"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. | |

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. | |

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. | |

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. | |
