    It isn’t always intentional that the stories we bring together in our daily newsletter draw connections. But here’s an interesting commonality between a story by Erika Page about artificial intelligence and the Viewfinder image of pigeons: According to studies from the University of Iowa, the birds that flock our public squares can learn to identify patterns the same way large language models do. Today’s stories also include U.S. agencies pushing back on DOGE and whether US students can help solve Florence’s tourist problem. Join the Monitor's Kurt Shillinger for today's news.

    Amid commemorations this week of the 80-year anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, polls show a growing desire among Germans to feel less burdened by the past. The path Germany takes will have profound consequences, from how it leads in a militarizing Europe to whether right-wing extremism might rekindle the kind of nationalism the country has scrupulously avoided. Also: today’s stories, including a look at how the effects of President Trump’s tariffs may impact U.S. consumers and an already disrupted supply chain; a growing effort to fix the U.S. critical mineral deficit through “biomining”; and how Indonesia’s national “Green Islam” movement calls on citizens to become environmental stewards.
