A fossil jawbone peeking out from a limestone seashore on Scotland's Isle of Skye led scientists to discover the skeleton of a pterosaur that showed that these remarkable flying reptiles got big tens of millions of years earlier than previously known. Researchers said on Tuesday this pterosaur, named Dearc sgiathanach, lived roughly 170 million years ago during the Jurassic Period, soaring over lagoons in a subtropical landscape and catching fish and squid with crisscrossing teeth perfect for snaring slippery prey. With a wingspan of about 8 feet (2.5 meters), Dearc was the Jurassic's largest-known pterosaur and the biggest flying creature that had inhabited Earth to that point in time.

When Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his decision to recognise two breakaway regions in east Ukraine as independent, NATO member and Black Sea neighbour Turkey swiftly criticised the move, but stopped short of announcing any punitive measures. Turkey is in a unique bind: it has good ties with both Ukraine and Russia, but also opposes sanctions in principle, just as the West is poised to slap them on Moscow as long promised. The crisis leaves President Tayyip Erdogan balancing those diplomatic relations along with his duties within NATO, while also protecting Turkey's beleaguered economy from back-to-back shocks after a currency crisis in December.
Russia announced troops would be sent to parts of eastern Ukraine controlled by separatists. This week Russia recognized the separatist-held territory as two independent nations. The map below details what that recognition could mean for Ukraine's territorial integrity.

A lawyer for a woman who accused former President Donald Trump of raping her in the mid-1990s and then filed a defamation lawsuit against him said Tuesday she will not seek to depose Trump prior to trial because it would cause unnecessary delay, but added that a DNA sample was still being sought. Attorney Roberta Kaplan first made the revelation in Manhattan federal court during a pretrial hearing before explaining the decision to reporters outside the court as her client, E. Jean Carroll, stood by her side. A deposition, Kaplan said, would โinevitably result in an inordinate amount of delay.โ

Rittenhouse had traveled to Kenosha with an assault-style rifle and subsequently shot and killed two protesters in the summer of 2020.

The cargo ship Felicity Ace is aflame from bow to stern with a lithium-ion battery fire that can't be put out with water alone. The ship left Germany on Feb. 10 and headed for the US with about 4,000 Porsches, Bentleys and other luxury cars aboard, and some of those were electric vehicles. It's not clear if the batteries contributed to the fire starting in the first placeโa greasy rag in a lubricant-slicked engine room or a fuel leak are the usual suspects in ship firesโbut the batteries are keeping the flames going now.
It's unclear why the RNC chose those specific presidents. It's not simply a reverse-order list of the most recent Republicans in the Oval Office, as it skips Gerald Ford and Herbert Hoover.

A U.S. judge signaled on Tuesday he may not let Donald Trump countersue E. Jean Carroll, a writer who accused the former president of raping her in the mid-1990s and is suing him for defamation. At a hearing in Manhattan, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan suggested it might be futile for Trump to claim that Carroll's lawsuit violated a New York "anti-SLAPP" law protecting free speech, citing several courts that found similar laws did not apply in federal court. "I question whether you have the right to do what you are seeking to do, because it seems to me it's entirely inconsistent with the notion of futility," Kaplan told Trump's lawyer Alina Habba.
โMasks have served as an important line of defense against COVID-19. But the facts on the ground clearly warrant a shift.โ
โBeing done with masks means being done with COVID โฆ COVID and all of its variants are not done with us.โ
โWhile COVID is having certainly a huge impact on children, the masks are not. They seem to be bothering adults more.โ
โFearmongers are determined to place restrictions on children. It doesnโt matter if the science says otherwise.โ
โRequire vaccination and boosters in schools, both for staff and students. Then consider dropping the masks.โ
