    https://honehealth.com/edge/health/bryan-johnson-penis-rejuvenation/
    In a recent X post, the 49-year-old tech billionaire shared his ‘penis rejuvenation protocol.’ It involves getting six shockwave shockwave therapy treatments per week, along with daily erection tracking using the 4-point erection hardness score (EHS) and the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). He also uses a wearable erection tracker to check how often—and for how long—he gets hard at night.

    Almost all police stops – 92% – were because someone “fit a relevant description” or for a reason they labeled as “other.”

    Lawyers suing JetBlue say the airline could raise fares on some routes after buying Spirit Airlines
    https://apnews.com/article/jetblue-spirit-airlines-higher-fares-lawsuit-be63934fdb73c68a4beccf5f01863905
    JetBlue Airways could raise fares on some routes by up to 40% if it succeeds in buying Spirit Airlines and eliminating the low-fare carrier as a competitor on those routes, according to lawyers who are suing the airline to block the deal. The estimations were contained in court filings made earlier this week, and which JetBlue says were not properly redacted. JetBlue said Thursday that the filings are based on the opposition lawyers’ interpretation of evidence, and are taking facts out of context. Consumer advocates jumped on the news, saying that the accidental disclosure supports the Justice Department’s antitrust lawsuit aiming to block JetBlue’s $3.8 billion purchase of Spirit, the nation’s largest discount airline.

    North American grassland birds in peril, spurring all-out effort to save birds and their habitat
    https://apnews.com/article/grassland-birds-decline-endangered-species-climate-ce14337f33e77f190e245270bb3e6769
    North America's grassland birds are in trouble 50 years after adoption of the Endangered Species Act as habitat loss, land degradation and climate change threaten what remains of a once-vast ecosystem. When Reed Cammack hears the first meadowlark of spring, he knows his family has made it through another cold, snowy winter on the western South Dakota prairie. Nothing’s better, he says, than getting up at sunrise as the birds light up the area with song. “It’s part of the flora and fauna of our Great Plains and it’s beautiful to hear,” says Cammack, 42, a sixth-generation rancher who raises cattle on 10,000 acres (4,047 hectares) of mostly unaltered native grasslands. But the number of returning birds has dropped steeply, despite seemingly ideal habitat. “There are quite a few I don’t see any more and I don’t know for sure why,” says Cammack’s 92-year-old grandfather, Floyd. whose family has allowed conservation groups to install a high-tech tracking tower and to conduct bird surveys.
