The Ford Mustang in 2023 overtook the Dodge Challenger to reclaim the muscle car crown in the race for U.S. sales. The Mustang managed 48,605 sales, a rise of 2.2% over the previous year. That figure was likely boosted by the introduction of the redesigned 2024 model last year. Challenger sales, on the other hand, dove 18% to end the year with 44,960 units moved. Production of the retro muscle car came to an end in December and some potential buyers may have held off on their purchase to see what Dodge has planned for the Challenger’s electric successor due…

After waiting until ten weeks into the 2023 regular season, quarterback Carson Wentz returned to the NFL and joined the Los Angeles Rams. Wentz didn’t have to wait long this off-season, and according to Adam Schefter, he is signing a one-year deal with the defending Super Bowl champion, Kansas City Chiefs.

Alpine’s sole vehicle at present is the gas-powered A110 sports car, but the French performance brand is gearing up to launch its first electric vehicle on the road to having a lineup that’s exclusively electric in only a few short years. The first EV will be the A290, a subcompact hot hatch which was previewed last year with the A290 Beta concept, and is a twin under the skin with the recently revealed Renault 5 E-Tech. Both models are due to start deliveries in early 2025. The A290 is still out testing in prototype form, but Alpine on Tuesday confirmed…

Pope Francis rallied from a winter-long bout of respiratory problems to lead some 60,000 people in Easter celebrations Sunday, making a strong appeal for a cease-fire in Gaza and a prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine.

Gaza’s people, including the small Christian community there, have been a source of constant concern for Francis and Easter in the Holy Land overall was a somber affair this year given the war.“Peace is never made with…

Atoosa Samani started learning about pigeon genetics at a young age. She grew up surrounded by pet pigeons in Isfahan, a city in central Iran famed for its pigeon towers. Her favorite was an all-white bird. But 6- or 7-year-old Samani noticed that this particular pigeon never fathered all-white offspring. She learned that white coloring is a recessive genetic trait — one that shows up only when an individual inherits two broken copies of a gene (SN: 2/7/22). In this case, the pigeon had two broken copies of a gene that normally makes pigment to color feathers, so his feathers…

Puberty changes just about everything. Bodies get taller, muscles get stronger — and often, body odor becomes more pungent. Now, scientists have identified some of the compounds that give teenagers their natural aroma. Unlike that of infants and toddlers, teenage body odor has two smelly steroids and higher levels of carboxylic acids, researchers report March 21 in Communications Chemistry. Those chemicals form when bacteria break down armpit sweat and sebum, the oily secretions that keep our skin moist, and may contribute to the noticeable changes in BO throughout puberty. “Body odor changes through development,” says chemist Helene Loos of Friedrich-Alexander-Universität…

Former President Trump railed against his New York civil fraud case and those involved Monday, calling it a “fabricated election interference con job” just hours after he posted a $175 million bond in the case. In a lengthy post on Truth Social Monday night, Trump argued the judgement will harm New York and called for the disbarment of Judge Arthur Engoron and New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), who brought the suit against the former president, his business and former executives. “I’ve just posted a 175 Million Dollar Bond with the sadly failing and very troubled State of New…

Paws overpaying for pets on planes. American Airlines is relaxing its policy for passengers who travel with pets. The airline is now letting passengers bring both a pet and a regular carry-on bag or personal item into the cabin. Carry-on pets are dependent on breed and size. Getty Images Under the new policy, pet carriers will no longer be counted as carry-on bags, meaning travelers may be allowed to board the plane with their precious pet cargo plus an additional piece for just the $150 pet fee, the Associated Press reported. Previously, passengers who boarded with a pet were allowed…
