It was fun to read it was a 1.3 "tonne" animal.   The concept of a ton is goofy enough.

And yet, the fear and disinformation efforts are stronger than reality..

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s

"An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year. An overwhelming majority of Americans are wrong.

On Tuesday, August 5, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released its comprehensive report on crime in the United States for 2024. As crime data expert Jeff Asher noted, not only did the report reveal that overall crime was down substantially in 2024, but crime "fell in 2024 across every category and population group." Specifically, it "was down in all seven categories of crime across all 10 population groups that the FBI measures."

Moreover, the new FBI data shows that both violent crime and property crime are at their lowest level since the 1960s. In 2024, there were about 349 reported violent crimes in the United States for every 100,000 Americans. That is the lowest rate of violent crime since 1969."

I mean, this is great and all, but really I believe my dentist more than "statistics" when it comes to crime.

You're joking (maybe), but this definitely could be true.

Milwaukee contends with flash flooding, state fair and airport affected, with more rain expected Sunday - CNN - 2 hours ago

Floodwaters rushed through Milwaukee's fairgrounds, airport and roads Saturday, as historic rainfall led to flash flooding, water rescues and an early closure of the region's beloved state fair. With more rain forecast for the region Sunday, officials are urging caution on the roads.

The National Weather Service in Milwaukee issued several flash flood warnings for the area, which will remain in effect until Monday. Milwaukee received 5.74 inches of rain in just hours Saturday – a month and a half's worth of rain, setting a new daily record for the region. The Milwaukee River hit a record high crest of 11.19 feet. The previous record was 10.48 in July 2010.

Storms are continuing Sunday, with the potential for flash floods and street flooding, the National Weather Service office in Milwaukee said. The area is forecast to pick up an additional 1 to 3 inches of rain on top of what they have already received.

Any flooding on the MU campus?
