- The community debated the “death” of Freenode after the May 2021 ownership takeover, noting that the new network kept the domain and server names but wiped all registered nicknames and channels, effectively erasing prior community memory.  
- Participants linked to The Register’s coverage of the mass staff resignation (https://www.theregister.com/2021/05/19/freenode_staff_resigns/) as background on the governance crisis.  
- A YouTube talk on “Mechanism of Temporal Interference stimulation using in-vitro and in silico model of hippocampal gamma oscillation” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTl6J7ELsE8&t=340s) was highlighted; key takeaway is that achieving deep-brain activation without cortical interference requires such high carrier frequencies that neurons become less responsive, necessitating much larger stimulation voltages.  
- A Science Focus article on gene-editing astronauts for space exploration (https://www.sciencefocus.com/space/space-exploration-gene-editing-astronauts/) was shared, indicating ongoing interest in human biological enhancement for long-duration missions.
