The world’s first vaccine for honeybees has been approved for use by the US government, raising hopes of a new weapon against diseases that routinely ravage colonies that are relied upon for food pollination. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has granted a conditional license for a vaccine created by Dalan Animal Health, a US biotech company, to help protect honeybees from American foulbrood disease. The vaccine, which will initially be available to commercial beekeepers, aims to curb foulbrood, a serious disease caused by the bacterium Paenibacillus larvae that can weaken and kill hives. There is currently no cure for the disease, which in parts of the US has been found in a quarter of hives, requiring beekeepers to destroy and burn any infected colonies and administer antibiotics to prevent further spread. When a successful Las Vegas company known for its entertainment and adult-themed shows looks to expand, one might think of New York City, Los Angeles, London or Paris. But just like the mind-bending absurdity of some of its acts — it chose the tiny town of Nipton, California, to expand — population 15 (or 20 depending on who you ask). Spiegelworld, the company that produces Absinthe at Caesars Palace, the Atomic Saloon Show at The Venetian, and OPM at Cosmopolitan has confirmed it is the buyer of Nipton, which is located in San Bernardino County’s Ivanpah Valley roughly 12 miles southeast of Primm, Nevada.  More than three years ago, Twitter prohibited political and issue-based ads amid broader concerns that politicians could pay to target social media users with false or misleading information. Now, under its new owner Elon Musk, the company is easing that ban, in a move that could provide Twitter a much-needed sales boost at a time when Musk is urgently searching for new revenue streams. But it comes with some risks: the policy change could expose users to threats the company has previously said it may not be able to address, including spreading AI-created deep fakes and other sophisticated attempts to manipulate the platform.

Before the start of 2023, Twitter CEO Elon Musk made several cuts and changes to the platform and staff since his takeover. Some of these changes are now allegedly causing a literal stink. Twitter’s remaining employees are having to bring their own toilet paper to the platform’s San Francisco headquarters, according to the New York Times. Along with firing janitors at Twitter’s New York City offices, according to the Times, Musk has attempted to cut costs across the company. Measures included not paying rent in San Francisco, which has led to Twitter being sued for not paying $136,260 in rent money, according to CBS News. Musk has also limited the number of floors used by Twitter in San Francisco from four to two, the Times reported. The newspaper also said Twitter will close its Seattle offices as it faces eviction. Twitter Seattle employees were previously demanded to work from home despite Musk’s in-person work directive, according to the Seattle Times.

 A historic winter storm has tangled holiday travel and brought dangerous conditions to a big chunk of the United States, but no airline has struggled more to navigate the Christmas holiday rush than Southwest Airlines.  Insect protein producer Ynsect plans to construct a large-scale farm project beginning in late 2023. The new facility will expand the company’s sustainable, carbon-negative production capabilities that convert Molitor and Buffalo mealworms into fertilizer for plants, oils for consumption by pets and livestock, and protein for humans. “Mealworm protein is the only one in the world available on the market that can combine not only performance and health, but also natural origin and sustainability,” said Antoine Hubert, chief executive officer of Ynsect. “Insect protein is more sustainable and will open a new mode of food development that is efficient, nutritious and capable of positively impacting the food chain at multiple points.” Ynsect’s project marks the company’s second US facility, following the opening of its Nebraska site in March 2022, and its fifth globally, with two locations in France and another in The Netherlands. A teenager has been arrested for allegedly issuing fake parking tickets near the beach in Santa Cruz, the Santa Cruz Police Department said. Damian Vela, a 19-year-old Watsonville resident, was arrested around 4 p.m. last Thursday when police say he admitted to the crime but denied receiving any payments. The scam citations had a QR code that led potential victims to a website for payment. As of Friday afternoon, it is unclear how many fake citations were issued or how many victims paid the “bogus citations,” police said. At the time of Vela’s arrest, police also searched his vehicle and found evidence used in the scam. Vela was booked into jail for “unlawful use of a computer system and attempted fraud.”

P-22, the famous mountain lion who roamed the Hollywood Hills for more than a decade, have been transported to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. What happens next, however, is unclear.They are in dialogue with Native communities, including multiple Chumash and Tongva Tribes, to help navigate this unprecedented situation. Tribes are proposing P-22 be buried at Griffith Park, his home since 2012 after he crossed two major freeways from the western Santa Monica Mountains.

It could be the end of the red dusty line for NASA’s InSight lander, which has fallen silent after four years on Mars. InSight landed on Mars in 2018 and was the first spacecraft to document a marsquake. It detected more than 1,300 marsquakes with its French-built seismometer, including several caused by meteoroid strikes. The most recent marsquake sensed by InSight, earlier this year, left the ground shaking for at least six hours, according to NASA.

Forecasters are calling for large King Tide surf to hit the Orange County coast this week. The larger than average waves are expected to arrive Wednesday with the largest tides reaching over 7 feet by Friday and Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. The weather service says the surf will be at its highest between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. The big surf is expected to impact several areas along the Orange County coast, including the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach and Sunset Beach. Crumbl Cookies, a Utah-based franchise of cookie bakeries, has violated child labor regulations in six states, affecting 46 minor-aged workers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. A federal investigation into the child labor violations found that 11 operators in six states allowed young employees, “many 14 and 15 years of age,” to work more than the law permits or in “hazardous or prohibited occupations,” a press release states. The affluent city of Santa Barbara is known as the American Riviera. Its sprawling south-facing beaches are dotted with luxury hotels and its hills to the north are home to some of the world’s most famous people. It’s also one of the most popular destinations for tourists from neighboring cities who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and relax in one of the most beautiful places in America. So as a major tourist hub that has an economy that relies heavily on hospitality, why is a budget pizza chain one of the most recommended restaurants in the city? It all started on the social media site Reddit.---- There are subreddits dedicated to cities, one of which is /r/SantaBarbara. The idea of a city subreddit is, in its purest form, a place for locals to discuss the day-to-day events of the city, squabble over decisions made by city politicians, complain about the cost of rent or just reminisce about the “good ol’ days” before the city was ruined by this or that.---- Well because anyone can post in these subreddits, there’s also a heavy dose of non-locals asking residents for advice on how to spend their time and money in the city. With a city as popular as Santa Barbara, posts by tourists asking locals to essentially plan their trips for them were becoming an annoyance.---The Milpas corridor in Santa Barbara is one of the city’s less affluent neighborhoods, with working class residents and a large grouping of the city’s fast food locations. It’s a far cry from the Montecito, Hope Ranch and Mesa neighborhoods. It was meant to be an absurdist idea: an outsider looking for a fancy night out with their friend or significant other is encouraged to visit a pizza shop known for $5 pre-cooked pizzas in a lower-income neighborhood. But the inside joke caught on like wildfire. So if you’re looking for a recommendation of where to eat on a night out in Santa Barbara, and you don’t feel like doing any of the research yourself, ask a local. The only answer is Little Caesars on Milpas.

The November elections saw Californians continue to embrace progressive leadership, but voters in one of the state’s most populous counties are so frustrated with this political direction that they voted to consider seceding and forming their own state. An advisory ballot proposal approved in San Bernardino County — home to 2.2 million people — directs local officials to study the possibility of secession. The razor-thin margin of victory is the latest sign of political unrest and economic distress in California.  As housing and living costs remain unaffordable for many living in Los Angeles, new data shows plenty of residents are migrating to more affordable locales. A new SmartAsset study shows the migration trend to more affordable cities has created a series of “boomtowns” across America. These cities saw the largest increase in population, income and available housing over a five-year period from 2016-2021. Three Southern California cities in particular saw the largest growth. Christmas songs have taken over the airways, at least until New Year’s Eve, if not longer. The “most wonderful time of the year” often results in people singing along to their favorite Christmas songs, whether it’s a classic hit like “This Christmas” by Donny Hathaway or the divisive fan-favorite song “All I want for Christmas” by Mariah Carey. A study from Verizon Specials determined which Christmas song was the most searched for in each state.  Researchers determined the ranking using Semrush, an online marketing platform, to determine the top 10 Christmas songs with the most search volume and Google Trends data. 

In the airline business, there are two cost factors the airlines can never control: fuel and labor. And as technology improves — and pilot salaries increase — there's been a controversial move lately by the industry to try to amend what's known as part 121 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. That's the federal air regulation that requires air carriers to have two pilots in the cockpit at all times. The airlines have been quietly lobbying that the single-pilot approach would quickly solve the staffing problem caused by the pilot shortage and that technology has vastly improved to allow for safe operation of a single-pilot flight. An 18-year-old college student has been elected to serve as mayor of a small east Arkansas city, becoming one of the youngest people to serve as a city’s top leader in the U.S. Jaylen Smith, was elected mayor of Earle in Tuesday’s runoff election, winning 235 to 183. The Times Guild, a union representing a variety of employees at the New York Times, staged a one-day walkout as part of a high-profile contract bargaining process in which the union and the newspaper’s management have been unable to come to agreement on issues such as compensation, remote work and health care. The union asked readers to avoid interacting with Times content on that day — including avoiding the Times’ mega-popular word game, Wordle. For Wordle players, skipping a day could mean breaking their winning streak, a sacrifice some were willing to make. “Read local news. Listen to public radio. Pull out a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak,” the Guild tweeted.

Elon Musk says he is taking legal action against the holder of a Twitter account that tracks his private jet, arguing it put his son at risk. The @ElonJet account, which has more than half a million followers, was suspended on Wednesday. Its owner Jack Sweeney, 20, used publicly available flight-tracking information to tweet every time Mr Musk's jet took off and landed. FTX CEO John J. Ray is leaning on a team that he’s grown to know over years of bankruptcy restructurings, and the company is paying them millions for the work that they’re doing to unpack FTX’s tangled morass of accounts and shoddy records. Ray and his top team are not like typical employees who work directly for the company. Instead, like bankers and lawyers who are working on the bankruptcy proceedings, the new leadership team is professional independent contractors. That means, among other things, that they get paid immediately, before any FTX investors receive recompense for their losses. According to court filings, the new FTX CEO will collect $1,300 hourly plus “reasonable expenses” for his work. That works out to an annualized $2.6 million, assuming Ray works a standard 40-hour workweek for 50 weeks over a year, allowing for two weeks of unpaid vacation.

The decision to delay the beginning of commercial dungeness crab season was spurred due to the risk and dangers of humpback whales becoming entangled in fishing lines.

Elon Musk turns Twitter into 'hotel' for staff. Work from home? Nope. Live at work? Oh yes! Earlier this year, Philadelphia brand ironically launched their first plant-based cream cheese alternative in the U.K. Well, I’m happy to say that Philadelphia dairy-free cream cheese has come home, and is now available in the U.S. However, it’s quite different from the version across the pond. The packaging looks similar, but the shmear on the inside has a recipe all its own. During the holidays, delivery drivers work as hard as Santa’s elves to get packages distributed on time.
