Genetic research finds the Humboldt squid is vulnerable to overfishing.
As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered.

9 OCT 2020 — Seeding the Present Denies the Future and the Present?
A few searches on Google this last week produced some interesting results. What was surprising was a ranking decision made related to a search for the newly created Office of International Religious Freedom. Excepting the first site to be listed would to my mind be the official state department website at state.gov. No, that was not the first listed result, instead a religious news site took first place in the vaunted Google prize for placement. It also included the sub-enumerated hierarchy of links as in many promoted sites. Thus, is it possible to promote an unaffiliated site over an official site or governmental site?
This is new behavior, a mistake, or some other form or feature that has metastasized within the GooglePlex universe?
