A beer can started it. A veteran's career ended it.
POST ABOUT HANTAVIRUS TURNED OUT TO BE A PREDICTION
On May 1st, a guy posted thougts during an H5N1 workshop
Almost nobody noticed it.
Just days later - around May 3–5 - major headlines about the suspected hantavirus cruise ship outbreak started appearing.
Did he actually predict it?
Not exactly. Experts have warned for years about how dangerous a human-transmissible hantavirus could be.
But posting that… literally days before the outbreak news exploded online?
Yeah, the timing is insane.
NEW: The F-14 Tomcat may fly again over the United States for the first time in nearly 20 years.
The Senate has unanimously passed the "Maverick Act," which would transfer 3 retired F-14Ds from an Arizona boneyard to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center museum in Huntsville, Alabama.
The Navy would reportedly supply enough spare parts to get one of them airborne again.
The bill was introduced by former Navy SEAL Sen. Tim Sheehy, and is being championed by NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman.
It now heads to the House for final passage, possibly in time for America’s 250th birthday. The last Navy F-14 was retired in September 2006.

😳 “Pocahontas” is suing the creator of Avatar
Actress Q’orianka Kilcher claims James Cameron used her appearance as inspiration for Neytiri.
She is demanding compensation, a share of the franchise’s profits, and official recognition of the alleged resemblance.
So… do they actually look alike? 👀
The @20DaysMariupol documentary won the "Oscar" award. I am grateful to the team for this film. This award is important for our entire country.
The horrors of Mariupol must never be forgotten. The entire world must see and remember what the inhumane Russian invasion brought to our people.
Cities and villages were destroyed, homes were burned, and entire families were killed by Russian shells and buried in their own backyards.
We still do not know entirely how many people died in Mariupol. However, satellite images show graveyards around the city with thousands and thousands of graves.
This documentary serves as a reminder of why international assistance—without delays or interruptions—is so critical to Ukraine. The Russian evil does not pause and does not seek peace. They want to inflict the same fate on every city that they can reach as they did on Mariupol, Bucha, and our other cities that suffered under Russian occupation.
Together, we must prevent Russia from destroying life. We must protect our country and all of our people in order to restore normal life free of fear.
I am grateful to everyone in the world who understands this and continues to support Ukraine. I thank everyone who tells the truth about Russia's war crimes.
