Capybaras are eaten during Lent in Venezuela because they are considered “fish” by the Vatican.
Sometime between the XVI and XVIII centuries, Venezuelan clergymen wrote to the Vatican with a special request. They had discovered an animal that lived in water, had webbed feet, and tasted like fish.
With Lent approaching, they asked the Vatican to grant the animal the status of fish, so they might eat it during the upcoming days of meat-free fasting.
By letter, the Catholic Church agreed, and the capybara—the largest living rodent in the world—became a coveted addition to many Lenten dinner tables.

His tweets criticised Ireland's immigration policies, migrants and, according to authorities, could fuel violence.

Telegram is potentially developing a "frozen" account feature for users violating its Terms and Conditions. Source code analysis suggests that affected accounts would be placed in a read-only state, restricting all actions, including sending messages. Telegram may offer an appeal process via @SpamBot, with account deletion as the consequence if unsuccessful. Profiles of frozen accounts could also display a visual indicator to other users. It's currently unclear if this feature will replace permanent bans. As this is based on pre-release code, all details are subject to change.

"Nixon was watching the scene at the Dallas police station where Jack Ruby shot Oswald, Nixon immediately turned as white as a ghost, explaining that he had personally known the gunman under his birth-name of Rubenstein. While working on a House Committee in 1947, Nixon had been advised by a close ally and prominent mob-lawyer to hire Ruby as an investigator, being told that “he was one of Lyndon Johnson’s boys.” Stone also claims that Nixon once emphasized that although he had long sought the presidency, unlike Johnson “I wasn’t willing to kill for it.”"

⚠️ Injustice: Helen Grus
Helen Grus has been found guilty of discreditable conduct.
Helen Grus, a detective with the Ottawa Police Service's sexual assault and child abuse unit, was found guilty of discreditable conduct on March 26, 2025, for accessing case files to which she wasn't assigned and interfering in an investigation by contacting the father of a deceased infant to inquire about the mother's COVID-19 vaccination status.
Grus initiated an unauthorized project between June 2020 and January 2022, accessing the records management system files of nine infant or child death cases without her investigative role or responsibility. She claimed she suspected a potential link between the COVID-19 vaccine and an increase in infant deaths, believing further investigation was necessary to rule out any adverse effects from the vaccine. However, her actions were deemed to have brought discredit to the police service and undermined the confidence of families in the health and medical community.

"“Essentially, what we’ve discovered is that systems that contain an asymmetry in either electrostatic pressure or some kind of electrostatic divergent field can give a system of a center of mass a non-zero force component,” Buhler told The Debrief. “So, what that basically means is that there’s some underlying physics that can essentially place force on an object should those two constraints be met.”"
