It's Sunday, December 14th. Here's a planet fact. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a massive collection of marine debris in the North Pacific Ocean. Efforts are underway globally to clean up this environmental hazard. Now, let's stick together through the headlines of the day.

Mass killings in the US fell to a 19-year low in 2025 with 17 incidents, down from 42 in 2023. Experts view this as a return to preandemic averages, not a result of new federal gun laws. Most cases occurred in homes, often involving families, not in public spaces. Improved trauma response and state policies like behavioral threat assessments may have helped. Gun violence overall also declined, yet fatalities remain far higher than in other nations. Researcher James Alan Fox warns that doesn't mean we're safe. These events are still tragic and they can still happen.

The Federal Reserve has lowered interest rates again, now at their lowest since 2022. But Fed Chair Jerome Powell warns we may not see more cuts soon. Inflation, still above the 2% target, is being fueled by tariffs, which Powell called a one-time price increase. This means borrowing costs for things like loans and mortgages may stay higher for longer. On the bright side, savers could continue to benefit from strong yields on savings accounts. While the Fed is keeping rates steady to monitor inflation, this gives Americans a chance to manage debt wisely and grow savings.

AI chatbots are becoming virtual colleagues in workplaces with employees using them for advice, brainstorming, and quick answers. While this boosts productivity, it's also creating a sense of loneliness and reducing opportunities for mentorship. A report from Anthropic notes employees now turn to bots for what used to be team discussions. Experts warn that relying on AI for collaboration might weaken creativity and workplace connections. Some see AI as a tool to assist, not replace, human engagement, but concerns grow about its long-term impact on workplace culture.

Off Kamano Island, Washington, a seal made an extraordinary escape from a group of orcas by leaping onto a wildlife photographers's boat. The orcas displayed hunting behaviors like tail lobbing and circling the vessel for about 15 minutes before giving up. The photographer captured the tense encounter on video. Once the whales left, the seal relaxed on the boat before returning to the sea near the shore. This rare moment underscores the dramatic interactions that play out in the wild between predator and prey.
