You wouldn’t know it from pro-abortion corporate media and Democrats’ commentary, but a bipartisan coalition of Louisiana legislators in the state House passed a bill this week that aims to punish anyone who knowingly tries to induce chemical abortion in a woman without her consent — the “crime of coerced criminal abortion by means of fraud.”

The legislation also changes the drug classification of mifepristone and misoprostol to ensure possession of the most popular abortifacient combination on the market without a prescription is illegal.

Meta, the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has recently enhanced its AI tool by adding new features. This tool, called Meta AI, is specifically designed for advertisers to help them create more creative advertisements on these platforms. By using these AI tools, users will be able to generate photos and videos that can be used for advertising purposes. These AI tools work on Llama, an advanced large language model.

Meta has stated that their aim is to assist advertisers at every step of their journey, whether it’s through improving performance, generating creative ideas, or automating tasks. The new AI tools of Meta will be particularly useful in image generation. Advertisers can create attractive advertisements for their businesses by using these tools, including adding text to images, choosing different backgrounds, and generating AI-generated backgrounds with their products.

For example, if an advertiser wants to advertise their product on Meta’s social media platform, they will have the option to create an AI-generated background with the product. This tool will help advertisers to make their advertisements more appealing and engaging to their target audience. Similarly, through Meta AI’s video generation tool, advertisers can use AI elements in their product videos as well.

Apart from these new AI tools, Meta AI has also been integrated into Meta’s products, which is currently being rolled out. This integration means that users will soon be able to access these generative AI tools on the social media platform. By using these tools, advertisers can make their product advertisements more attractive, thus increasing their chances of getting more traction.

Hamish Spencer, zoologist and distinguished professor at the University of Otago, was vacationing in Colombia when ornithologist John Murillo pointed out an interesting bird perched on a feeding station. The bird in question was a green honeycreeper, but it didn’t look quite like any honeycreeper they’d seen before. The right half of the bird was blue, resembling males of the species, and the left half was green—the hue typically seen in females.

This special honeycreeper is one of many animals that display bilateral gynandromorphism, a trait where animals present both male and female characteristics even though their species usually have distinct sexes.

Other birds have displayed bilateral gynandromorphism. In 2019, a cardinal with male and female plumage was spotted in Erie, Pennsylvania. In 2020, researchers in Pennsylvania found a gynandromorphic rose-breasted grosbeak that displayed male plumage on the right and female plumage on the left.

These birds, and other binary-breaking animals like clownfish and leaping lesbian lizards, are proof that nature is less into simple labels than you think. For more on the way the natural world consistently shatters our idea of how things like sex should work, check out these gene-stealing salamanders, this super-sexy slime mold, and Rachel’s book about the weird and wonderful evolution of sex.

Belarus has begun checks on the readiness of its army to deploy tactical nuclear weapons, simultaneously with a drill being carried out by Russia.

Russia said on Monday it would practise the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons as part of a military exercise after what Moscow said were threats from France, Britain and the United States.
