☆ The chemtrail conspiracy theory has its moment in the sun amid hurricanes Milton and Helene

As myths about Milton and Helene spread, interest in chemtrails increased too on Google search and social media. Despite the lack of evidence to support it, the so-called chemtrail conspiracy theory has endured for decades. Some of the promotion of the conspiracy theory has taken on a distinctively antisemitic tone. Peters previously promoted the unhinged conspiracy theory that ballots were flown from Asia as part of a plot to steal the 2020 election from President Trump. Friedrich suggested the conspiracy theories blaming weather manipulation for the devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton is a way to distract from the real effects of climate change.

The Summary A new study found that some members of an octopus species hunt cooperatively in groups with fish. A new study shows that some members of the species Octopus cyanea maraud around the seafloor in hunting groups with fish, which sometimes include several fish species at once. It’s an indication that at least one octopus species has characteristics and markers of intelligence that scientists once considered common only in vertebrates. These hunting groups typically included several species of reef fish, such as grouper and goatfish. These are the ambush predators, the ones that don’t move, don’t look for prey,” Sampaio said.

Often described as "butlers with badges," the Indian Creek police force is unlike most of its counterparts.

Kid-led birthday parties allow kids to practice practical skills every step of the way, taking work off the parents' plates.
