In Minneapolis, viral videos are reshaping the ICE debate

In the snow-covered streets of Minneapolis, smartphones are recording the first draft of modern American history.
Everyday people have in recent weeks fanned out across the city to document protests and film tense interactions with federal immigration officers. They have also borne witness to tragedy.

Birds could be 60 million years older than thought

Tracks believed to be the work of small, scampering dinosaurs may have been made by birds, pushing back the date of the evolution of flight by 60 million years, scientists believe.
Birds first appear in the fossil record about 150 million years ago, when winged species such as Archaeopteryx evolved from a group of small, carnivorous, bipedal dinosaurs known as theropods.
However, in the past few decades, experts have noticed that ancient footprints, dating from much earlier, look surprisingly similar to bird tracks.

NEW YORK (AP) — Two artifacts found at a lake shore in Greece are the oldest wooden tools to be uncovered so far and date back 430,000 years.
One is a spindly stick about 2 1/2 feet (80 centimeters) long that could have been used for digging in the mud. The other is a smaller, more mysterious handheld chunk of willow or poplar wood that may have been used to shape stone tools, according to research published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Scientists think ancient humans wielded a whole litany of tools made from stone, bone and wood. But it's particular

Experts puzzled after 'incredibly rare' creature washes up on beach: 'Something we clearly hadn't seen before'

Pieces of a seldom-seen creature from the North Sea's twilight zone have been found on a beach near Aberdeenshire, Scotland, according to the BBC.
The discovery spotlights that our understanding of the seas' depths and the creatures in it remains murky.
The sucker-laden remains belong to a blob-like, seven-armed octopus that lives at depths of up to 3,900 feet. Females can be large, weighing 165 pounds, but males are much smaller, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute repo

Geoffrey Hinton, known as the “godfather” of artificial intelligence, said he’s “more worried” about the risks of AI today than he was two years ago, when he left his post at Google and began speaking freely about the dangers of the fast-developing technology.

“I’m probably more worried,” Hinton said when asked to compare his level of concern today to two years ago. “It’s progressed even faster than I thought.”
