Doing News the Hakai Magazine Way
If ever a blog post deserved a “Sorry I haven’t posted in a while,” this might be it. In December, I wrapped up nearly a decade of work as the news editor at Hakai Magazine. We ha…

The number of squirrels is affected by the number of cars. And “the number of cars is wrapped up with income," Carlen says. "And income in St. Louis is highly tied to race. This is all linked together,” she adds.

Who's to say this isn't how the Louisiana Purchase started
More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Just as Delmar Boulevard carves a socioeconomic line through the city, it also splits St. Louis’s squirrels in two. “The same way that 23andMe can tell if you’re from Scotland versus England, we can tell, ‘Oh, these squirrels are from North City; these squirrels are from South City,” Carlen says.
St. Louis, Missouri's fractured urban landscape affects more than its human residents. According to urban ecologist Elizabeth Carlen, the city’s divisions are even altering its wildlife.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.
He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.
(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)
