    ‘Mega-fat’ marmot captivates photographer in Kamloops, B.C., park
    https://www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article/mega-fat-marmot-captivates-photographer-in-kamloops-bc-park/
    Marmots - commonplace and typically unremarkable - had rarely caught the attention of hobbyist photographer Taylor Borth until she discovered one so rotund in a park in Kamloops, B.C., it forced her to stop in her tracks. “As I was rounding the corner of a pond, I gasped, because I could see this mega-fat marmot sitting there, and I just couldn’t help but take a picture,” she says.

    Forensic Architecture investigation of aid in Gaza: two models
    https://frames.forensic-architecture.org/gaza/aid/aid-in-gaza-two-models
    In Gaza, aid is currently distributed to civilians through two systems: a militarised system operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), referred to here as the ‘GHF model’, and a civilian system composed of UN agencies, other international aid organisations, local government, and civilian security, referred to here as the ‘UN model’. The GHF is a US- and Israeli- backed organisation founded in the US in February 2025. Its background and operations remain unclear. The civilian aid system in Gaza has been systematically targeted and dismantled by Israel since October 2023, and today it approaches the point of collapse.

    The Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food
    https://archive.is/7a1gF
    Five months into its unprecedented dismantling of foreign-aid programs, the Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people abroad who need it. Nearly 500 metric tons of emergency food—enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week—are set to expire tomorrow, according to current and former government employees with direct knowledge of the rations. Within weeks, two of those sources told me, the food, meant for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan, will be ash. (The sources I spoke with for this story requested anonymity for fear of professional repercussions.) Sometime near the end of the Biden administration, USAID spent about $800,000 on the high-energy biscuits, one current and one former employee at the agency told me. The biscuits, which cram in the nutritional needs of a child under 5, are a stopgap measure, often used in scenarios where people have lost their homes in a natural disaster or fled a war faster than aid groups could set up a kitchen to receive them. They were stored in a Dubai warehouse and intended to go to the children this year.

    German customs officials show images of tarantulas hidden in spongecake boxes after smuggling bust
    https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/article/german-customs-officials-show-images-of-tarantulas-hidden-in-spongecake-boxes-after-smuggling-bust/
    BERLIN — Arachnophobes beware: Customs officials on Monday released photos from a seizure of roughly 1,500 young tarantulas found inside plastic containers that had been hidden in chocolate spongecake boxes shipped to an airport in western Germany. Customs officials found the shipment at Cologne Bonn airport in a package that had arrived from Vietnam, tipped off by a “noticeable smell” that didn’t resemble the expected aroma of the seven kilograms (about 15 pounds) of the confectionery treats, Cologne customs office spokesman Jens Ahland said.
