Victims of traffic violence in D.C. say the city needs to get drivers who rack up tickets off the roads. Most afternoons, Paisley Brodie calls her mother when she gets to the public library four blocks from her middle school on Capitol Hill. On Sept. 9, the call came when Deirdre Allen expected it, but her 12-year-old daughter was crying. “Mommy,” she said, “I just got hit by a car...” Allen never saw the man who hit her daughter with a black Land Rover. A witness told police, and later The Washington Post, that the driver did not stop in time for the red light. After he hit Paisley, witnesses said, the man berated her for being in the crosswalk, claiming she had a red signal. Paisley, unable to walk, was taken to Children’s National Hospital. The driver left with a citation for colliding with a pedestrian, which can lead to up to 30 days in jail. The driver, Earl Darryl Curtis, of District Heights, Md., said in an interview that he stopped in the crosswalk once he realized the light was red and that it was Paisley who collided with his car, not the other way around. “If I had ran the light, I would have run her over,” he said. “She damaged my car.” He went on to say, “I didn’t even see the girl. … The only thing they got me on is the crosswalk.” It wasn’t the first ticket or even the 50th tied to the car. Allen, who was given a photo of the license plate by a witness, learned that the Land Rover has 94 unpaid tickets worth $19,770 from D.C. traffic cameras, six for speeding just this month and four for running red lights since July. It’s not clear who was driving each time; the cameras capture only the license plate. When it comes to tickets linked to the Land Rover, Curtis said that “you can’t prove” who was driving and that his traffic-related record is “irrelevant” to the incident that left Paisley injured.

Police first claimed a knife was recovered Sunday but reversed course Monday, saying they were searching for a man seen taking the weapon from the scene.

Lebanese health officials warned the public to avoid using handheld communication devices on Tuesday after powerful Iran-backed militant and political group Hezbollah said pagers had exploded throughout the country. Al-Manar, a Lebanese television station run by Hezbollah, said the devices “exploded in the hands of their holders in a number of Lebanese regions.” “Large numbers of people with various injuries are arriving at Lebanese hospitals,” the Public Health Emergency Operations Center of Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health said, according to the state-run Lebanese National News Agency.

The arrest comes amid a wave of lawsuits filed against the music mogul alleging sexual assault.

"Everything broke and then rearranged completely randomly," Rosa Fernández, from Spain's Institute of Evolutionary Biology (CSIC-UPF), told Christie Wilcox at Science. "I made my team repeat the analysis a thousand times." Three groups of researchers have now independently reached this same conclusion, upending a long held assumption that there's a certain level of genetic stability required for animal species to avoid extinction.

Supporters of Wiener have pointed out that his positions on housing and on the war in Gaza, while at odds with some of the club's membership, mirror those of federal lawmakers the club is endorsing this year. Notably, his position on the Gaza conflict advocating for a ceasefire and hostage deal is indistinguishable from politicians the club continues to endorse, including Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, Congressmember Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco), and Congressmember Kevin Mullin (D-San Mateo/San Francisco).

Down a long, flat road in the industrial zone of South Memphis, a newly occupied factory is humming with activity. It’s a low-level white building that spans the length of several football fields. Workers in florescent green vests excavate the surrounding land, and a parade of construction trucks comes and goes. More than a dozen generators steadily burn methane gas. This part of Memphis, Tenn., is known for its factories and smokestacks. Nearby are a handful of historically Black neighborhoods, where poor air quality has given residents elevated asthma rates and lower life expectancy. Now, they have a new neighbor: Elon Musk. Alongside the factory are at least 18 portable methane gas generators, which visibly emit a steady stream of hazy smoke into the air. These turbines help fuel the company’s AI. They started to appear in June and have multiplied over the last couple of months. According to the Southern Environmental Law Center, it’s estimated these generators can provide enough electricity to power 50,000 homes. And they have the capacity to emit 130 tons of harmful nitrogen oxides per year, potentially making them a major source of the pollutant in Memphis. xAI doesn’t have air permits for these turbines, according to the Shelby County Health Department and the Environmental Protection Agency. The county health department told NPR that it only regulates gas-burning generators if they’re in the same location for more than 364 days. “Given the mobile nature of the gas-turbines in question … [the health department] does not have current permitting authority,” a spokeswoman wrote in an email. She said this is the Environmental Protection Agency’s jurisdiction.
