One 89-year-old woman made 7,532 donations totaling $68,666

On a recent vacation to North Carolina’s Outer Banks, I asked the manager of a beach shop what the crabs needed. “Just food and water. Don’t need to take them for a walk, nothing.” How long do they live? He had heard of one that lasted seven years, but “you never know,” he said. “One year, one week, one month.” Few people know the truth about the crustacean that briefly resides in their child’s bedroom: that it was meant to live for at least 30 years. That it was taken from the wild. And that it was doomed even before you brought it home. This quiet tragedy of the dead-before-its-time hermit crab repeats itself over and over every summer. If it’s ever going to stop, crab advocates say, we need to reconsider everything we know about these creatures.

Trump has pushed for using the military to thwart cartels he blames for the flow of fentanyl and other illicit drugs into the U.S.

'We have not reached any agreement,' a visibly annoyed President Claudia Sheinbaum said after the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration announced a partnership.

Messages are often left on victims' bodies by cartels seeking to threaten their rivals or punish behavior they claim violates their rules.

Two women, later identified as Flanagan and the other party, can be seen on police body camera video standing outside the restaurant as an officer pulls up. As the officer gets out of his cruiser, Flanagan tells him she wants him to "turn his body cam off." "Protocol is that you turn it off if a citizen requests to turn it off," Flanagan, of Warwick, says. During the recorded interaction, Flanagan repeatedly asks officers to turn off their body cameras, insisting it was protocol. Newport Police Department protocol allows for the footage to be turned off if a witness or victim requests it and the scene is non-confrontational, among other situations. "They want you guys to leave. Let's just leave. Let's just make it easy," an officer can be heard saying on the video. Flanagan was handcuffed and placed into a police cruiser first, the video shows. "I'm an A.G., I'm an A.G," Flanagan repeats as the cruiser door shuts.

Most people not deeply involved in the artificial intelligence frenzy may not have noticed, but perceptions of AI’s relentless march toward becoming more intelligent than humans, even becoming a threat to humanity, came to a screeching halt Aug. 7. That was the day when the most widely followed AI company, OpenAI, released GPT-5, an advanced product that the firm had long promised would put competitors to shame and launch a new revolution in this purportedly revolutionary technology. As it happened, GPT-5 was a bust. It turned out to be less user-friendly and in many ways less capable than its predecessors in OpenAI’s arsenal. It made the same sort of risible errors in answering users’ prompts, was no better in math (or even worse), and not at all the advance that OpenAI and its chief executive, Sam Altman, had been talking up.

“It’s getting out of hand,” one seller says. “They realize the US market is a gold mine.”

The FDA is warning the public not to eat, sell or serve certain Great Value raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart due to possible contamination with Cesium-137.

Restaurant executives sound like they’re operating on different planets these days. In the fast-food and slightly higher-end fast-casual world, caution is the mood. Cava and Chipotle missed Wall Street forecasts and warned that customers are getting more price sensitive. McDonald’s is seeing double-digit traffic declines among its lowest-income diners, while Wendy’s also says budget-conscious customers are pulling back. Meanwhile at sit-down casual-dining chains, the tone is more optimistic. Chili’s has become the poster child for the group, reporting a 24% jump in U.S. same-store sales last quarter compared with a year earlier. Over the past three years, shares of Chili’s owner Brinker International have returned over 300%.

The new ‘COPILOT’ function uses AI to generate summaries, tags, tables, and more based on a group of cells. The COPILOT function comes with a couple of limitations, as it can’t access information outside your spreadsheet, and you can only use it to calculate 100 functions every 10 minutes. Microsoft also warns against using the AI function for numerical calculations or in “high-stakes scenarios” with legal, regulatory, and compliance implications, as COPILOT “can give incorrect responses.”

On average, three hikers have died every day throughout the summer in Italy’s high peaks. Experts explain why.

Bryan Kohberger developed a reputation for being sexist and creepy while attending a criminal justice program in the months before he killed four University of Idaho students in 2022, fellow grad students told investigators. His behavior was so problematic that one Washington State University faculty member told co-workers that if he ever became a professor, he would likely stalk or sexually abuse his future students, according to the documents. She urged her co-workers to cut Kohberger’s funding to remove him from the program.

Out of 654 Thai foreign workers questioned, all of them said they had been exposed to sexual assault.

Despite the title, this is not a tragic biography of addiction so much as an interesting selection of anecdotes regarding antique collecting and going overboard with experimental archaeology.
