A Teddy Bear That Looked Like It Was Made of Human Flesh Was Found at a California Gas Station—Authorities Investigated, But It Turned Out to Be Something Else Entirely No one who happened upon that bear outside the AMPM gas station in Victorville, California on July 13, 2025, could have prepared for what they thought they were seeing.

He Ran Into Fire With Nothing But Courage

This Pizza Delivery Driver Saw a Burning House and Did the Unthinkable—He Saved Five Children Without Any Gear, Training, or Even a Phone was just another night shift for Nicholas Bostic, a 25-year-old pizza delivery guy in Lafayette, Indiana. He was driving through the neighborhood around midnight on July 11, 2022, heading nowhere in particular between deliveries, when something caught his eye—a home completely engulfed in flames. No sirens. No firetrucks. Just a burning house and the terrifying realization that someone might still be inside. Nick didn’t have a phone on him to call 911. Most people in that situation

This Homeless Man Chose His Puppies Over Himself

He Lives on the Streets, But Spends Every Penny on His Rescued Dogs—This Homeless Man’s Story Will Melt Your Heart On a warm sidewalk in Brazil, surrounded by the soft hum of passing traffic and the occasional footsteps of strangers, an older man sits quietly beside a wall. He has no home, no shelter, and very little money. What he does have, though, are a few soft blankets, a collection of well-loved toys, and several sleeping puppies curled around each other like they’ve known nothing but love. The man doesn’t sleep on the bedding—he gives that to the dogs. He’s

Indonesian Teen Drifts 1,200 Miles for 49 Days on a Tiny Raft—Fishing, Prayer and Hope Keep Him Alive When 18‑year‑old Aldi Novel Adilang stepped aboard the fishing raft known locally as a “rompong,” he probably thought it would be another routine trip maintaining lamps to attract fish. But on 14 July 2018, strong winds and high seas snapped the rope anchoring his floating hut off the coast of North Sulawesi, Indonesia—sending him adrift in the vast Pacific Ocean with no paddle, no motor, and just a week’s worth of supplies. That moment marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey of

Trump Admin Greenlights Bibles and Crosses for Federal Work Desks

Trump Administration Issues Memo Letting Federal Employees Display Religious Items and Even Preach Their Faith at Work—What It Means for Government Offices The other night I paused, staring at that image of Trump prompting Bibles and crosses in federal workplaces, and felt a mix of surprise and unease. The policy seems almost surreal—federal employees now have permission to carry their faith openly on the job. Let me walk you through what’s changed and why it matters, told more like a story than a policy summary. In late July 2025, the Trump administration, via the Office of Personnel Management, quietly issued

Ginny Burton Was Once a Lifelong Drug Addict with 17 Felony Convictions — Now She’s a University of Washington Honors Graduate Fighting for Justice Ginny Burton’s journey is the kind of story that feels mythical — except it’s completely real. I first saw a photo of her before-and-after side by side and thought somehow the captions were swapped.

Jenna Ortega’s Snakeskin Goth Look Has Everyone Talking

Wednesday’s Jenna Ortega Went Full Gothic Serpent at the Season 2 London Premiere—and Fashion Fans Are Losing Their Minds I still can’t shake the memory of Jenna Ortega stepping onto the purple carpet in London last week. The air felt charged, every camera lens pointed at her—because she didn’t just arrive. She transformed. Gone were the familiar brows, the usual gothic teenage attire fans had come to expect. Instead, she emerged in a sculptural snakeskin gown, bleached brows, waist‑length ponytail—and it stunned the crowd into silence. From the moment she appeared, it was clear this was more than a red
