Besides more granular controls over which things will trigger a notification, you can now receive alerts for any activity from a chosen account. As a fledgling app, Bluesky has lacked the in-depth notification toggles you might find in something like Instagram, which has had over a decade to figure out when people want to be contacted.

This Cough Syrup Ingredient Might Actually Slow Dementia

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-08-16 01:46:39

Today’s cough syrup could turn into tomorrow’s treatment for Parkinson’s disease. Recent research in the U.K. is the latest to suggest that a common ingredient in cough syrup, ambroxol, might be able to slow down the progression of Parkinson’s. Scientists at St. Joseph’s Health Care London conducted the year-long small study, which involved 55 patients with Parkinson’s-related dementia. The drug was safely tolerated and may have stabilized people’s symptoms, particularly people more genetically

Oldest wooden tools in East Asia may have come from any of three species

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-16 01:05:05

Someone made very sophisticated wooden tools in China 300,000 years ago, and it might have been Denisovans or even Homo erectus. The digging sticks, curved root-slicers, and a handful of somewhat puzzling implements were all found at a lakeshore site called Gantangqing. They are the oldest wooden tools from East Asia so far. All the previous Pleistocene tools found in the area were made from harder material like stone, bone, or antler. But logic suggests that hominins must have prepared and use

Now, 15 years after FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood concluded, Bones is back at adapting Arakawa’s work, namely her fantasy manga Daemons of the Shadow Realm. During Crunchyrol
