    A Profound Mystery Gave Earthworms The Most Chaotic Genomes Ever Seen
    https://www.sciencealert.com/a-profound-mystery-gave-earthworms-the-most-chaotic-genomes-ever-seen
    "Everything broke and then rearranged completely randomly," Rosa Fernández, from Spain's Institute of Evolutionary Biology (CSIC-UPF), told Christie Wilcox at Science. "I made my team repeat the analysis a thousand times." Three groups of researchers have now independently reached this same conclusion, upending a long held assumption that there's a certain level of genetic stability required for animal species to avoid extinction.

    SF's Milk club rescinds Wiener endorsement
    https://www.ebar.com/story.php?ch=news&id=335326
    Supporters of Wiener have pointed out that his positions on housing and on the war in Gaza, while at odds with some of the club's membership, mirror those of federal lawmakers the club is endorsing this year. Notably, his position on the Gaza conflict advocating for a ceasefire and hostage deal is indistinguishable from politicians the club continues to endorse, including Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, Congressmember Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco), and Congressmember Kevin Mullin (D-San Mateo/San Francisco).

    How Memphis became a battleground over Elon Musk’s xAI supercomputer
    https://www.npr.org/2024/09/11/nx-s1-5088134/elon-musk-ai-xai-supercomputer-memphis-pollution
    Down a long, flat road in the industrial zone of South Memphis, a newly occupied factory is humming with activity. It’s a low-level white building that spans the length of several football fields. Workers in florescent green vests excavate the surrounding land, and a parade of construction trucks comes and goes. More than a dozen generators steadily burn methane gas. This part of Memphis, Tenn., is known for its factories and smokestacks. Nearby are a handful of historically Black neighborhoods, where poor air quality has given residents elevated asthma rates and lower life expectancy. Now, they have a new neighbor: Elon Musk. Alongside the factory are at least 18 portable methane gas generators, which visibly emit a steady stream of hazy smoke into the air. These turbines help fuel the company’s AI. They started to appear in June and have multiplied over the last couple of months. According to the Southern Environmental Law Center, it’s estimated these generators can provide enough electricity to power 50,000 homes. And they have the capacity to emit 130 tons of harmful nitrogen oxides per year, potentially making them a major source of the pollutant in Memphis. xAI doesn’t have air permits for these turbines, according to the Shelby County Health Department and the Environmental Protection Agency. The county health department told NPR that it only regulates gas-burning generators if they’re in the same location for more than 364 days. “Given the mobile nature of the gas-turbines in question … [the health department] does not have current permitting authority,” a spokeswoman wrote in an email. She said this is the Environmental Protection Agency’s jurisdiction.

    Bar owner alleges he was victim of ‘shakedown' amid growing federal criminal probe into City Hall, NYPD
    https://www.nbcnewyork.com/investigations/brooklyn-bar-owner-alleges-shakedown-amid-nypd-nightlife-investigation-james-caban/5791217/
    A Coney Island bar owner said he was told his problems with the NYPD could be resolved if he hired and paid the police commissioner’s brother. The bar owner alleged it was a worker in the mayor’s office who allegedly tried to help arrange the deal. “I felt it was like I got an ultimatum. It’s like either you gonna get with this - or you gonna get shut down,” bar owner Shamel Kelly told NBC New York. Shamel Kelly said it was associate director Ray Martin of the mayor's Office of Entertainment and Nightlife who first told him he could pay the police commissioner's brother to help get better treatment from the NYPD.

    Sharks decapitated, ray mutilated at national seashore, TX officials say. One cited
    https://www.thestate.com/news/nation-world/national/article292264195.html
    Wildlife officials have completed their investigation into an August incident in which numerous ocean species were found mutilated on a coastal beach, Texas authorities said. One individual has been cited for “waste of fish,” after National Park Service rangers and staff documented in early August “a decapitated tiger shark and bull shark, a deceased and mutilated sting ray, and approximately 15 mostly intact deceased crabs,” according to a Sept. 10 news release from Padre Island National Seashore. While it is legal to “fish for and harvest” sharks in Texas, it is illegal to take them from public waters without the intent to keep them for consumption or bait, wildlife officials said. Authorities with the NPS and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department identified a suspect who they said “confessed to decapitating the sharks, harvesting some meat, and leaving the shark bodies on the beach to be scavenged and rot,” per the release.

    The Next President Will Be a Climate-Disaster President
    https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2024/09/trump-harris-debate-climate-change/679778/
    Tonight’s presidential debate was held while wildfires rage in Nevada, Southern California, Oregon, and Idaho. Louisiana is bracing for a possible hurricane landfall. After a year of floods and storms across the country, more than 10 percent of Americans no longer have home insurance, as climate risk sends the insurance industry fleeing vulnerable places. Record heat waves have strained infrastructure and killed hundreds of Americans. For millions more, the ravages of climate change are already at their doorstep. These are all material miseries—tragedies and health hazards and inconveniences—that America’s two presidential candidates could use to connect with voters. Arguably, voters are owed a plan that would address these problems. Yet during the debate, climate discussion did not go far beyond Donald Trump making a scattered mention of solar energy—warning that under a Kamala Harris presidency, the country would “go back to windmills and solar, where they need a whole desert to get some energy to come out,” before adding, incongruously, “I’m a big fan of solar, by the way.” Harris, meanwhile, doubled down on her statement that she would not ban fracking. The moderators did broach the topic, asking the two candidates, “What would you do to fight climate change?” Harris briefly mentioned people losing their homes and insurance rates rising due to extreme weather. And she stressed that “we can deal with this issue”—before speaking about American manufacturing and U.S. gas production reaching historic levels. Trump spoke about tariffs on Mexican-produced cars. Neither mentioned what they would do to cope with the threat of more chaotic weather.
