Parts of Northeast Italy remain under a red weather alert after devastating rains swept through the area last week. More than six months’ worth of water fell from the sky in just 36 hours in the region of Emilia-Romagna and parts of neighboring Marche. Rivers swelled and breached their banks, submerging roads, homes,…

Multiple Twitter users are reporting that deleted tweets are reappearing on the site at an alarming rate, with one security expert noting that the social media app restored a whopping 34,000 messages, as reported by ZDNET. The bug also seems to be impacting deleted retweets.
The issue appears to be widespread, but all of the data’s anecdotal. It seems to mostly impact those who batch-deleted tweets via a third-party service like Redact or TweetDelete, though not always. In any event, check your feed for the reappearance of that tasteless Harambe tweet you wrote and then deleted back in 2016.
This is a trivial issue for many, but does speak to how the company handles and protects your private data. A former Twitter Site Reliability Engineer suggested on Mastodon that it “sounds a lot like they moved a bunch of servers between data centers and didn’t properly adjust the topology before reinserting them into the network.” There’s no way to find out anything official because Elon Musk disbanded the press team, replacing the press line with a bot that returns only poop emojis. In any event, we’ll update this story if the company issues a statement of any kind that addresses the issue.
This has been a bizarre few months for the social media platform. The city of San Francisco launched a probe into potential building code violations and the site’s been plagued with technical issues. All of this has led to a stark decline in usage numbers, with competitors waiting in the wings to scoop up those fleeing the service.

Exciting news in the world of animal-free meat, as Enzymit and Aleph Farms have teamed up to make cultivated meat production faster and cheaper — their collaboration holds incredible potential, not just for cow cells but also for other types of cultivated meat.
Scaling up cultivated meat production has faced challenges due to the high costs of developing non-animal-derived serum protein mimetics (these proteins are vital for cell growth but have been hard to obtain in the necessary quantity, quality, and affordability).
To overcome this hurdle, Aleph Farms sought the expertise of Enzymit to develop innovative insulin substitutes using microorganisms that mimic the functions of naturally occurring proteins found in animals but with enhanced activity per molecule.

Neta Lavon, CTO of Aleph Farms, highlighted the significance of this development, emphasizing the need for more suitable aids to drive economies of scale and make cultivated meat mainstream.
By combining Enzymit’s outstanding protein design capabilities with Aleph Farms’ expertise in cellular agriculture, they are building the foundations for cost-efficiency and long-term impact in the industry.
A partnership that will revolutionize the alternative meat production
The collaboration between both companies will stop at cow cells — it will also cover other cultivated meat types like pork, lamb, and poultry. Insulin, a highly conserved protein across species, has the potential to revolutionize the production of these meat alternatives.
Enzymit’s achievement is owed to its cutting-edge computational design algorithms and high-throughput testing capabilities. Leveraging these resources, they swiftly developed a range of insulin substitutes, testing them rigorously. These selected proteins, soluble and expressed in E. coli, require no complex purification or additional treatments.

After a thorough screening, they identified several leading candidates with superior activity in cell culturing, requiring minimal concentration for activation. These proteins could dramatically reduce production time and costs by minimizing downstream purification and maturation processes.
Gideon Lapidoth, CEO of Enzymit, expressed gratitude for the partnership with Aleph Farms, recognizing their invaluable role in advancing cost-efficient cultivated meat production. With stable and active insulin substitutes, the cost of growth media can be significantly reduced, driving efficiency in producing cultivated meat on a larger scale. Together, they are shaping a brighter future for the industry.

Gabriel Luna’s take on Robbie Reyes as Ghost Rider in Agents of SHIELD was highly praised, and fans of both the show and the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe have continually brought up Luna (The Last of Us) as an ideal crossover candidate. The actor wasn’t always in favor of that idea—but now he’s more open to it.
