ARLINGTON, Va. (DC News Now) — The Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA) welcomed several baby critters to its Wildlife Resource Center at the start of the week.

On Monday, the nonprofit posted on the X platform saying that it had taken in a baby squirrel.

“Though we offered him formula, all he wanted to do was nibble on this acorn!” AWLA’s post said.

AWLA said that the squirrel is in a rehabber’s care until he gets old enough for re-release.

Two more babies also needed the Wildlife Resource Center’s help — in a post on Tuesday, AWLA said that two orphaned baby foxes from different areas came in on Monday as well.

AWLA said that the babies needed “immediate care” — once they had their fill of baby food, they were also sent to a rehabber for care until they could be re-released.

X should bring back stars, not hide 'Likes'
Elon Musk's X is preparing to make "Likes" private on the social network, in a change that could potentially confuse users over the difference between something they've favorited and something they've bookmarked. According to new posts by company employees, the decision to hide "Likes" is meant to incentivize engagement, by allowing people to favorite content that seems "edgy" and to protect their public image. The change comes across as somewhat unnecessary, given that X, the company formerly known as Twitter, already had a private way to save posts on the platform: Bookmarks.

$6M fine for robocaller who used AI to clone Biden's voice
The FCC has proposed a $6 million fine for the scammer who used voice-cloning tech to impersonate President Biden in a series of illegal robocalls during a New Hampshire primary election. It's more about robocalls than AI, but the agency is clearly positioning this as a warning to other would-be high-tech scammers. This was, of course, fake — a voice clone of President Biden using tech that has become widely available over the last couple years.
