292 crocodiles

In an Indonesian village, a man was killed by a crocodile. In response, some 600 of his fellow countrymen gathered shovels, hammers, clubs, ropes, machetes and hoes and went out and killed 292 crocodiles, amassing them in a bloody pile.

It’s unclear whether the crocodile that killed the man was among the dead. [The Washington Post]

$155 million

Over the past three years, the family firm of Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, sold apartments in one building in Brooklyn for a total of $155 million. These apartments had been rent stabilized, but nearly 75 percent of the building was sold or emptied in an effort to turn it into luxury condos.

This was accomplished, current and former residents told the Associated Press, through a relentless campaign of construction and rent hikes meant to drive out residents. The construction drowned out conversation, rattled pictures off walls, and gave an invitation for rats to enter through holes in walls, according to a lawsuit filed by tenants. They also allege carcinogenic dust flowed into apartments and coated beds and clothes. [AP]

There may be more than a quadrillion (with a q) tons of diamond buried more than 100 miles below the Earth’s surface, a fact discovered thanks to a quirk in seismic data. But in the absence of a Technodrome Krang drill or some new Elon Musk fever dream, these diamonds are buried too deep to be reached anytime soon. [MIT]
