Today in History: February 4th
On this day in 1937, the animated feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs came out in theaters nationwide. In a series of maneuvers that critics described as “Disney's folly,” producer Walt Disney mortgaged his home &sold his car in order to pay production costs.

Female #kakapo Phoenix on her nest yesterday, with three eggs. We suspect they're infertile, but it's hard to tell yet as they're either very dirty or young. She's one of at least 24 female kākāpō on nests on Anchor Island, with 3 more nests found today! #kakapo2026 #conservation #parrots

On Feb. 4, 1880, a mob of vigilantes attacked a homestead in southern Ontario and murdered five people.
They then burned the farm to the ground. No one was ever convicted.
This is the story of the Donnelly Massacre.
