penneyd··on Legal Scholars Are Shocked by Ginni Thomas’s “Stop the Steal” Texts
Did you not read the article?

Justices are subject to a federal law that prohibits them from hearing cases in which their spouses have “an interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding.” The statute, 28 U.S.C. section 455, also requires them to disqualify themselves from any proceedings in which their “impartiality might reasonably be questioned.”

How can you argue this isn't applicable?

penneyd··on First confirmed hatchings of two California condor chicks from unfertilized eggs
This article has a bit more detail and describes the health issues these birds experienced

"both of the condors did have some documented health issues. SB260, a male hatched at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in 2001, died two years later after being released into the wild—he was always small and did not integrate well with the wild birds. SB517, a male hatched at Los Angeles Zoo in 2009, had a curved spine and trouble walking. He was never released into the wild and died in captivity at about age eight."
