Sex and the sea snail: how a plucky marine lab brought a mollusk back from the brink
Once abundant in California, the white abalone had all but vanished. Now, thanks to an innovative breeding program, itβs staged a remarkable comeback
This is good news. It's working because the temperature is lower than this abalone's natural range (Pt Conception, Channel Is, to lower middle Baja Pacific side) so withering syndrome is kept at bay. This could have been done 45 years ago when disease 1st appeared

Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark Americaβs birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, weβre getting screwed and heβs getting rich.

We asked Xbox fans why backward compatibility still matters
Xbox players across Windows Centra communities share which OG Xbox and Xbox 360 classics they want revived through backward compatibility.
However, the biggest takeaway from the poll is that most readers want something broader. A clear majority, 53%, simply want the backward compatibility program to return for everything, which is also the camp I find myself in.
This is Something Sony and Nintendo will never understand.

The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, thatβs treason.

Live Nation settles US antitrust case
Live βNation Entertainment βhas βreached βa proposed β settlement βwith βthe U.S. Justice βDepartment, βaccording to βa β court hearing βon βMonday.
Instead of taking Live Nation-Ticketmaster to trial, Trump just let them off the hook.
The federal government had been building a case for years, and could have broken up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly.
But Trump just let them settle out of court.

Despite ICE employees seeking to keep a low profile in public, ICE official Madison Sheehan placed a bulk order for marked vehicles.
DHS made a massive purchase of 2,500 new custom marked ICE vehicles that are now sitting in parking garages because nobody wants to use them: βICE has never had marked vehicles. We donβt want to use these - we canβt.β www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immig...
