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.

Trump Ripped After Griping About 'Sissy' New NFL Kickoff Rule In Unhinged Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after he complained about the NFL's new "Dynamic Kickoff" rule that is designed to make playing football safer, calling it "sissy" football in a Monday morning post on Truth Social.

Under the previous rules, kickoffs began at the kicking team’s 35-yard line, with the goal of sending the ball as far as possible to pin the opposing offense deep in its own territory. The receiving team would try to advance the ball, which would often lead to high-speed collisions as players sprinted directly at each other.

Political Commentator Epically Fact-Checks Vance's Baseless Claims About Political Violence

In the wake of far-right activist Charlie Kirk's assassination, Vice President JD Vance has stepped up his attacks on leftists, this time by baselessly claiming that the far-left is more likely to commit political violence than the far-right.

Vance hosted a special episode of Kirk's podcast to attack what he referred to as “the lunatics in American politics" and said without any evidence that the suspect in Kirk's killing was motivated by far-left ideology.
