For years, whale sharks gathered in the waters off Nosy Be, Madagascar, until recent reports suggest that their numbers are falling. A photograph of a known whale shark taken 1,200 km away in Seychelles may have offered a clue to this conundrum.

One reason I love going to my grad school friends' weddings is because they inevitably play "We Found Love In A Hopeless Place" and the whole group on the dance floor is just like "yeah that's Caltech."

A new report by the Environmental Justice Foundation alleges forced labor, shark finning and illegal fishing on Chinese vessels targeting jumbo flying squid in the Southeast Pacific.
The findings draw on interviews with 81 fishers, mainly Indonesians who worked on 60 vessels between 2021 and 2025.
Brazilian authorities seized 1.5 tons of shark fins in Bahia and arrested seven suspects, alleging a Chinese-run trafficking network.
Finning is illegal in Brazil, but experts warn a bycatch export loophole may still enable large-scale smuggling.
"Other provinces in South Africa and places such as Australia and Réunion, an Indian Ocean island administered by France, increasingly use **nonlethal approaches**, including shark spotters, drones, exclusion barriers and smart drum lines that allow captured sharks to be released alive." 🦈
There are reports from people in North Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and even Washington state hearing the big boom.

I've been told that Ken Sim told his team that a stranger waived a physical photo at him during a Chinatown event and falsely claimed that it was Orr dealing drugs on Christmas Day.
The mayor doesn't remember the specific contents or style of the photo, and can't remember who showed it to him.
"The news conference began at 2 p.m., and by 2:05 p.m., the mayor had disappeared. Journalists and other observers present were baffled."

I know it is easy to doomscroll, especially today. Please plan for yourself at least one or many more offline activities. Buy a pastry, read a book, go to a museum, see a friend, cook a meal, play with a pet, or even a trip to Costco. Try to limit time on your phone and avoid stewing in anxiety.
