I keep hearing about “living dungeons” being great #TTRPG adventure locations, but I didn’t really see the point until I learned about the Japanese water scavenger beetle. This sounds absolutely great. Especially this kicker:
Speed is “imperative to success,” report the authors. If the beetles are in any way delayed, digestive juices will kill them.

This Parisian public transit project has been in talks for decades, and most lines will only open in the next several years, but it’s nice to see its completion getting within reach. A good city invests in non-car transit options and Paris has been doing very well on that front these past 10 years.
Nice to hear that e-books did not kill printed books, but complemented them. Most libraries, and independent ones at that, have apparently been doing quite well over the last few years.
