They call it the washing machine. It is a brutal, churning stretch of water between Mississippi’s Horn and Ship Islands. Locals know it. The dead know it too. This is where 18-year-old Nolan Wells ended up after a Fourth of July boat trip went sideways. Brian Trascher, vice president of the United Cajun Navy, knows […]

People are exhausting. Now, federal wildlife cops are hunting some genius who decided to use a protected California sea lion as a soccer ball. A viral video captured the whole ugly scene at San Diego’s La Jolla Cove. The footage is grim. It shows a person repeatedly kicking the marine mammal as it scrambles to […]

It was a grand promise. Arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. The only problem? He can’t. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani finally admitted the obvious on Tuesday, sending social media into a collective fit of laughter. In a video on X that racked up over 36 million views, the socialist mayor conceded that his grand plan to […]

Marcus L. Martin knew the Scioto River was a trap. A Baptist pastor who has spent a decade boating these Ohio waters, he knew the exact spot where the bottom drops out. On Sunday, he saw five adults wading waist-deep in the shallows. He felt a sudden, sharp unease. He didn’t warn them. There were […]

Kids drop things. It is what they do. But on a Saturday afternoon at Ed Stone Park, a dropped toy turned into a death sentence for a Florida mother. Nicole Grayson, 43, did what any parent would do when her four-year-old slipped into the murky depths of the St. Johns River. She jumped. She did […]

Two months of freedom. That was the dream. For Blaze, a high-priced Savannah cat who bolted from his owner in May, the adventure ended in a sterile clinic. He survived the wild. He lost a paw. Rescuers finally cornered the runaway in Bramerton, Norfolk. He was five miles from home, lurking near a residential garden. […]

Tourists never learn. They see a massive, two-ton lawnmower chewing grass and think it’s a fluffy cow. It isn’t. Bison are fast, heavy, and highly unpredictable. Carl McDaniel found this out the hard way. The 65-year-old grandfather was minding his own business on July 10 at Yellowstone’s Bridge Bay Campground. Then, a giant beast decided […]

Some people shouldn’t own pets. Michelle Ashford is one of them. The 52-year-old managed to cram 95 miserable creatures into her Stowmarket home, leaving them to rot in their own filth until the law finally caught up with her. Now, she’s banned from keeping almost any animals for the next decade. Except dogs, apparently. Because […]

Decades ago, scientists eyed a bizarre, 300-foot-tall slab sticking out of Phobos, one of Mars’ battered little moons.
