The 18th annual No Pants Subway Ride takes place Jan. 13 in New York City and dozens of cities around the world — including London, Copenhagen, Buenos Aires, Chicago, San Francisco and many more.
The event was started by Improv Everywhere in New York in 2002 with only seven participants. Recent No Pants Subway Rides have had nearly 2,000 participants in New York, and thousands more around the world. About 2,000 participants were expected this year in New York. Organizers call it “an international celebration of silliness.” (Improv Everywhere)

U.S. health and agriculture officials pledged new spending and other efforts Friday to help track and contain an outbreak of bird flu in the nation's dairy cows that has spread to more than 40 herds in nine states. The new funds include $101 million to continue work to prevent, test, track and treat animals and humans potentially affected by the virus known as Type A H5N1, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said. In addition, dairy farmers will be compensated for the loss of milk production from infected cattle, whose supply drops dramatically when they become sick, officials said.

Bidders will fight with their dollars next week at an Ohio auction house for the sword of the Civil War Union general who led a scored-earth campaign across Georgia and coined the phrase “War is hell.” General William Tecumseh Sherman’s wartime sword, likely used between 1861 and 1863, are among the items that will be open to bidders Tuesday at Fleischer’s Auctions in Columbus. Other items that will be auctioned off include Sherman's uniform’s rank insignia worn during the Civil War, a family Bible and his personal, annotated copy of Ulysses S. Grant’s memoirs.
Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk has big plans to expand the EV maker's Supercharger network by investing over $500 million into the project, according to a recent post on X. The irony lies in the fact that Tesla laid off a bulk of its Supercharger development team at the end of April. Gartner Vice President and Team Manager of Automotives, Transportation, and Cross Manufacturing Mike Ramsey sits down with Catalysts to discuss Tesla's charging network strategy, calling the layoffs a "cost optimization effort as they try to get their operations in line" "But, the investment in the network actually makes a lot of sense, and might be a real benefit to them in the long term as a new source of revenue," Ramsey tells Yahoo Finance. Ramsey goes on to comment on Tesla's full self-driving capabilities in its vehicles; Tesla's Autopilot function is currently undergoing a probe by Department of Justice (DOJ) officials. "What they're charging customers for is a partially automated system that is more like a convenience feature. It is not a self-driving vehicle, like something that Waymo is offering in the southeast United States and in San Francisco," Ramsey states. "So when Tesla talks about this service improving and rolling out, they are not really playing in the same field as many of the, I would say, fully autonomous robocab-type providers are playing. That said, their system keeps getting better and better and they can make money selling it because it's a nice feature and that people like to have, and... Tesla has promised that in August they're going to unveil their new robocab that can... essentially be a full self-driving vehicle. My expectation is that vehicle will not be the same thing that you and I can buy..." For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Catalysts.

New Brunswick is going to increase roadside suspensions for impaired drivers, while allowing more of them to escape criminal charges, a tradeoff that officials believe will reduce injuries and deaths. The Progressive Conservative government's changes - based on successful reforms in British Columbia more than a decade ago and mimicked in Alberta and Manitoba - will likely improve road safety but put more discretion in the hands of police officers and raise concerns about the lack of fair and due
