It doesn't make sense to adopt new rules or scrap existing ones that could lead to long-term damage to the ocean environment just for some short-term economic gains.

No one wants their seafood with a side of endangered whale, no matter their political affiliation.
NOAA proposal could change protections for NC right whales, turtles
The Trump administration is proposing rule changes to boost US seafood competitiveness. But some fear they could endanger N.C. whales and sea turtles.

Word of mouth is basically the only way small team projects can gain any traction. People hate ads with a passion, and ignore creators when they pitch their own work. But people will give something a chance when a person they know says they like something
"Indies will save us"

No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES!

Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

genAI cannot ever do what paleoart does. Want to envision the ancient past? Read a book, use your imagination, pick up a pencil, or just look at all the amazing ways people have wondered about the deep past. It's a human thing.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can EVADE the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.
A personalized vaccine for melanoma cut the risk of cancer returning after five years
If the vaccine is effective in a late-stage trial, it would be “paradigm-shifting,” one expert said.
