bun preload script, no-agent-summary.js, that intercepts and suppresses these summary calls without modifying the Claude Code binary.

Oxfam: Richest 0.1% emit more carbon than poorest 3.5 billion combined

A new Oxfam analysis, released ahead of COP31 in Türkiye, finds that the world's wealthiest 8 million people produce more carbon pollution than the poorest 3.5 billion people combined. Oxfam says a person in this top 0.1% has contributed nearly 400 times more to current extreme heatwaves than someone in the poorest half of humanity, and that this group alone emits over three times more than all of Sub-Saharan Africa's 1.3 billion residents. The report also introduces a 'Destroy & Rebuild Index' tracking how wealthy investors in polluting industries are also profiting from disaster recovery and preparedness businesses.

NUS researchers build washable touchscreen woven into a fabric sleeve

A team at the National University of Singapore, led by Assistant Professor Tural Khudiyev, has created a flexible display by weaving 54 electronic fibers—each embedding LEDs and touch sensors within a one-millimeter-thick structure—into a garment sleeve. The 168mm by 105mm prototype displays images and video at 30 frames per second, responds to touch, connects wirelessly to devices, and maintains performance after 50 machine-wash cycles.
