Terrorist Attack In Texas Kills Two, Wounds 14

DailyMail— A late-night shooting in Austin left two people dead and 14 others wounded after a gunman opened fire outside a crowded bar district. The violence erupted shortly before 2 a.m. on West Sixth Street near Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden, where authorities say the suspect initially shot from inside an SUV before exiting the vehicle and continuing to fire with both a handgun and a rifle. Police officers at the scene returned fire, killing him. Officials reported that the attacker wore clothing bearing the words “Property of Allah” and an image of the Iranian flag, and a Quran was later discovered in his vehicle, prompting the FBI to investigate possible terrorism links. The suspect was identified as Ndiaga Diagne, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Senegal who entered the country in 2000 and became a citizen in 2013; authorities noted he had a history of mental health issues. Investigators have not found evidence connecting him to any organized group, and the motive remains under investigation.

Suspect Posing As Mailman Attacked Couple After Giving Them Extortion Letter

KIRO7— A Seattle man was taken into custody after allegedly disguising himself as a USPS mail carrier and assaulting a couple at their home. Dressed in a postal uniform and carrying a branded mailbag, he approached the residence and handed the victims an extortion letter demanding 10 bitcoins—valued at roughly $650,000—while referencing a long-running dispute involving one of the victims and threatening to share damaging information if the payment was not made. As the couple read the note, the suspect reportedly attacked them, punching both individuals and at one point strangling the wife. When police arrived, the suspect and the male victim were still struggling. Officers said the man was carrying tasers, zip ties, a cell phone jammer, and other items, leading investigators to believe he intended to restrain the couple. He now faces charges including burglary, extortion, assault, and criminal impersonation.

NY Post— A recent study by Morning Consult found that Americans are turning to fast food less out of cost concerns or cravings and more because they feel too exhausted to cook at home, with 40% of respondents citing fatigue as the primary reason. Among those who said they were simply too tired, Five Guys and Raising Cane’s ranked as the top choices. The report also noted that people often opt for fast food for quick lunches during work breaks, casual outings with friends, or convenient stops while traveling. Additionally, 58% of fast food customers are Gen Z and Millennials, who tend to prefer quick, low-effort meal options.

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

Old Stuff Day

Old Stuff Day is that annual civic ritual where we pretend we’re “honoring the past” when really we’re just digging through closets like raccoons with a mortgage. You drag out the junk drawer antiques, the sentimental knickknacks, the clothes that don’t fit but still feel like a personality, and you decide—briefly—that maybe your life isn’t a storage unit with feelings. It’s part nostalgia, part archaeology, part low-grade panic, and somehow you’ll still end the day keeping the one thing you swore you’d toss because it “might be useful.” Officially it’s about appreciating what you’ve got; unofficially it’s a warm-up lap for admitting you’ve been hoarding time.
