Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan's husband Bader Shammas has shared a gushing tribute to her in a rare update on their love life having chosen to keep details private Lindsay Lohan's husband has shared a gushing message about the star in a rare update on their love life. Bader Shammas, 38, shared a photo of the couple alongside a heartfelt caption. The pair have opted to keep their romance largely private, having tied the knot in April 2022. Actress Lindsay, also 38, beamed in the sweet photo with her husband as they holidayed in Monte Carlo, Monaco. She tried to keep cool in the heat in a pair of black oversized sunglasses, diamond earrings and a black spaghetti strap top. The Parent Trap star matched her husband Bader as he donned a black T-shirt and matching sunglasses. Alongside the loved-up snap, Bader wrote: "My life. And what a blessing you are." Lindsay was clearly pleased with his outpouring of affection as she re-shared his post to her 15.6million followers. She is no stranger to high-profile romances, which may have played a factor in how she chooses to share glimpses into her life with Bader. Lindsay started dating Bader, who is a financier for Credit Suisse, in 2019. Their relationship was largely kept under wraps until they announced their engagement in November 2021. At the time, Lindsay declared: "My love. My life. My family. My future," as she shared snaps of her engagement ring. The pair even managed to keep their wedding a secret until three months later as in July 2022, Lindsay revealed: "I am the luckiest woman in the world. You found me and knew that I wanted to find happiness and grace, all at the same time. "I am stunned that you are my husband. My life and my everything. every woman should feel like this everyday." She didn't reveal her wedding date at the time, having only posted on April 3 this year that it was the couple's third anniversary. Lindsay proudly shared a photo of Bader and their son Luai, who they welcomed in July 2023. Announcing her wedding date, she commented: "Happy Anniversary to my one and only. My forever and ever. I love you." The actress has been gushing about her husband in interviews as well, having told Cosmopolitan: "Well, I have an amazing husband, who's a very calm person. Just the best. And my family. "And I feel like I have a small group of good friends who are just really good people. That's the only support that I really need: friends, family and loved ones." While on The Tonight Show, she spoke of her marriage and revealed: "It's great. It's amazing I met my person. You never know if you're going to find that in life and he's an amazing guy, man. I love him and we're a great team. "You just get to share everything with someone. And it is so special. Everything becomes that much more important, I feel like."

Lethal algae bloom is over, but sickened marine mammals aren't safe yet
It was one of the largest, longest and most lethal harmful algae blooms in Southern California's recorded history, claiming the lives of hundreds of dolphins and sea lions between Baja California and the Central Coast. And now, finally, it's over. Levels of toxic algae species in Southern California coastal waters have declined in recent weeks below thresholds that pose a threat to marine wildlife, according to the Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System, or SCCOOS, which monitors algae blooms. lthough this provides a much-needed respite for marine mammals and the people working to save them from neurotoxin poisoning, scientists warned that the coastal ecosystem is in the clear yet. Just as January's firestorms struck well outside Southern California's typical fire season, this explosion of harmful algae appeared earlier in the year than have previous blooms. Further outbreaks are still possible before the year is up, said Dave Bader, a marine biologist and the chief operations and education officer for the Marine Mammal Care Center in San Pedro. 'It's definitely over, but we still have the work of rehabilitating the [animals] that we have saved,' Bader said Wednesday. 'And we're not out of the woods with this year at all.' Bader was among a group of ocean specialists who gathered at the AltaSea complex at the Port of Los Angeles to brief Mayor Karen Bass on the coastal effects of January's fires. That disaster didn't cause the algae blooms. This is the fourth consecutive year such outbreaks have occurred along the Southern California coast, fueled by an upwelling of nutrient-rich waters from the deep ocean. Yet multiple research teams are currently investigating whether the surge of additional runoff into the sea resulting from the firestorms may have contributed to the recent bloom's intensity. No data on the subject are available yet. But given the relationship between nutrients and harmful algae species, Mark Gold of the Natural Resources Defense Council said he would not be surprised if the fires played a role in this year's severity. 'As a scientist who's been looking at impacts of pollution on the ocean for my whole career, … one would expect that [fire runoff] is also having impacts on harmful algal blooms, from the standpoint of the intensity of the blooms, the scope, the scale, etc.,' said Gold, the organization's director of water scarcity solutions. 'We'll find that out when all this analysis and research is completed.' In terms of animal mortality, this year's bloom was the worst since 2015-16 outbreak that killed thousands of animals between Alaska and Baja California, said SCCOOS director Clarissa Anderson of UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Four different algae species were present this year. The two most dangerous produce powerful neurotoxins that accumulate in the marine food chain: Alexandrium catenella, which produces saxitoxin, and Pseudo-nitzschia australis, which produces domoic acid. The toxins accumulate in filter-feeding fish, and then poison larger mammals who gobble up the fish in mass quantities. (This is why the blooms don't pose the same health risks to humans — very few people eat up to 40 pounds of fish straight from the sea each day.) Beginning in February, hundreds of dolphins and sea lions started washing up on California beaches, either dead or suffering neurotoxin poisoning symptoms such as aggression, lethargy and seizures. A minke whale in Long Beach Harbor and a gray whale that stranded in Huntington Beach also succumbed to the outbreak. Scientists believe countless more animals died at sea. The outbreak was more lethal than those in recent years, Bader said, and veterinarians were able to save fewer animals than they have in the past. Researchers are still grappling with the catastrophe's full impact on marine mammal species. The outbreak was particularly deadly for breeding females. California sea lions typically give birth in June after an 11-month gestation. At the blooms' peak, 'they were actively feeding for two,' Bader said. Domoic acid crosses the placenta. None of the pregnant animals the center rescued delivered live babies, he said. 'We don't really know what the environmental impact, long term, is of [blooms] four years in a row, right during breeding season,' Bader said. 'The full impact of this is going to be hard to know, especially at a time when research budgets are being cut.' As climate change has shifted the timing and intensity of the strong wind events that drive upwellings, 'we're coming into a future where we unfortunately have to expect we'll see these events with recurring frequency,' Bader told Bass at the roundtable. 'The events that drove the fires are the events that drove the upwelling.' This story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times.

Rosebud lands $6M to scale its interactive AI journaling app
Journaling app Rosebud has raised $6 million in seed funding as it seeks to further flesh out its app as an AI mentor for self-reflection and personal growth. Rosebud uses AI to analyze your journal entries, identify patterns over time, and provide insights, questions, and guidance. The company says its goal is to help users better understand themselves, build new habits, and track goals, just like a human mentor would. Since its launch, Rosebud says, users have journaled 500 million words and spent more than 30 million minutes on its platform. Rosebud was founded in 2023 by Chrys Bader, a Y Combinator alum and co-founder of Secret; and Sean Dadashi, a UC Berkeley Cognitive Science graduate. The pair met at a men's group, and came up with the idea for Rosebud based on their own experiences with therapy and coaching. 'Everybody is different, and everyone has different languages, not just spoken languages, but different emotional language, different ways of communication,' Bader said in an interview with TechCrunch, explaining that AI allows for a level of personalized coaching and support that wasn't available so far. 'So one person might want validation and a soft approach, whereas somebody might want the really hard, like, 'hey, challenge me, call me out on my BS' approach," he continued. "Part of understanding somebody is using that understanding to best support each individual. That's what AI unlocks; that's never been possible before, to scale that kind of personalized advice or support where every individual could have this wildly different experience than the other, depending on what they shared.' Rosebud says it isn't looking to replace therapists, and instead wants to open up access to quality mentorship. The company plans to use the new funding to expand its team of four with engineering and product talent, and investing more into marketing. The startup also plans to invest more in its proprietary memory technology, and build out the app's features. In addition, Rosebud wants to explore ways to make its AI journal more accessible, possibly through partnerships with schools, businesses and clinics. The seed round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from 776, Initialized Capital, Fuel Capital, Avenir, Tim Ferriss, and other investors. Rosebud states that all journal data is encrypted, and that journal entries are never shared with third parties or used to train AI models. Looking forward, Bader and Dadashi envision Rosebud as a mentor, teacher and partner that can develop strategic, long term engagement plans with users. For instance, if someone is about to become a father, Rosebud could create personalized content around that milestone with journaling and other resources. 'What if everybody had something that was looking out for what's best for them? Or something that's helping them become their best self? I think that's the exciting thing that AI enables," Dadashi said. "I benefited so much from having mentorship throughout my life at various times, and I've suffered in times when I haven't had that mentorship. I think what we're seeing is a future where this can be available to everybody in a way that it just wasn't possible for it to be available before. You can have something that's actually thinking about you, actually trying to understand you, and is aligned with who you want to become.' Rosebud's basic journaling features are free to use, but the startup offers a $12.99 monthly subscription that unlocks premium features, such as long-term memory, and voice and call modes. The AI journal is accessible via the web, and on iOS and Android.
