NEW YORK (AP) — Jerry Seinfeld has been responsible for more movies than you think. Yes, he co-wrote and lent his voice to 2007's “Bee Movie." But before that, “Seinfeld” — where going to the movies, with or without the aid of Moviefone, was nearly as regular a destination as the coffee shop — gave birth to dozens of (fake) films. “Rochelle, Rochelle." “Prognosis Negative.” “Sack Lunch." But nearly three decades after Seinfeld was, in one episode, cajoled into bootlegging “Death Blow," he has fi

Record low levels of Antarctic sea-ice in late 2023 have resulted in breeding failures in a fifth of the continent’s emperor penguin colonies according to research released by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) on World Penguin Day on 25 April 2024. With 14 of 66 colonies and tens of thousands of penguins affected, the finding is not as severe as the 2022 season, in which 19 colonies — almost 30% — were impacted but there is an increasing trend of colonies losing chicks as a result of ice-loss before the end of the breeding cycle with 2023 the second worst year since the observations began in 2018. Emperor penguins breed and raise their chicks on land-fast sea ice – stable sea ice that is firmly attached to the shore. If this ice breaks up too early, the chicks go into the sea before they grow their waterproof feathers — known as fledging. This leads to high, or sometimes total, chick mortality at the colony. Several colonies that were badly affected in 2022 also showed adaptations with some moving home to find more stable ice and some breeding on icebergs or ice shelves - raising hope for the future. Despite this, current predictions suggest that in scenarios in which greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise at current levels the population of emperor penguins will fall by 99% by the end of the century, leading to the virtual extinction of this beautiful animal.

Ukraine’s foreign minister doubled down Friday on the government’s move to bolster the pool of fighting forces by cutting off consular services to conscription-age men outside the country, saying it was a question of "justice.” Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said the policy would ensure men in Ukraine and those who have left were both treated fairly. “It’s about justice -- justice in the relationship between Ukrainian men abroad and Ukrainian men inside of Ukraine,” he said.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said its Office of Defects Investigation was opening a “Recall Query” to assess if Tesla recall in December of more than 2 million vehicles over a fix to its AutoPilot system was good enough. It makes for a good headline—safety investigator looking at 2 million-plus Tesla vehicles over self-driving recall fix—but investors just don’t need to worry about it. The December recall, which impacted more than 2 million Tesla vehicles—essentially every single one on U.S. roads—was the culmination of an investigation that began in June 2022.
