Move over, Pizza Rat, there's a new celebrity rodent in town!


Who among us hasn't had a moment of boldness and inspiration, trying to do the seemingly impossible, mustering our courage to really go for the gold... only to find ourselves embroiled in fiasco as soon as we do? It's part of the human condition, relatable to all of us.

Including, apparently, rats.

A video recently emerged that featured a rat pulling a fire alarm is causing quite a stir on the internet. In fact, you might even say it's caused a firestorm.

As video from a DC condo building's surveillance shows, last summer, a rat was traipsing along a railing when he discovered an intriguing sort of box on the wall--a standard fire alarm with a pull-lever. He leaps for the box and promptly falls--but not before pulling the lever and tripping the fire alarm.



The incident triggered an evacuation of the entire building, for no reason.

On social media, some people were delighted:






Some were repulsed:


Some were outraged:



And some were even inspired:





Others couldn't help but empathize with the little guy:




Some even found in the rat's exploits echoes of our troubled times:



And of course, some couldn't resist the opportunity for a pun:



Whatever your feelings, this little guy clearly managed to assert his dominance over the humans trying to eradicate him and his compatriots.

Here's to you, Condo Rat.

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
