This week: flamingos in Wisconsin, another alligator fatality, a secretive church is buying out a town, AI continues to generate ...
They can last a while in there. I used my shop vac for spotted lantern flies. They didn't die.
"Those girls should be full of life and extra spicy. I anxiously await your unboxing video," read a message directed at the thief.
Whoever stole the shop vac is in for a very big surprise.
Madeline-Michelle Carthen tells the I-Team she has been wrongly labeled as dead, and it has impacted every aspect of her life.
Lingering drought conditions have kept the Mississippi River at abnormally low levels and significantly weakened its flow, allowing salt water to creep in.

Fake information shakes down social media. It's been a very busy week!
Scientists blast claims of two 'alien' bodies that a journalist presented to Mexico's congress.
It sparked fears that a grisly crime had taken place
It's not "finders keepers". In this case, the owner was identifiable. There are laws in most states that require you report found valuables or cash and make an effort to find the owner. It's at least a misdemeanor if you don't.
This was not a new photo, as noted. The photo was apparently with the Centre for Fortean Zoology and they determined it was NOT genuine.
Jetpacks? Puh-leeze. Don't they read the real news!? L.A. Jetpack man was probably a balloon https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59167345

Ha. I thought the same thing. Dogs don’t like “spa day”.
This is a rural area, the houses are very far apart. He was aiming for it, but hit a drainage ditch and became airborne. If he hit the ground floor, it could have been tragic rather than just so bizarre.
The state wants to ban all mention of gender and sexuality in schools because they don’t think children need to learn about that (even though that’s real life).

I'm on Bluesky. It's vapid. Boring. I forget about it, check it once a week and nothing happens except people make a huge deal about cancelling someone. Not worth the hype at all.
OOPS! My bad. When I added the photo for the post, it deleted the news link. Now fixed. Video is available at the link. Sorry.
I’ll take whales jumping over whales dying any day.
Always be tenacious, click on the link. (Now fixed.)
