AdvertisementAn Airbus A321neo operated by TAP Portugal was grounded to locate 132 escaped hamsters on board. Escaped hamsters can pose safety risks as they can chew through electrical cables and wires. An Airbus A321neo was grounded for several days to track down dozens of hamsters on board, Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manhã reported. The report said 132 hamsters escaped from their cages in the cargo hold of the plane, which was operated by Portuguese flag carrier TAP Air Portugal — leaving ground maintenance teams trying to track them down. In a similar incident in 2017, a cargo plane was grounded due to escaped hamsters, Newsweek reported.

The 2024 election may have shown the mainstream media is losing its grip on political commentary. AdvertisementThe campaigns in this year's presidential election have shone a light on the waning influence of mainstream media. AdvertisementWhile mainstream media outlets are establishing growing audiences on apps like TikTok, young people still tend to get their news from influencers and non-legacy media accounts. Doug Eldridge, founder of Achilles PR agency, told BI that legacy media outlets will use the election to reassess their next steps. "Much like the dinosaurs, the legacy media will either adapt or become extinct."

To truly live a purposeful and meaningful life, we might need to make some adjustments to our network of friends and colleagues. I'm also not talking strictly about promoters who will sing our praises when we've reached a high point; they're wonderful, but we need other help along the way. We need the cheerleaders, advisors, and collaborators who are right there with us in the trenches of making or trying something new. 'They can be equal parts role model, mentor, therapist, coach, and co-conspirator'Gems are those people in our lives who help us feel our best. And they don't necessarily need business degrees or a high net worth to be valuable partners in life.

Washington CNN —Former President Donald Trump’s late-campaign television ads are littered with deceptively edited and misleadingly described quotations. Multiple Trump ads omit critical words from quotes by and about Vice President Kamala Harris on the subject of tax policy. One Trump ad misleadingly depicts comments about fracking from Trump’s campaign and administration as if they were comments from independent news organizations. Tactic: Cutting out key wordsOne Trump ad deletes critical words from two separate quotes on Harris’ tax policies. Those ads feature on-screen text saying “Harris would raise taxes,” attributing those words to a CBS News article.

☆ Ryan Routh was camped out for 12 hours and didn't have Trump in his line of sight when Secret Service fired at him

The revelations about Ryan Wesley Routh emerged Monday, a day after a Secret Service agent rousted him from a hiding place at the West Palm Beach, Florida, golf course where Trump had been playing. Trump was on the fifth fairway and not in Routh’s line of sight when the agent “engaged” the suspect, said Ronald Rowe, acting director of the Secret Service. In 2002, court records show, Routh was convicted of illegally possessing a machine gun. Court records for a person named Ryan Routh also show a 2003 divorce, along with multiple civil judgments after contractors and individuals sued a roofing company he helped run. Routh disparaged Trump as a “fool” and a “buffoon,” but he credited him for reaching out to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Routh became animated when writing about Trump, and he frequently weighed in on US and global current events on social media. He even commented on the first assassination attempt on Trump, when the former president was wounded by a gunshot during a rally in Pennsylvania in July. According to Cernea, Routh described Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as a “black and white… good versus evil” conflict.
