We found that humpback whales use rings in non–mutually exclusive contexts including feeding (within bubble nets), during inquisitive behavior, and while passively resting.

Most episodes showed evidence of inquisitive behavior with a notable lack of other behaviors indicative of feeding or agonism/aggression. Although there was little evidence of feeding during bubble ring production, this may be limited by the majority of collected sightings occurring on breeding grounds where feeding is scarce.

Additionally, there was no evidence of agonism or aggression in any of the bubble production episodes.

For example, my runner-up is Ice-T: A notorious gangster rapper and "Cop Killer" singer currently in his 25th year in the role of CSI detective for the NYPD.
My top spot goes to Snoop Dogg: notorious gangster rapper and marijuana enthusiast who is now besties with Martha Stewart and in demand for cameo voice-overs in children's programming.

Of course, if schadenfreude is your thing, there's legendary comedian-cum-rapist monster Bill Cosby, or the recent falls of any number of the now mask-off nazis permeating the media.....

So, what is your favorite real-person character arc?

What if the Fediverse met... in real life?

The US President and his formerly favorite South African have had a major falling out. The WH says it may pull all of SpaceX's contracts, the South African says 'go ahead', and he's decommissioning the Dragon crew vehicle, the US's only safe method of getting to and from the ISS.

Meanwhile, half of NASA's efforts are heading for the chop too.

"L'État, c'est moi." ("I am the state.") Louis XIV, the 'Sun King' said about his absolute monarchy. The problem with having just one person in charge is that everyone suffers when they behave idiotically. Sadly, the once mighty US Space Program looks like being a casualty of that. Surely, this paves the way for China to be the world's preeminent space power.

The United States is placing sanctions on four judges from the international criminal court (ICC) for what it has called its “illegitimate actions” targeting the United States and Israel.

The secretary of state, Marco Rubio, announced the sanctions in a statement on Thursday. They target Solomy Balungi Bossa of Uganda, Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza of Peru, Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini-Gansou of Benin and Beti Hohler of Slovenia.

Donald Trump ordered cabinet officials to draw up sanctions against the ICC after the court issued arrest warrants for the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and former defense minister Yoav Gallant. Two of the sanctioned judges authorised the arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, and two authorised an ICC investigation into abuses by US personnel in Afghanistan.

At least four Palestinian journalists were killed in Israeli strikes targeting a group of media workers in Gaza City's al-Ahli Arab hospital's courtyard, local reporters told Middle East Eye.

According to local sources, the attack on Thursday morning came with no prior warning of the bombing.

The Israeli assault has so far claimed the lives of correspondent Suleiman Hajjaj and photographer Ismail Badah, who both worked for Palestine Today TV, alongside photographer Samir al-Rifai, who worked for the Shams News Agency.

Journalist Imad Daloul, who works for Palestine Today TV, and photographer Ahmed Qaljah, who worked for Al-Arabiya TV, were also critically injured in the Israeli attack and have been rushed to the intensive care unit.

According to the report, the government approved the transfer of NIS 700 million (some $280 million) last month to an unclear source, identified by the government only as “the defense establishment.”

Citing unnamed officials, Kan reported that the money was being used to fund the new aid mechanism, run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and that the decision to transfer the funds was made under the radar in an attempt to keep the public from finding out — ostensibly since doing so would be highly unpopular with the government’s hard-right base.

The Israel- and US-backed GHF began operating in Gaza late last month, with Jerusalem saying it would serve as an alternative to previous aid distribution mechanisms, as a way to prevent Hamas from hoarding aid and using it to control the population. At the same time, the organization and US officials have maintained that it is an independent and neutral body.
