A 14 billion dollar valuation for a company that made 20 gene edits to get the likeness of dire wolf is neat, in a way, but is this a great use of hundreds of millions of dollars when there are many conservation measures that could be done now rather than after a species goes extinct?

Three years ago, three other reporters and I ID'd and called any school accused of having litter boxes for furries.

We found one (1) in the entire country: Columbine's school district.

Cat litter was for a "go bucket," in case kids were locked in during a shooting.

I’m deeply saddened by the evidence emerging from the Ida Lock inquest. It’s clear that the lessons from the Morecambe Bay Investigation were not fully heeded at the time—utterly unacceptable. My heart goes out to Ida’s family & my deepest sympathies are with them.

This is a fantastic victory for the long running campaign to clean up our beautiful Windermere.

Liberal Democrats will continue to hold ministers feet to the fire to make sure they honour their promise to protect Windermere.
