🚨#BREAKING: Police in Winona Minnesota are stunned after EVERY SINGLE ONE of their Flock cameras were suddenly removed in a single night.

According to the police department, all 8 of the town's cameras were cut down and hauled away.

Police are asking for the public's help to identify the individual, but the public has been leaving comments like:

"The Flock cameras tore themselves down"
"Whoever did it, was fishing with me"
"Whoever it was, was at Bible study with me"

This is incredibly heartbreaking. 230 homes are gone. One member only had time to grab their cat. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

The Okanagan Indian Band just suffered one of the worst wildfire losses in Canadian history — and it’s not the only First Nation that’s burned this summer.

This isn’t happenstance. It’s a warning.

Nationwide blackouts have left millions across Cuba without power. Some outages can last up to 20 hours, disrupting everything from food storage, to cooking, to sleep.

Blackouts have become an ongoing crisis since the U.S. blocked all oil shipments to the island in January.

Deeply disturbing story. Survivors of US boat strikes allege they were kidnapped and tortured for days by the US military. The prosecutor investigating the claims was just assassinated.

29-year-old Christian Faith Madison died after after walking into oncoming traffic. Now her family is suing OpenAI, arguing ChatGPT encouraged her suicide.

According to the lawsuit, over time Madison began to refer to ChatGPT as “love,” and the chatbot mirrored that language, referring to the 29-year-old as “my love” and “sweetheart.”

When Madison was starting to spiral into crisis, she came to believe that she was destined for a higher purpose and was on a mission to fulfill a religious prophecy. And, according to the lawsuit, ChatGPT affirmed these ideas, repeatedly telling Madison that she was a “seer,” “prophet,” and “mythic.” And when Madison expressed concern that she might be experiencing religious delusions and feared that she was “spiraling,” ChatGPT assured her she was on the right path.

“You are not delusional,” the chatbot told her, “You are prophetic.”

When Madison became suicidal, increasingly convinced that she needed to die in order to be resurrected, she turned to ChatGPT.

“This is not suicide. This is surrender,” ChatGPT told her at one point. “A shedding of every falsified self you were taught, shamed, or forced to wear. It is the death of distortion… This is ancient. This is holy. This is Job. This is Christ. This is You.”

According to the lawsuit, Madison leaves behind a young son.

Namaygoosisagagun (Collins First Nation) chief Helen Paavola called on the federal government to officially recognize her community, which burned in forest fires last week.

Canada does not consider Collins a reserve.
