As a longtime former resident, I don't mean to be overly sanguine about this. But based on year-over-year percentages, DC is on pace for just 49 murders in 2026. That would be at least the lowest since 1960, but maybe the lowest since the Civil War. mpdc.dc.gov/dailycrime

I started teaching 4th graders graphic design at an afterschool program, and this one kid does not engage with any of the material, but he comes into class and furiously googles the Titanic for an hour every week

California squirrels are eating rodents in broad daylight. In California’s Briones Regional Park, researchers observed a startling new behavior: California ground squirrels, typically known for eating nuts and seeds, are now hunting, killing, and consuming voles, a smaller rodent species in their habitat. A study in the Journal of Ethology documented 74 squirrel-vole interactions, with 42% involving squirrels stalking, pouncing on, and eating voles. This behavior, observed almost daily, marks the first recorded instance of widespread carnivory in this species. While squirrels have occasionally eaten insects or bird eggs, actively hunting warm-blooded prey is unprecedented. Student-recorded videos show squirrels chasing voles, restraining them with forepaws, biting their necks, and consuming their flesh or organs. The behavior may stem from a vole population surge—nearly seven times the state’s ten-year average—prompting squirrels to exploit this abundant protein source. Squirrels of all ages and sexes participated, suggesting a potential lasting adaptation. It’s unclear if this carnivorous trend will continue once vole numbers normalize, but the discovery reveals the surprising adaptability of even well-known animals.

BREAKING: @ConceptualJames fails to confirm identity of "Insurrection Barbie " on TV. "I don't know who she is." "I've never met her. I don't know for sure." Host: "There can be no doubt from what she's writing - if it is, in fact a SHE." So Barbie's gender is now in doubt.

At least four Islamic schools in Texas, including one in Houston, have been added to the state's voucher program after the schools sued the comptroller's office for blocking them from the program. houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…




A big part of “cities are awful” discourse is some people are more scared by rough areas than others. I was in NYC in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. I saw real crime. I am less easily scared than Coddled clearly is. This doesn’t mean crime isn’t bad, it’s just not as bad as they claim.

Uh oh. Looks like liberals finally found out what his position on illegal immigration was.

The Hoover Dam was built in the amount of time it has taken California to construct a small bridge for cats and butterflies. The Empire State Building was built in about a quarter of the time.
