New Haight-Ashbury record store aims to revive San Francisco punk scene
In Haight-Ashbury, where counterculture echoes through the streets, a new record store is turning up the volume on punk. More than just a shop for vinyl, tapes and CDs, I Hate Records is carving out a space for the city's punk community. Run by artists Cody Azumi and Pretty Sims, the store stays as unapologetically raw and DIY as the music on its shelves. "One of my favorite things about punk rock is the ability and freedom to question authority," Azumi said. The co-founders of I Hate Records say the store is more than a business, it's about building a space for real, face-to-face connection. "You know, you can order anything you want on the internet," Sims said. "But I think that actually having that face-to-face, real conversation about it, and learning what people in San Francisco think punk is, is really important." The shop, which also operates as an independent record label, aims to welcome those unfamiliar with punk, inviting them to learn and experience the scene. "I would love it if people came into the store and gave it a chance and learned about the ethos and whatnot," Azumi said. "Because it is very angry music. You know, I think a lot of people have reasons to be pissed off right now." That DIY ethos extends to the very walls of the store, with a lens toward social justice. "This shop means a lot to me," one customer said. "I think it's a capstone. It was built on a lot of hard work. And I think it's really a pillar of the punk community. Got a lot of cool records, and it just feels like home when I'm in here." That's exactly the experience Azumi and Sims hope to create. "It kind of just makes you feel a little bit better," Sims said. "Just to know that you have people around you who are supportive and who are into making art for a greater purpose, to just say what you feel, no matter what other people think." Each day, the shop stands as proof of punk's enduring roots in the Bay.

Tobey Maguire files for joint custody of son
Tobey Maguire has filed for joint custody of his son and Jennifer Meyer's son Otis. Nearly 10 years after the pair announced their split, Tobey – who also shares daughter Ruby, 18, with Jennifer – has filed a response to Jennifer's initial divorce filing from 2020, requesting joint legal and physical custody of their 15-year-old son. According to Us Weekly, he has also asked for child and spousal support 'to be determined through private mediation'. Tobey, 50, and Jennifer, 48, tied the knot in Hawaii in 2007, four years after they first met. They announced their split in a joint statement in 2016, saying: 'After much soul searching and consideration, we have made the decision to separate as a couple. As devoted parents, our first priority remains raising our children together with enduring love, respect and friendship.' Jennifer only filed for divorce four years later, with Tobey's response coming this month. The pair have maintained a close friendship following their split, with Jennifer previously telling Us Weekly: 'He's my best friend. He's the greatest ex-husband a girl could ever have. 'The day begins with the kids and ends with the kids. So, you manage to get your time in and work hard in the middle, you know? They're really amazing kids, so we figure it out together. It just manages to work out really well.' Speaking on The World's First Podcast in 2022, Jennifer – who got engaged to Geoffrey Ogunlesi last year - said: 'I can't even explain. I would literally do anything in the world for Tobey. He is my brother. I love him to death, and we have the most beautiful family.

'Amazing' scene captured as crocodile goes on 7km journey with feral invader
When you live in the 'Top End' of Australia, it's amazing what you can see on your work break. That was the case for photographer and crocodile expert David White who takes tourists on cruises on the Daintree River in Far North Queensland. But between boat rides this week he managed to stalk a young and ambitious crocodile who happened upon a solid meal before taking it on a seven kilometre ride. David was on his smaller zero emissions cruise boat with his camera gear and drone when he spotted the scene this week. "It's electric and nice and quiet," he told Yahoo News. It allowed him to get quite close to the crocodile, affectionately known as Nate, when he poached the dead feral pig from another male's territory. A stunning image captured the moment the croc claimed his prize under a ceiling of mangroves. Reason crocs flock to secret Aussie beach covered in footprints Amazing crocodile photo highlights $800,000 problem in outback Warning of invasive predator 'boom' as rangers work 'around the clock' "He's not the dominant male here, that's Scarface – he is our boss crocodile. And Scarface has another boss at each end of his territory ... but you got this young Nate, a sneaky one, who sneaks around behind their backs and when no one is looking he adds to the gene pool," David explained. "I followed him and he just kept on going. He went a long way – seven kilometres down the river. I had to get back to do another cruise, but he kept on going. "He took it through Scarface's territory, through another male's territory ... It was amazing." At one point, a female crocodile tried to join the party, David recalled, as it followed along hoping to get a piece of the action, but was ultimately denied. "Crocs can't always eat their piggies straight away because their teeth are sort of cone shaped," he explained. They're great for catching and throttling prey but not quite so good for chewing. "So they've got to marinate it a bit, so he took it down somewhere secretive, up a little creek, I guess, to let it soften up a bit". "One less feral pig," David said when sharing the scene online this week. Feral pigs a major part of Australia's invasive pest problem This feral pig was dead when the crocodile found it, and it's unclear what killed it. But the species doesn't have to worry about too much as they plunder their adopted environment, causing an estimated $100 million economic burden on Australia's agricultural sector every year. Saltwater crocs love eating feral pigs, says Deakin University ecologist Euan Ritchie. While that's good news, we don't exactly know how useful they are at helping reduce feral pig numbers. "Pigs and crocodiles live in the fast and slow lanes, respectively," he wrote in The Conversation last year, referring to the habits and breeding rates of both animals, in particular the prolific breeding of pigs. "This means feral pigs can endure relatively high predation rates and still persist in ecosystems in large numbers." Speaking to Yahoo News last week, Professor Ritchie lamented the persistent ecological issues posed by a slew of invasive species on Australia's landscape. "In northern Australia ... some areas have feral donkeys, feral horses, feral cattle, feral water buffalo and feral pigs, all in the same area," he said. "In arid Australia, feral camels, feral donkeys, feral horses, feral cattle, feral goats and introduced European rabbits may all co-occur."
