    What Happened to the Bone-Crushing Dogs That Once Hunted Across North America?
    https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/what-happened-to-the-bone-crushing-dogs-that-once-hunted-across-north-america-180987037/
    Long before coyotes and millions of years before wolves, bone-crushing dogs padded across North America. The prehistoric canids came in an array of sizes, from small nippers comparable to foxes to huge, skeleton-busting predators larger than the largest gray wolf. For more than 31 million years, they were among the most versatile carnivores on the continent, and remainders of their prehistoric meals indicate that they truly did eat more bones than other canids. But by 1.8 million years ago, they were all gone. Paleontologists know bone-crushing dogs by their technical name, borophagines. The short, deep muzzles of the canids have often reminded paleontologists of spotted hyenas, carnivores that are more closely related to cats than dogs. Borophagines evolved jaw specializations to crack open and consume more bone than predators like wolves do. But as experts have continued to study borophagines, they’ve found that the predators were not simply dogs acting like hyenas. The canids hunted during a span when grasslands populated by immense herbivorous mammals like camels, rhinos, horses and elephants were spreading with them, and borophagines had the ability to bust large carcasses into splinters.

    Wild pigs found with blue meat in California spark alarm
    https://www.sfgate.com/centralcoast/article/wild-pigs-found-blue-meat-california-monterey-20798446.php
    A wildlife trapper in Monterey County made an unexpected discovery after capturing a series of wild pigs in March of this year. While processing the animals, the trapper found several with blue-tinged muscles and fat tissues. The bizarre discoloration is a result of exposure to diphacinone, an anticoagulant rodenticide that is often dyed to identify it as a poison, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

    Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver Fighting in ‘Marriage Story’ Is Being Used by the USDA to Scare Off Wolves and Save Cattle: ‘They Need to Know Humans Are Bad’
    https://variety.com/2025/film/news/scarlett-johansson-voice-scare-wolves-farms-1236477759/
    A new report from The Wall Street Journal reveals that audio of Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver screaming at each other in Noah Baumbach’s “Marriage Story” is being used by the United States Department of Agriculture to scare off wolves from killing cattle and scaring livestock on farms across the America. The fight scene is the most emotionally volatile moment in Baumbach’s 2019 drama, which earned both Johansson and Driver Oscar nominations. Per the WSJ: “Riding to the rescue are drone cowhands, whose quadcopters have thermal cameras that can reveal any wolf lurking in the darkness and bathe it in a spotlight. A loudspeaker broadcasts alarming sounds like fireworks, gunshots and people arguing. One recording is of the fight between Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver in the movie ‘Marriage Story.'” “I need the wolves to respond and know that, hey, humans are bad,” a USDA district supervisor in Oregon told the publication.

    700,000 years ahead of their teeth: The carbs that made us human
    https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/08/250802022924.htm
    The study authors analyzed fossilized hominin teeth for carbon and oxygen isotopes left behind from eating plants known as graminoids, which includes grasses and sedges. They found that ancient humans gravitated toward consuming these plants far earlier than their teeth evolved to chew them efficiently. It was not until 700,000 years later that evolution finally caught up in the form of longer molars like those that let modern humans easily chew tough plant fibers.

    Police use of gas to end standoff goes awry, spreading further than expected in building
    https://www.cambridgeday.com/2025/08/02/police-use-of-gas-to-end-standoff-goes-awry-spreading-further-than-expected-in-building/
    Police engaged in a nightlong standoff Friday in Cambridge after a man wielded a machete in Central Square and made it to his home in The Port neighborhood, according to police and police scanner reports. In an effort to get the barricaded man out of his home, police used gas that sent several sickened residents fleeing instead. Though at first the man could be seen pacing through the window at 243 Broadway, after a while he pulled the shades and police lost their view, Gas was shot into the building shortly after midnight and rose through the building – which had not been fully evacuated. The 1879 five-story brick building, known as the George Close, was once a warehouse. Its 53,724 square feet holds 61 apartments. One man came out livid from being affected by the gas – a mix of pepper spray and tear gas, according to a Pro EMS responder. One of the people watching over the hours took video of a woman on the fourth floor coughing and calling for help. Elderly residents in medical masks were assisted out of the building at 1:25 am., followed by a man in a wheelchair and others.

    Meta violated privacy law, jury says in menstrual data fight
    https://www.courthousenews.com/meta-violated-privacy-law-jury-says-in-menstrual-data-fight/
    A jury found Friday that Meta violated the California Invasion of Privacy Act when it intentionally recorded the sensitive health information of millions of women through the period tracking app Flo. "This is a landmark moment in the effort to safeguard digital privacy rights," said Michael P. Canty of the New York-based firm Labaton Keller Sucharow, who represented the plaintiffs. "Our clients entrusted their most sensitive information to a health app, only to have it exploited by one of the world’s most powerful tech companies.” Jurors were given three questions — and on each one, they ruled against Meta. They said that yes, Meta had intentionally eavesdropped and that yes, users could have reasonably expected that their sensitive menstrual information was not being shared. Finally, the jurors ruled that no, Meta did not have consent for its actions.
