The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says consumers should avoid eating shellfish from Oregon and Washington state as they may be contaminated with toxins that cause paralytic shellfish poisoning

Oregon has expanded shellfish harvesting closures along the state's coastline to include razor clams and bay clams

The total global volume of fish, shrimp, clams and other aquatic animals that are harvested by farming has topped the amount fished in the wild from the world’s waters for the first time ever

Nerul, a village close to the mouth of the Mandovi River in Goa, it’s time to celebrate clams. The sands of the riverbed and shore are ideal places to find tisriyo, small but very tasty shellfish. A village tradition has grown of gathering, cleaning, and cooking tisriyo on this day. It isn’t a religious event, though the local priest is happy to give blessings. This is excellent, because shellfish should be celebrated in India far more than they are. North Kerala loves mussels and Indian oysters are now found in upmarket restaurants, but given the length of our coastline, we hardly seem to do justice to shellfish. They tend to have an unclean reputation, perhaps because they are found in mud and are often filled with it, or because some species can occasionally be toxic, depending on the waters from which they have been filtering food. Shellfish have often been left to marginalised communities, as Dalit writer Urmila Pawar recalls in her memoir 'Aaydan: The Weave of My Life'. She writes of how women from her community would forage along coasts for oysters, make a small fire and place the shells on it, eating them as they opened. Foragers like this would have known the seasons when they were safe to eat and how to leave the smallest ones, so they could grow and reproduce.

OpenAI board must have been watching this episode when it suddenly and inexplicably decided to dismiss the company’s charismatic founder-CEO Sam Altman in a half-hour of frenzied activity. The reverberations felt around the planet were like an alien landing’s, as the tech world and journalists tried to make sense out of this unexpected ouster.

Editor’s note (November 29th 2023): On November 28th America’s Food and Drug Administration accepted a “Reasonable Expectation of Effectiveness" application by Loyal, a veterinary-medicine company, for its life-extending drug for large dogs. This is the first time the FDA has recognised the possibility that a drug intended for any species might have general lifespan-extending properties. It is entirely possible that at this point you, the reader, are thinking that a greatly enhanced lifespan would be there for the taking had you only had the good luck or foresight to have been born a laboratory mouse. So many things, after all, seem to extend their life’s lease.

India and Canada, triggered by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegation of Indian agents being behind the killing of a pro-Khalistan leader on his home soil, Canadian journalist Terry Milewski on Tuesday said he hoped that more «evidence» will come to the surface in the form of «leaks, or announcements or private briefings». Speaking to on Tuesday, Milewski said the allegation «better be good» as if it isn't, it will turn into a «bigger embarrassment for Prime Minister Trudeau». He said the «Indians were not going to sit quietly» unless the Canadian government presented «evidence» to back its claim of New Delhi's involvement in the killing of the wanted Khalistani leader. «So I think that over time, either through a procedure of leaks or some sort of announcement or some nice little off-the-record private briefing for chosen reporters, that in one way or the other, it's going to get out what the government is talking about...I can tell you that it better be good. Because if it's not, this is just going to blossom into an even bigger embarrassment for Prime Minister Trudeau,» Milewski added. Milewski is a former senior correspondent for Canada-based CBC television news. The Canadian journalist said there has been a persistent rumour within the Khalistan community in Canada that this (killing of Hardeep Nijjar) was not some local gangland killing. «The problem is that for the Canadians there has been a persistent but unconformable rumour...within the Khalistan community in Canada, which is large and very active, that this was not some local gangland killing, as it first appeared.

His multivolume novel spanned an epic battle — and now another, maybe less epic battle is being waged on the island dubbed “the most expensive in the world.” This time, the protagonists are all actual real residents, or at least part-time residents.
